The properties have a total floor space of around 8,000 sq ft, which means the indicative price translates to about $5,250 psf on the floor area.

ERA is the exclusive marketing agent for the shophouses. Tan adds that there has been an increase in investor activity since the US Federal Reserve announced its intention to lower interest rates. “We’ve observed a surge in interest and transactions in both shophouses and strata commercial units, and expect more record-breaking deals in the months ahead.” The EOI will close on Oct 17 at 3pm.
