ICONIC TRIO

The trio of 3 to 3.5-storey conserved shophouses at 15, 16, and 17 Stanley Street form one of the rare contiguous blocks within the area. Featuring symmetrical façades and an extended frontage, the properties create a strong streetscape presence and offer flexibility for either single or multiple tenancies. Each shophouse is constructed with a timber structure and features high ceilings, a rectangular layout, full-length French windows, half-length casement windows, decorative bas-relief panels, and Chinese-inscribed plaques on the façade. With minimal internal columns, the interiors offer exceptional versatility, making these assets highly sought after within the conservation area. Strategically located closer to the Telok Ayer MRT, the assets benefit from high foot traffic and are ideal for premium F&B, retail, or mixed-use commercial operations.

Stanley Street is a historic thoroughfare that captures Singapore’s unique blend of heritage and modernity, where conserved shophouses stand gracefully amidst the city’s towering financial skyscrapers. Built on reclaimed land from Telok Ayer Bay in the 1880s, the street showcases elegant early 20th-century architecture with distinctive French windows, fanlights, and Chinese-style roof canopies. Once known in Hokkien as “Ma cho kiong hi tai au” (behind the Mazu Temple opera stage) for its proximity to Thian Hock Keng Temple, Stanley Street continues to reflect Singapore’s rich cultural and architectural heritage. Believed to be named after Captain Stanley, who led an anti-piracy campaign in 1836, it has retained its timeless charm through meticulously conserved façades that bridge the city’s historic past with its modern identity.
