Joo Chiat & Katong · District 15Joo Chiat & Katong shophouses for sale & rent
Ornate Peranakan shophouses on Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road — many of them freehold.
About Joo Chiat & Katong shophouses
Joo Chiat and Katong are known for their Peranakan heritage: shophouses with colourful tiles, carved facades and five-foot ways, alongside famous local food. The area is conserved as a secondary settlement, so many owners may add a new rear extension.
Much of Joo Chiat is freehold, which is rare for shophouses so close to the city. The new Thomson–East Coast Line stations at Marine Parade and Tanjong Katong have brought the area even closer to town.
