A newly constructed 15-room loft hotel at 739-1 Geylang Road in District 14 is now on the market for $14 million. Located on a freehold plot of land measuring 1,273 square feet, this two-storey property boasts an approved gross floor area (GFA) of up to 3,186 square feet.
What makes this hotel even more attractive is its rare permanent ‘Hotel’ zoning and usage approval, making it a sought-after designation for conservation shophouses being converted for usage in Singapore. This status adds to the long-term investment appeal and operational flexibility of the property. Additionally, its prime location, just a 5-minute walk from the Paya Lebar MRT station, offers excellent connectivity. The Paya Lebar MRT station services both the East-West and Circle lines, providing guests with easy access to various parts of Singapore.
Designed with a sophisticated Japandi theme, the hotel is currently under construction and is scheduled to receive its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in the second quarter of 2025. The sale price includes all construction and renovation costs, making it a turnkey investment opportunity for those interested in entering or expanding their presence in the hospitality sector.
For investors, this property presents an attractive proposition. The current owner, an experienced hotel operator, is open to a sale and leaseback arrangement. This provides an opportunity for immediate rental income and operational continuity. Eva Lau, Senior Marketing Director of ERA Realty Network Pte. Ltd., believes that this hotel will appeal to owner-operators, as they will benefit from major renovations that will allow for a quick and seamless commencement of operations.
The demand for hospitality assets in Singapore has been steadily increasing over the past year, with notable transactions including LHN Group’s purchase of Pasir Panjang Inn, a 16,626 square foot site, for $30 million. Last year, an 8-storey hotel at 12 Lorong 12 Geylang was listed for sale at $120 million, and Hotel JJH, a 25-room property at 747 North Bridge Road, is now on the market for $38 million. These transactions highlight the strong appetite for well-located, high-quality hospitality assets, which are considered highly desirable in the commercial shophouse usage class in Singapore.
Investing in a condo has its perks, one of which is the potential to leverage its value for future investments. With the use of their condo as collateral, many investors are able to secure additional financing for new ventures, effectively expanding their real estate portfolio. This approach has the potential to greatly increase returns, but it also carries risks. As such, it is essential to have a solid financial plan in place and carefully consider the potential effects of market fluctuations. In fact, with the ever-growing Singapore Projects, condo investments have become even more appealing and have opened up new opportunities for savvy real estate investors.
