The fourth property, a strata shop at Parklane Shopping Mall, is located along Selegie Road, following the stretch where popular hangouts The Cathay, POMO and the School of The Arts (SOTA) are situated.
Within the immediate surrounding are also various commercial buildings and offices, with Bencoolen MRT station on the Downtown Line located approximately 260 metres away.
The 2,002 sq ft shop is currently tenanted to fast food chain McDonald’s, and has a guide price of $4.5 million to $4.6 million.
Mary Sai, Executive Director, Investment and Capital Markets, Knight Frank Singapore, comments, “As all four shops are situated in good locations with high visibility, they will appeal to investors looking for recurring income, as well as to owners for their own occupation.” She also added that despite challenges faced by the retail market from e-commerce and slower consumer spending, well-managed shops in better locations can still bear the brunt of competition from smaller shops in the neighbourhood.
The public tender and EOI for the retail shops will close at 3 pm on 19 February 2019.
