SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - A strata commercial space at a four-storey building located at 260 Jalan Besar is up for sale at an indicative price of $22 million. The space measures 4,876 sq ft, which equals $4,511 psf. It comprises the ground and second floors of the building.

Jac Teo, associate senior division director at Knight Frank Property Network, says the owner is currently using the ground floor space as a showroom for their office equipment business, while the second floor houses office space and a meeting room.

The building at 260 Jalan Besar sits on a land area of 5,478 sq ft, with a total build-up area of around 17,243 sq ft. Teo adds that the third and fourth floors, which different owners hold, are currently being used as residential units. The location of the property at the intersection of Jalan Besar and Plumer Road gives the ground floor space a wide, 30m frontage.

He adds that the ground floor space has received in-principle approval for F&B usage. The space on the second floor, which measures 1,819 sq ft, is connected to the ground floor unit via an internal staircase. “There is a good chance that the operator could apply to use the level 2 area as private dining rooms.”

Teo says the future owner could also use the property for commercial purposes, such as a showroom, or as retail or office premises. He anticipates the property to see keen interest from different buyers, including family offices seeking an investment property that can provide stable rental yields or F&B operators looking for a property with a prominent frontage.
