SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brilliance Capital is pleased to announce the launch of a rare investment opportunity in the heart of Bukit Timah, an exclusive portfolio of 16 ground floor retail and F&B units at Crown Centre, a freehold mixed-use development prominently located at 557 Bukit Timah Road. The sale will be conducted via an Expression of Interest (EOI) exercise which closes on 23 September 2025, Tuesday, at 3.00 pm. The portfolio is offered at a guide price of S$33.8 million.
Comprising approximately 5,942 square feet of strata area and a majority stake in the development, this portfolio will make the successful purchaser the single largest owner in Crown Centre. Such a significant shareholding offers not only substantial rental income but also greater influence over the long-term management, positioning, and strategic direction of the property and development.
The portfolio is fully leased to a diverse and resilient tenant mix spanning F&B, education, and lifestyle sectors. Several units enjoy prominent main road frontage along Bukit Timah Road, one of Singapore's most prominent and high-traffic arterial routes. These frontages deliver exceptional visibility and steady customer flow, which adds as an increasingly rare advantage for retail and F&B operators in this prestigious district.
Crown Centre's freehold tenure is a highly prized asset in Singapore's tightly held property market, particularly in blue-chip residential enclaves. This enduring ownership structure provides long-term investment security and strong capital preservation potential, appealing to both local and foreign investors. The property is not subject to Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) or Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD), offering buyers lower acquisition costs and greater transaction flexibility.
The tenant profile consist a curated mix of popular F&B outlets and enrichment centres providing a stable and defensive income stream. Notable occupiers include Popeyes, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut and Kelly Academy, each contributing to a vibrant and recession-resilient ecosystem of essential services, dining, and education. The result is a highly defensive asset that caters to the needs of the surrounding community and captures a wide and consistent customer base.
Adding to its appeal is a dedicated basement carpark, complete with multiple carparking lots and loading bays, a rarity for Bukit Timah retail properties. This infrastructure greatly enhances accessibility for customers and operational efficiency for tenants, making Crown Centre a highly convenient retail and dining destination.
Its prime District 10 location places it within walking distance of Botanic Gardens MRT (DT9/CC19) and Tan Kah Kee MRT (DT8), with excellent road connectivity via Bukit Timah Road, the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), and the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE). Surrounded by affluent residential estates and prestigious schools such as Nanyang Primary School, Raffles Girls' Primary School, Hwa Chong Institution, and National Junior College, the property benefits from sustained, high-quality foot traffic. Combined with limited competing retail supply in Bukit Timah, this ensures consistent demand and stable occupancy.
The area surrounding Crown Centre is also primed for growth, with the ongoing urban development and infrastructure enhancements set to enhance property values in the Bukit Timah region. Crown Centre is poised to benefit from these major area enhancements, including the upcoming Bukit Timah Turf City redevelopment. Planned as a vibrant and sustainable residential estate, the project will introduce 15,000–20,000 new homes, preserve key heritage landmarks, and integrate green corridors, cycling paths, and community spaces. This transformation will significantly boost the area's population and lifestyle appeal, driving further demand for retail and F&B services, and is expected to remain a prime location for both local and foreign investment.
"This is a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold commercial portfolio with main road visibility, carparking support, full occupancy, and a majority stake in the development, equating to approximately 30.48% of its share value. With a proven tenant mix and solid rental income, Crown Centre offers strong fundamentals for both private and institutional investors looking for yield and capital upside in a trophy location," says Ms Sammi Lim (林妍孜), Founder and Executive Director of Brilliance Capital. "Becoming the single largest owner in Crown Centre offers not just income and growth potential, but also a strategic position of influence in one of Singapore's most desirable neighbourhoods."
Brilliance Capital is the sole marketing agent for this sale. The Expression of Interest closes on 23 September 2025, Tuesday, at 3.00 pm.

16 PRIME FREEHOLD GROUND FLOOR RETAIL & F&B UNITS AT CROWN CENTRE FOR SALE VIA EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
|
PORT MACQUARIE, Australia, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the leading global PV inverter and energy storage system provider, has supported the delivery of a 300kW commercial solar upgrade at Saint Columba Anglican School (SCAS) in Port Macquarie. Delivered in partnership with local installer MNC Solar Power, the project replaced an ageing 100kW system with a high-capacity solar solution designed to reduce electricity costs, improve energy efficiency, and strengthen the school's long-term sustainability commitments.
- Four-Year Payback: Sungrow Delivers Long-Term Solution for SCAS
Schools like SCAS face increasing energy demands and rising electricity costs. As a large educational campus with multiple buildings and high daytime energy demand, SCAS required a scalable and efficient solar solution capable of maximising on-site energy consumption. The upgrade enables the school to significantly offset grid electricity use and achieve long-term operational savings, with an estimated payback period of approximately four years.
"We'll be able to offset the upfront capital costs within around four years. That means ongoing savings for the school, which helps take pressure off our operating expenses and allows us to continue delivering a great education for our students without rising electricity costs," said Steve Mitchell, Business Manager, Saint Columba Anglican School.
- Sungrow Technology Leads with Intelligent, Distance–Free Solar Networking
The newly installed system integrates three Sungrow 110 kW commercial inverters with 708 high–efficiency Canadian Solar 440 W panels.
"While using Modbus as the protocol, the system employs a logger-based wireless casading technology, the inverters will be connected via the school's existing wireless network, enabling intelligent load sharing across multiple buildings without the distance limitations or complexity of traditional cabling." said Young, Technical Service Manager, Sungrow.
This advanced system architecture enables more than 300 kW of solar generation to be dynamically balanced across distribution boards, ensuring optimal energy utilisation, enhanced system flexibility, and significantly reduced reliance on grid power.
- Real-Time Monitoring and Educational Opportunities for Students
Aside from system flexibility, the upgrade also provides SCAS with real–time energy monitoring through the iSolarCloud platform. Steve Mitchell highlights the immediate benefit: "We've now got data at our fingertips. We can log into the dashboard and see how much electricity the panels are generating, what we're consuming, and what's being exported to the grid." The platform serves as a valuable educational tool, giving students and teachers real–world insights into energy generation and consumption.
- A Seamless and Safe Installation Experience
The successful delivery of the project reflects the strong collaboration between Sungrow and MNC Solar Power, a trusted Mid North Coast installer with more than 30 years of industry experience. Sungrow's direct technical support ensured a smooth and safe installation process during the school holiday period, with no disruptions to school operations.
This project demonstrates how Sungrow's leading commercial inverter solutions, combined with strong local partnerships, can deliver reliable and scalable solar systems for complex environments such as educational campuses. By enabling smarter energy management and real-time performance insights, Sungrow continues to support educational institutions and business in accelerating their transition to clean, efficient, and cost-effective energy.
