CLASSIC URBAN CHARM

30 Stanley Street is a 2.5-storey conserved shophouse that stands out with its traditional façade detailing, high ceilings, and rectangular layout. Constructed with a timber structure, the property features full-length French windows that flood the interiors with natural light. With minimal internal columns, the space offers exceptional versatility to accommodate a wide range of commercial tenants. Its open and efficient design, rare among conservation shophouses, makes it ideal for modern commercial or F&B uses. Rich in heritage, the asset contributes to the conservation area’s distinctive blend of old-world charm and contemporary vibrancy.

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.
