The space consists of four amalgamated offices. “It offers views of the city and has a rectangular layout, with a general office space, meeting rooms, pantry and separate men and ladies toilets,” says Joy Tan, head of auction at Edmund Tie.
GB Building is located at 143 Cecil Street, at the junction of Cecil Street and McCallum Street. The 26-storey building comprises a three-storey retail podium and a 23-storey office tower with a three-level basement car park that can accommodate 105 vehicles. It is a 99-year leasehold development with effect from 1982.
Nearby MRT stations within a five-minute walk include Telok Ayer MRT Station, Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and the upcoming Shenton Way MRT Station. It is also near eateries such as Amoy Street Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat and Maxwell Food Centre.
“Investors looking for amalgamated commercial units within the CBD, especially larger corporations who prefer to occupy the whole level, will be attracted to the space,” says Tan.
“The next buyer will also be able to get immediate rental income,” she adds. The four amalgamated units are currently being occupied by an architectural firm. The property will be sold with tenancy and on an as-is-where-is basis.
