Singapore shophouses lit up at night

Everton Estate · Conservation shophouses

Heritage Luxe

Singapore's conservation shophouses are a finite collection. We help owners and investors buy, sell and lease them — discreetly.

Why shophouses

An asset with a story — and a supply that cannot grow.

Conservation rules protect the facades, and no new shophouses can be built. Many carry freehold or 999-year tenure. Full commercial shophouses carry no Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) or Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD), and foreigners are eligible to buy them.

Our founder, Jesmond Lee, was active in this market years before it drew international attention. Today we represent shophouses across the city's best-known conservation areas — including the Kampong Bahru stretch around our own office.

The Heritage Luxe service

From first viewing to handover

01

Acquisition

Access to off-market shophouses through owners we have known for years, with a clear view of tenure, zoning and the income each unit earns.

02

Disposal

A quiet, curated sale to a shortlist of qualified buyers — family offices, funds and private investors — rather than a public listing.

03

Leasing

Placing F&B, retail and office tenants whose use suits the building's approved use and conservation guidelines.

04

Market analysis

Pricing based on recent comparable sales and rents on the same street, so you know what your shophouse is really worth.

“I believe in prioritising the interests of my clients over profits. When you give genuine value to the world, it finds a way to deliver it back.”
Jesmond Lee · Founder & Managing Director
