Fully Restored And Fully Renovated Heritage Shophouse On Victoria Street For Sale And Also For Rent

Straits Eclectic Heritage Shophouse @ Victoria Street, George Town

A 2045 sqft land area intermediate corner heritage shophouse located within the UNESCO Heritage Core Zone is now available for sale and rent. This property comes with the added advantage of side land, a rare feature for such units, and includes one toilet on the ground floor.

The building is a well-restored Straits Eclectic shophouse dating back to the 1910s–1930s, retaining its classic ornamental façade that offers strong street presence and identity. Internally, the space adopts a practical industrial-meets-heritage approach, where original elements such as fair-faced brick walls, exposed timber beams, and arched openings are preserved and highlighted. These features not only reflect the building’s historical character but also enhance natural ventilation, lighting, and spatial depth. The flooring is complemented by Peranakan-style tiles, while the traditional internal courtyard (airwell) continues to function as a central source of daylight and airflow.

Modern interventions are kept minimal and thoughtfully executed, ensuring the building remains functional without compromising its original structure and charm. The overall condition makes it suitable for immediate use.

Given its location within the prime heritage core zone and its intermediate corner positioning with side land, the property offers strong frontage and visibility. It is well suited for boutique retail, gallery use, Airbnb or heritage accommodation, as well as a creative office or brand showroom. This is a practical opportunity for those seeking a character property with commercial potential in one of Penang’s most established heritage areas.
