ELEGANT HERITAGE GEM

8 Stanley Street is a 3.5-storey conserved shophouse featuring an elegantly restored façade with arched French windows, half-length casement windows, and decorative bas-relief panels inscribed with Chinese characters. Constructed with a timber structure and designed with high ceilings, a rectangular layout, and minimal internal columns, the asset offers flexible, open spaces ideal for both commercial and F&B concepts. Its prominent location near the junction of Telok Ayer Street and Stanley Street ensures excellent visibility within a vibrant enclave of dining establishments and financial offices, seamlessly blending heritage charm with modern functionality.

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.
