Conservation Shophouse Office

Renting A Conservation Shophouse Office

Shophouse offices are rather popular and unique in Singapore. In most of these shophouses, the ground floor is usually rented by Food and Beverages (F&B) or retail outlets while the upper floors are used for residences or office rental. Most of these shophouses usually have three floors and some of these also include an attic that is based on a high ceiling mezzanine. This can also double up as a conference room. Since most of these shophouses are given the status of historical conservation, the shophouse façade cannot be altered or demolished without the required permission. This is one of the reasons why these are popular options for office rental Singapore.

In terms of office Singapore, these shophouses are very popular with media, public relations, advertising and architecture firms because of the classical look of these buildings. Again, the rental rate at these locations is much lower when compared to office buildings for corporate firms. In fact, a number of finance companies and boutique hedge funds have also started setting up office at these spots. Many of these companies purchase the entire shophouse and rent out spaces that are not in use. Inner city locations such as Lavender, Bugis, Chinatown, Amoy Street, Tanjong Pagar, City Hall and Raffles Place are best known for these shophouses. These shophouses are usually owned by landlords making it a tad tougher to find these locations when compared to corporate office buildings.
