Located in the heart of lively Joo Chiat, Atlassia offers a unique chance for buyers and investors to have a share of Singapore's modern interpretation of our endearing shophouses.
However, they did mention that the biggest downside of living in a shophouse is the costly maintenance.It's in arguably the most apt location for shophouse lovers – a quaint and bijou development in the heart of Joo Chiat called Atlassia. Like the aforementioned developments, it carefully preserves the shophouse facade with a newly built appending block.
Atlassia offers eight conserved shophouse units that were established in 1935 with the ground floor catered for commercial usage, together with two blocks of five-storey buildings for a more modern layout that we are typically used to. Like many other small developments, you don't have your usual security guard manning the entrance here.
The back lane entrance is entered via Tembeling Road to the service road, where there are two entrances for the different blocks – one in the middle and one all the way to the far right. Similar to the condo 1953, there's a good chance for cultural appreciation for the property with it being in the vicinity of other shophouses. I mean, have you seen the recent transaction volume for Singapore shophouses?
Naturally, this leads me to the limitations of a development like Atlassia. After all, its land size is only 13,996 sq ft with 31 units, inevitably translating to a limited selection of facilities for residents to enjoy. Out of the 17 lots, 10 of them are mechanical which can be a big space saver for a small development like Atlassia. However, I can imagine it being a big hassle to wait for your car to come down when you're in a hurry.
I was surprised though, that there wasn't a hint of any greenery to be found . Personally, I do love to have plants around, and I'm sure that's been a major trend during Covid-19 as well.
Zooming into the site plan for the commercial level, you can see that the front and back entrance is a long walkthrough located between shophouse units 38 and 42, which both entrances would eventually lead to the lift lobby. Car parks and bike parking spaces are facing the service road.
