    A PORTFOLIO of conservation shophouses along Mosque Street, Pagoda Street and Craig Road, owned by home-grown ACT Holdings, is being sold to SilkRoad Property Partners, The Business Times understands.

    The deal is being executed through the sale of shares in ACT’s fully-owned subsidiary, Empire Lofts, which holds the shophouses. The pricing of the shophouse portfolio is being kept under wraps, though some market observers estimate this at about S$110 million to S$115 million, making it one of the largest conservation shophouse deals here.

    The shophouses are on sites with 99-year leasehold tenures, with balance leases of between 66 years and 79 years.
