Shaun Poh, Executive Director of capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield said: “Despite the current overall market slowdown as a result of the cooling measures, conservation commercial shophouses remain an attractive investment option in view of the limited supply and have also proven to be a highly resilient property class.”
Agreeing, Simon Monteiro, Director at Historical Land, who specializes in shophouse transactions added: “With such limited supply and many foreign wealthy individuals and even real estate funds are moving deeper into the inherent spirit and ambience of these historic buildings , they see these assets like art in its architectural merits.
