The Adelphi is a 999-year leasehold mixed-use property at 1 Coleman Street in District 6. The 10-storey development consists of a five-storey retail podium, a six-storey office block and four basement carpark floors.
The basement retail unit could be utilised for F&B or a fitness or tuition centre. It is conveniently located close to the escalators that serve that floor. The unit was previously marketed by CBRE in April. The selling price was not disclosed, but CBRE referenced past transactions of basement units — ranging from $2,685 psf to $3,573 psf — as a guide price. It remained unsold after the close of expression of interest exercise on May 18.
The ERA sales listing states that the unit was previously used as a KTV lounge but that business has since closed. KTV lounge operators have been especially hard hit by the pandemic. There was also scrutiny over these businesses, whose operations were tightened in July after several venues emerged as Covid-19 infection clusters.
