That\u2019s like the places on this list: they\u2019re kind of old and run-down, but you\u2019ll be amazed to know how much they\u2019re really worth.<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Peace Mansion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peace-Mansion.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4960 noopener\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peace-Mansion.jpg\" alt=\"Peace Mansion\" width=\"501\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peace-Mansion.jpg 501w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Peace-Mansion-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peace Mansion is located along Sophia Road, and is within striking distance of town, Little India, and a wide range of sexually transmitted diseases. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By that I mean the apartments are attached to Peace Centre, which houses a range of seedy KTVs. Walk around at night, and you\u2019ll see the downstairs food court is filled with hostesses, or patrons glowering at you from the top of a beer bottle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A former resident of Peace Mansion, who wanted to remain anonymous, told me conflicts with the management are common. Just a few years ago, residents banded together to vote out the management because of maintenance issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resident cited leaks, musty smells, and cleanliness issues. In fact, he left before it was resolved, because he found conditions at a Hotel 81 more comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But to be fair, I think Peace Mansion is in admirable condition, considering it was built, oh,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> five years before the Vietnam War ended. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its 99-year lease began on 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> June 1970, so give the place a break.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Hidden value:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,125 per square foot, with a total value of about $680 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peace Mansion has gone up for an en-bloc sale three times, with no success. Why? Because of location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peace Mansion sits at the junction of Selegie Road and Sophia Road. That puts it within walking range of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">six <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRT stations: Dhoby Ghaut, Little India, Bras Basah, Bugis, and the soon to come Bencoolen, and Rochor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also next to the malls Parklane, PoMo, and Wilkie Edge, and about five minutes from Sim Lim Square. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And we wonder why residents keep a death grip on the place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Chee Guan Chiang House<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CGC11.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4847 noopener\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CGC11.jpg\" alt=\"CGC11\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CGC11.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CGC11-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CGC11-380x284.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This house looks like a mid-air collision between five UFOs, which crashed into a clearing and never got untangled. It was designed by architect Ho Kwong Yew, who was cutting edge for his day. Sadly, the next cutting edge he met was probably a Japanese officer\u2019s sword; he was killed during the Occupation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the late Mr. Ho\u2019s design was influenced by buildings like the Da La Warr Pavilion in the UK, which makes it pretty visionary for its time. This mansion was one of Singapore\u2019s most daring residential buildings in its day, and it still looks better than buildings like Ion (which is apparently influenced by the structure of a large genital wart.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The building is closed off now, and in 2008 was rightfully added to the list for conservation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Hidden value:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most valuable residential properties in Singapore. Not only is it on prime location along Grange Road, it\u2019s 100,000 square feet. That gives it an estimated value of over $400 million. It\u2019s currently owned by Lee Tat Developments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. The Verge<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Verge.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4961 noopener\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Verge.jpg\" alt=\"The Verge\" width=\"798\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Verge.jpg 798w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Verge-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Verge-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/The-Verge-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes me cry. The Verge used to be Tekka Mall, a bustling hub in Little India which most of us loved growing up. Then it became the monstrosity called The Verge, and is now a giant black hole into which all life and energy disappears. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used to think they called it The Verge because it looks perpetually on the verge of vacancy. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to the inner workings of this mall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most malls have a particular theme, or an anchor tenant. Just like how Wheelock once had Borders, and The Heeren once had HMV (notice how they flopped about after the anchor tenant left.) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well The Verge lacks that \u2013 unless you count the one big family KTV it has &#8211; and so lacks the same vibrancy that once came out of Tekka mall (no offence to the individual shops there, which are just fine. It\u2019s just that the combination of shops is disparate.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But while The Verge has never quite recaptured the aura of Tekka, its location is not to be questioned. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Hidden value:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire property has been sold for $317 million, to Mr. Keith Tang, Chairman of Heritage Group. The plan is to redevelop it into serviced apartments, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">somebody got a steal here<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Verge has a prime location in Little India (with the related train station), and is included in the downtown core planning region. That will expose it to a ton of demand from affluent expatriates and tourists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of the resulting development is expected to be around $1,920 per square foot per plot ration, for a total of around $480 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Karikal Mahal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/KM.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4962 noopener\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4962\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/KM.jpg\" alt=\"KM\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/KM.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/KM-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/KM-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A personal favourite of many East Coast Singaporeans \u2013 many of us have passed this dumpy looking old building many times, on the way to malls like Parkway Parade. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The older generation may remember that the Karikal Mahal used to be a lot bigger, before the government built a road right through the mansion and split it in two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a gated, two storey blue and white mansion that dates back to 1917. Among the children of Marine Parade, it was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neighbourhood haunted house. At least when I was a kid, which is around the time the T-Rex ruled, so things may be different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This place was built by a businessman named Moona Kadir Sultan, as a set of four separate houses behind a gated wall. It was noted for a large artificial lake, of which there are no photographs now (just the recount of Pioneer Generation Singaporeans.) Before the land reclamation activities, Karikal Mahal was also a seaside residence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was bought by the Lee Rubber company after World War II, and converted into a hotel. And you would think if you bought a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">palace <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you would make it a high end hotel, but for some reason they made it a budget hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This mansion cost half a million to build in 1917 by the way, and today that\u2019s worth\u2026I don\u2019t even know how much, but you\u2019d probably need a crane to lift that value in $100 denominations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So turning it into a budget hotel was kind of like buying Buckingham Palace, and turning it into a KFC. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, the hotel flopped. So today it\u2019s a warehouse, and a sad reminder that rubber companies should stick to trees and not tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Hidden value:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its along Still Road, and a short hop from Parkway Parade and the Eunos MRT. It is also close to Joo Chiat, which has become the hipster cafe central of the East Coast. People would kill to live here, which again, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confuses me as to how this failed as a hotel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">literally minutes away from the successful Mercure hotel. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So for now, Karikal Mahal may be Singapore\u2019s most valuable warehouse, at an estimated value of $300 million. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First it gets turned into a budget hotel, and now it has a value of $300 million but just sits there as a warehouse. Maybe Mr. Keith Tang ought to buy this one too.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks can be deceiving.
