About Beach Road shophouses
The shophouses off Beach Road stand on what was once the European Town, laid out north of the Singapore River in the early 19th century, when Beach Road really did run along the sea. The streets are conserved as a secondary settlement.
Purvis Street and Liang Seah Street are known for restaurants, bars and late-night dining, drawing customers from the offices of the city centre and the hotels of Beach Road. Shophouses here are a short walk from Bugis and Esplanade MRT.

Buying a shophouse in Beach Road: common questions
Can foreigners buy a shophouse in Beach Road?
Yes, if the shophouse is approved for full commercial use. Shophouses with a residential component are restricted property, and foreign buyers generally need government approval. We check the approved use of every property before you commit.
Is ABSD payable on Beach Road shophouses?
No. Full commercial shophouses carry no Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) and no Seller's Stamp Duty. Buyer's Stamp Duty still applies, and GST may be payable if the seller is GST-registered. If part of the building is residential, ABSD may apply to that part.
What can a Beach Road shophouse be used for?
Restaurants, bars, nightlife and offices. We check the approved use and any licences for every property.
