    THE going may be slow for some segments of the commercial property market that typically rely on institutional investors, in the face of high interest rates.

    However, the shophouse market continues to draw buyers in the private wealth segment, be they local or overseas.

    A four-storey corner conservation shophouse at 11 New Bridge Road – where the popular Song Fa Bak Kut Teh outlet occupies the entire ground floor – is being sold for S$23.8 million.
