Why are buyers snapping up shophouses?

Three more shophouses have been put on sale in the Central Business District.

Shophouse transaction values saw a 30% increase in the first half of the year, and the market is expected to see continued attention.

In a statement, marketing agent Savills Singapore announced the sales offer of three adjoining shophouses in the Central Business District (CBD).

Savills Singapore Director for Investment Sales & Capital Markets Yap Hui Yee said that shophouses, particularly in the CBD, have always been well-sought after and seen stellar growth since June 2020.

“For contiguous row of adjoining shophouses, it gives the purchaser the flexibility to explore the change of uses potential and such assets are sought after as purchasers can be creative in the restoring of the space by leveraging on the larger floor plates. This is also an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers such as family offices to acquire a charming flagship property with potential signage right in the heart of Central Business District for their own operations,” said Yap.

In a separate report, real estate agency Knight Frank expects shophouse sales values for 2021 to exceed $1.46b, with sales volumes to breach the 200 unit mark.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
