Analysts said the property presented a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold office building with a Robinson Road address for under S$50 million.
Among the many commercial deals seen transacted recently are six of the nine strata retail units on the second level of Holland Road Shopping Centre - along with an industrial unit at 211 Henderson - offered at a tender conducted by CBRE and which closed last month.

Four adjoining strata office units at The Adelphi, a 999-year leasehold property near City Hall MRT station, are being sold for S$20.7 million or about S$2,365 psf on the total strata area of 8,751 sq ft. The buyer is believed to be the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL). A body established by Statute, SAL is the promotion and development agency for Singapore's legal industry, tasked with the vision of making Singapore the legal hub of Asia.
SAL is currently located in the Supreme Court Building next to The Adelphi. When contacted, the Academy said last Friday that it is looking at the purchase of office space close to the Supreme Court. The move will enable SAL to house its operational units at its own premises instead of paying rent to the Supreme Court.
