Based on Knight Frank, Raffles Education Square could be developed in conjunction with The Riverside Piazza which is which is a mixed-use strata commercial as well as residential development on 11, Keng Cheow Street. The agency claims that owners of Riverside Piazza are obtaining the necessary 80% approval for an auction.

“Quality commercial properties are difficult to find since many are held by institutions players and not offered to be sold. Private wealth is also looking for commercial assets because the asset class is unaffected by the recent implementation of cooling measures by the government.”

The auction for the sale of Raffles Education Square will end on August 1.
