This approximately 3,770 sqft conservation shophouse at Boat Quay is offered for sale. The property has a 999-year tenure and the current listing information states that an F&B tenant occupies Level 1.
A Conservation Shophouse in the Singapore River Historic District
Boat Quay is one of Singapore’s Historic Conservation Areas. URA records that the area was gazetted for conservation on 7 July 1989 and is characterised by the restored shophouses and warehouses lining the Singapore River. Buyers should note that conservation guidelines apply to additions, alterations and changes of use.
Location and Connectivity
The property sits beside the Raffles Place financial district and within walking distance of both Raffles Place MRT and Clarke Quay MRT. Boat Quay also has a strong mix of restaurants, bars and services serving the CBD and Singapore River precinct.
Investment and Occupation Considerations
The external staircase serving the upper levels may allow different floors to be occupied separately. This can provide leasing flexibility, although buyers should verify the existing tenancy schedule, approved uses, access arrangements and any conservation or planning requirements before relying on a particular configuration.
The shophouse is marketed as a commercial property. Potential F&B, retail or office use should always be checked against the approved use for the specific premises and current URA requirements rather than assumed from surrounding businesses.
Who May Find This Property Suitable?
This Boat Quay shophouse may appeal to investors seeking a long-tenure conservation asset, owner-occupiers wanting a distinctive CBD address, and buyers who value the ability to manage more than one occupier across different levels.
