A retail shop at Golden Mile Tower is up on the auction block at ETC’s upcoming property auction on Nov 26. The property, comprising two strata retail units, has a guide price of $8 million. This works out to around $2,142 psf on its combined strata area of 3,735 sq ft.

Offered as an owner’s sale, this is the first time the property is being auctioned, says Robert Foo, associate director of auction and sales at ETC. The property will be sold with tenancy and is currently occupied by a karaoke lounge, which has recently extended its lease.

Foo highlights that the property, situated on the first floor of Golden Mile Tower, benefits from prominent visibility, especially to users of the multi-storey carpark. He says the property should attract keen interest due to the rarity of strata units of this size. “We expect prospective buyers to include investors seeking steady rental returns and end-users looking to operate a karaoke lounge,” he adds.

Golden Mile Tower is a strata-titled mixed-use development along Beach Road in District 7. The 99-year leasehold development is a short walk from Nicoll Highway MRT Station on the Circle Line. It sits amid a cluster of residential and commercial developments, including The Golden Mile (formerly known as Golden Mile Complex), next door, which was gazetted for conservation in 2021 and is currently undergoing restoration and upgrading works.

Jointly developed by Perennial Holdings and Far East Organization, The Golden Mile is the commercial component of the larger Golden Mile Singapore mixed-use development, which includes the 188-unit residential tower Aurea. The commercial units were launched last December, while Aurea launched in March.
