This vibrant neighborhood is further enriched by upscale hotels like The Fullerton Hotel, The Westin Singapore, and the Ascott Raffles Place.

The unit on the high floor offers scenic views of the cityscape, providing an inspiring environment for businesses to thrive. The office space features a column-free, regular layout designed to maximize efficiency and functionality.

The Adelphi:

Brilliance Capital is also pleased to offer two adjoining commercial strata office units on the top floor of The Adelphi. Situated at the corner of North Bridge Road and Coleman Street, this mixed-use development enjoys a prime location between Singapore’s Central Business District, Orchard Shopping Belt, and Bugis.

The Adelphi is an iconic 10-storey mixed-use development comprising a five-storey retail podium with a six-storey office block. It is located in the heart of the Civic District and within the Business and Financial Centre of Singapore, as well as the burgeoning Arts, Cultural, and Rejuvenated District.

The advantageous location of The Adelphi places it in proximity to several prominent shopping and recreation destinations. Funan, Raffles City, CHIJMES, Singapore Cricket Club, and Singapore Recreation Club contribute to a vibrant and lively neighborhood. This is further enriched by the presence of educational institutions and upscale hotels such as Singapore Management University (SMU), Kempinski Hotel, Swissotel The Stamford, and Fairmont Hotel.

Enjoying the benefits of a prime location in a bustling commercial district, The Adelphi offers a dynamic blend of commercial, cultural, and hospitality offerings, ensuring high visibility and footfall for businesses within the retail quadrant, easily accessible to both locals and tourists.

The City Hall area, where The Adelphi is located, holds significant historical importance and is a vibrant district for finance, accounting, and legal professionals.

They feature ample natural light, expansive views of St Andrew’s Cathedral and North Bridge Road, a reception area, open office space, partitioned offices, conference rooms, a pantry area, discussion areas and storage space. The combined guide price for these units is S$14.4 million, translating to approximately S$2,950 psf. These units are available for sale individually or collectively.

Ms. Sammi Lim, Founder and Executive Director of Brilliance Capital Pte Ltd, commented, “Samsung Hub has always been an extremely sought-after office asset where demand exceeds supply. The ownership and tenant profiles are unparalleled, making it the ideal choice for businesses seeking a prestigious address with strong neighbours. We have also witnessed significant capital appreciation of sale prices over the past 10 years, and this is expected to continue for a scarce commodity that offers a 999-year tenure, which is akin to freehold. This property represents an exceptional opportunity for companies looking to establish or expand their presence in Singapore’s most dynamic commercial hub.”

Ms. Lim further added, “The offering of two adjoining corner units at The Adelphi is particularly compelling in today’s market. Also featuring a 999-year tenure and a strategic location, these units benefit from superb public transportation links. We anticipate strong interest from both investors and owner-occupiers. This is an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers to acquire an ideally sized office asset in a highly sought-after location.”

This presents an enticing investment opportunity for forward-thinking investors. The individual strata titles at The Adelphi offer flexibility for buyers to sell on a piecemeal basis or lease to multiple tenants. In the medium to long term, there may also be potential for a collective sale exit. We expect keen interest from owner-occupiers, discerning small businesses, private wealth entities, and family offices focused on long-term wealth preservation. The pricing is attractive given the location and 999-year tenure, especially considering the tight supply conditions in the commercial strata office CBD market. Real estate continues to be a reliable hedge against inflation, drawing buyers from both local and overseas wealth markets.

With the limited availability of quality freehold and 999-year office properties, along with the convenient accessibility offered by both The Adelphi and Samsung Hub, we foresee robust potential for capital and rental appreciation. Wealthy individuals, family offices, and corporate investors remain actively engaged in acquiring strata commercial floors. Last year, TE Capital Partners and LaSalle Investment Management achieved record-breaking prices with their sold-out project at Solitaire on Cecil, and PGIM Real Estate recently sold two office floors at 108 Robinson Road.”

As a commercial property, both local and foreign buyers are eligible to purchase with no additional buyers’ stamp duty (ABSD) or sellers’ stamp duty (SSD) payable.

Brilliance Capital is the sole marketing agent for this sale.
