LEE Rubber Company is selling a stand-alone block of 11 adjoining conservation shophouses in Lavender Street for nearly S$55.56 million.

A fully-owned unit of Lee Rubber that owns the freehold interest in the property will carve out a 99-year leasehold interest for the buyer, Broadway Textile. Broadway is located at Textile Centre along Jalan Sultan nearby and is understood to have a part occupation/part investment strategy for its Lavender Street purchase. The company's management could not be reached for comment on Friday.
