CBRE has announced the sale of a rare 3-storey freehold commercial building located at 13 Mosque Street in Singapore’s Chinatown Heritage District. The sale will be conducted through an Expression of Interest exercise, closing on 20 August 2025 at 3pm. This property offers a prestigious District 1 address and is strategically positioned in a high-traffic area, making it a prime opportunity for investors.
The building, which spans approximately 3,083 square feet on a 1,315 square foot plot, will be sold with vacant possession, allowing buyers immediate flexibility to occupy or reposition the asset. Clemence Lee, Executive Director of Capital Markets at CBRE, highlighted the property’s appeal, stating, “13 Mosque Street presents a unique opportunity to acquire a prime commercial asset within a highly sought-after district.”
The property’s location in Chinatown, a key attraction for both locals and tourists, ensures strong foot traffic, a trend bolstered by the recovery of the tourism sector. The Singapore Tourism Board reported a 21% increase in visitor arrivals in 2024, with further growth expected in 2025.
Potential buyers, including owner-occupiers, boutique real estate funds, and high-net-worth individuals, can explore various value-enhancement strategies. The ground floor could be converted for F&B use, whilst the upper floors might be reconfigured for co-living or hostel accommodations, subject to approval.
The property’s accessibility is enhanced by its proximity to the Chinatown MRT Interchange and major roads, making it an attractive investment in Singapore’s Central Business District.
