CBRE announced on March 18 that eight HDB shophouse units in Bras Basah, Geylang and Kallang are up for sale. They are being offered individually or as a collective purchase, with a guide price of $19.5 million.

Three adjacent two-storey shophouse units are on 119 Aljunied Avenue 2 in Geylang. With a total strata area of 4,897 sq ft, the units have a prominent main road frontage along the Geylang East Central main road.

The shophouse's ground and upper floors occupy approximately 2,174 sq ft and 2,723 sq ft, respectively. The ground-floor unit is leased to a dental clinic and an ATM auto lobby.

The remaining three shophouses are at 803 King George’s Avenue in Kallang. They consist of two adjacent ground-floor units and a unit on the second storey.
