Serene Centre has a total gross floor area of 47,475 sq ft, comprising 30 retail and F&B units on the first and second levels and ten apartment units on the third and fourth levels. Car park facilities are located on the ground floor and basement of the building.
The development currently enjoys 100% occupancy. “The buyer can enjoy immediate rental income with a full occupancy and excellent rental upside,” says Shaun Poh, executive director of capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield.
Poh notes that the property is flanked by the nearby Cluny Hill, Cluny Park and Nassim Road GCB clusters. It is also a 100m walk to Botanic Gardens and Botanic Gardens MRT Interchange Station. It is also close to Nanyang Primary School, Hwa Chong Institution, Raffles Girls Primary School, Nanyang Girls’ High School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and St Joseph’s Institution. "We expect the asset’s superb location and attributes will be extremely appealing to both developers and investors,” he says.
Poh adds that the future owner could consider redevelopment of the property for strata sale or revamping it through a comprehensive asset enhancement initiative. “For instance, the 10 apartments on the upper floors could potentially be converted into a serviced residence or interesting co-living concept, subject to approval,” he continues.
The tender for Serene Centre will close on Nov 14 at 3pm.
