City-fringe shophouses around Tiong Bahru, Kampong Bahru Road and Blair Plain — our own home ground.
About Tiong Bahru & Kampong Bahru shophouses
Our office is on Kampong Bahru Road, so this is the area we know best. Kampong Bahru Road and the terraces of Blair Plain, around Blair Road and Spottiswoode Park, are conserved, as is the pre-war Tiong Bahru estate, famous for its Art Deco flats, cafés and bakeries.
Just outside the CBD, the area offers shophouses and conservation terraces at lower prices than Chinatown, with Outram Park and Tiong Bahru MRT nearby. It is popular with offices, cafés and restaurants, and with owners who want to live above their business.
