SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The Lavender Collection, comprising 32 freehold shophouses along Lavender Street and Serangoon Road, has been put up for sale via public tender with a guide price of $138 million.

Under the 2019 Draft Master Plan, the site is zoned for commercial use with a gross plot ratio of 3.0.

With the portfolio located within the Jalan Besar Secondary Settlement conservation area, the new owner can construct a six-storey rear extension at the back of the shophouses to double the portfolio’s GFA to 147,732 sq ft. This is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
“With the prices of CBD shophouses rising over the last two years, we notice that investors are starting to divert their attention to city-fringe shophouses instead as prices have yet to catch up and rental yields are comparatively higher,” says Clemence Lee, senior director, capital markets, JLL. He expects interest from developers, real estate funds, family offices and local companies.
There is no additional buyer’s stamp duty or seller’s stamp duty imposed on the purchase of The Lavender Collection.
The public tender exercise closes on Wednesday, Oct 16, at 3pm.
