Ms Sophia Lim, Senior Manager, Investment Sales & Capital Markets at Savills Singapore, said: “In recent years, city fringe locations like Lavender have become popular amongst investors due to their rental upside and potential for capital gains. This is a rare opportunity for both investors and end-users to own a pair of freehold commercial shophouses that come with both F&B approvals and modern specifications (including a lift) in the heart of the Lavender / Kallang precinct. Of particular interest are corner shophouses with high visibility. Consequently, 52 Foch Road will provide the buyer with the flexibility to configure the space to suit an entire spectrum of commercial uses, as all seven units within the Property come equipped with independent air-conditioning units and en-suite toilets.
Subject to approval from relevant authorities, potential alternative uses – including café, educational, showroom, retail, fitness center, healthcare, medical, home & living and lifestyle business – can be explored. ”

In recent years, the location has seen vibrant transformation with high-rise residential and large-scale commercial developments sprouting up, offering a diverse range of entertainment, cultural and lifestyle attractions that bring extremely high footfall and immediate catchment. Prominent landmarks in the vicinity include the recently completed ARC 380, Aperia Mall and CT Hub. The area will continue to benefit from the transformation of the developments in the vicinity, such as the upcoming mixed developments at 2 and 21 Cavan Road and Sturdee Residences.
