The property features two separate entrance points, one at the back and another at the front of the property. As a non-conservation shophouse, it benefits from the flexibility to configure the space to suit a range of commercial uses, such as F&B restaurants, cafes, co-living, gym, medical, or offices.

“City fringe locations like Jalan Besar have become popular amongst investors in the last 12 months due to their rental upside and potential for capital appreciation. A non-conservation shophouse in the heart of Jalan Besar is few and far between,” says Sophia Lim, senior manager, investment sales & capital markets, Savills Singapore.

The EOI closes on Oct 21.
