In Singapore, we may consider hawker centres and coffee shops to be interchangeable, since many of the same popular dishes can be found in both types of locations. But hawker centres in Singapore are built and managed by the National Environment Agency (NEA), while most coffee shops are privately operated. How much is the difference in rent between them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our source of data therefore has to come from site Stall.sg<\/a>, which collates food stall listings. Do note that these are asking prices and may not represent the actual rental amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actual rental price data is relatively scarce and for stalls in several locations, rental prices would only be provided upon request. Based on this limited data, median prices for a coffee shop stall are $3,372 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNEA-Managed Hawker Centre Rentals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
