The property is located across the road from mixed-use development The Riverwalk. It is also a five-minute walk to Clark Quay Central, an integrated development connected to Clarke Quay MRT Station. Raffles Place MRT Interchange Station (East-West and North-South Lines) is a 10-minute walk away.
“Given the extensive asset enhancement initiative and refurbishment works done to improve the property, as well as the renewal of the lease to a fresh 99-year tenure, we believe that the asset will garner strong interest from astute investors and owner-occupiers who are looking to own a timeless heritage asset within one of Singapore’s most coveted districts,” comments Clemence Lee, executive director, capital markets, Singapore at CBRE.
