About Shophouse at 3,5,7 Trengganu Street
Own or Lease a Landmark Address in the Heart of Chinatown
Located along the vibrant Trengganu Street in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown, 3, 5 and 7 Trengganu Street present a rare opportunity to acquire or lease a collection of three adjoining conserved commercial shophouses. Positioned within one of Singapore’s most recognisable heritage districts, these properties combine timeless architectural character with excellent accessibility, making them suited for businesses seeking a prestigious city address.
This collection of shophouses is available for both sale and lease, offering flexibility for owner-occupiers, investors and businesses looking to establish themselves in a highly visible and culturally significant location.
Conserved Heritage Shophouses with Commercial Zoning
These beautifully conserved shophouses retain the distinctive architectural features synonymous with Singapore’s historic Chinatown, including traditional façades, timber windows and heritage detailing that contribute to the unique streetscape of Trengganu Street.
While the buildings preserve their historical charm, they are well-positioned to support modern commercial operations within a heritage environment that attracts both local visitors and international tourists throughout the year.
Approved Retail Shops on the Ground Floor
The ground floor of each shophouse is approved for retail shop use, providing excellent street frontage along one of Chinatown’s busiest pedestrian thoroughfares. The continuous foot traffic generated by tourists, office workers and local residents makes these retail spaces ideal for a wide variety of businesses, including speciality retail, lifestyle concepts, galleries, boutiques, wellness operators and destination brands seeking a high-profile presence.
The character of the conserved shophouses also creates an attractive environment for businesses looking to differentiate themselves from conventional shopping mall locations.
Upper Floors Approved for Office Use
The upper storeys are currently approved for office use, offering occupiers a distinctive workplace within a heritage setting. Unlike conventional office buildings, these spaces feature unique layouts, generous ceiling heights in selected units and architectural elements that create a memorable working environment for creative firms, professional practices, boutique consultancies, design studios and family offices.
Being located above active retail spaces allows businesses to enjoy the convenience of operating within one of Singapore’s most vibrant commercial precincts while maintaining a separate office environment.
Potential for Change of Use
One of the key attractions of these properties is the potential flexibility of the upper-floor office spaces. Subject to approval from the relevant authorities, the existing office use may be eligible for a change of use, allowing future owners or tenants to explore alternative commercial concepts that best suit their operational requirements.
This potential adaptability enhances the long-term value of the properties by allowing businesses to respond to changing market demands while preserving the heritage significance of the buildings.
Excellent Connectivity in Chinatown
Situated just a short walk from Chinatown MRT Interchange, the properties enjoy excellent connectivity via the North East Line and Downtown Line. The surrounding area is well served by numerous bus routes and provides convenient access to the Central Business District, Marina Bay, Clarke Quay and Orchard Road.
Occupiers will also benefit from the abundance of nearby restaurants, cafés, hotels, cultural attractions and lifestyle amenities that make Chinatown one of Singapore’s most dynamic commercial destinations.
Suitable for Investors and Owner-Occupiers
Whether purchased as a long-term investment or occupied by an end user, 3, 5 and 7 Trengganu Street represent a rare opportunity to secure commercial heritage assets in one of Singapore’s most tightly held conservation precincts.
Investors can benefit from the enduring appeal of conserved shophouses and the strong demand for distinctive commercial spaces in the city centre, while businesses can establish themselves within a prestigious heritage address that offers both character and convenience.
