56 Pagoda Street was sold for $23m.

Shophouse transactions above $5m grew 30% QoQ to $183.2m in Q4, Colliers International revealed.

According to a report, the total shophouse transactions in 2017 hit a new high of $795.1m since 2013's $855.9m.

Colliers managing director Tang Wei Leng said, "With a positive outlook for residential and commercial property sectors, shophouses which are hybrids of these sectors and are scarce in supply, should remain an attractive asset class for boutique investors."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
