Singapore, 22 June 2020 – CBRE has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for the sale of two strata office floors – Level 16 and 23 – at GB Building, which is located at 143 Cecil Street. The sale will be by way of Expression of Interest, which closes on 28 July 2020 at 3pm.
With a strata area of 5,425 sq ft each, the office floors at Level 16 and 23 feature a regular and column-free layout and enjoy excellent views of the city. Level 16 is currently leased to multiple tenants, while Level 23 is to be sold with vacant possession.
Strategically located at the junction of Cecil Street and McCallum Street, GB Building is a 26-storey office development with a three-level basement car park that can accommodate 105 vehicles. It is easily accessible via a fully sheltered walkway from the nearby Tanjong Pagar MRT station.
Clemence Lee (利伟强), Senior Director of Capital Markets at CBRE says, "GB Building sits within one of the city sub-zones which is expected to benefit from the CBD Incentive Scheme announced last year. As older buildings in the area make way for newer mixed-use developments in the journey of rejuvenation, strata property owners of GB Building can expect to enjoy potential capital appreciation in the mid to long term."
To be sold either individually or collectively, Level 16 and 23 of GB Building have indicative prices of S$11.9 million (approximately S$2,200 per sq ft on strata area) and S$12.7 million (approximately $2,350 per sq ft on strata area), respectively.
Mr Lee adds, "Compared to recent strata office transactions, the indicative prices for these two office floors at GB Building are noticeably competitive. We expect strong interest from investors such as boutique real estate funds, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Level 23 can also be the space of choice for owner-occupiers seeking immediate occupation in the CBD." CBRE Press Release
