Facility Management (QSB 2443)

Shop Office
Ground floor - MEDIVERON CLINIC,

1st floor - Adinda Boutiques

2nd Floor - Pejabat Tapak JKR 

The term shop office is used to refer to a building of virtually the same design as a shophouse, but is occupied in full for commercial use on both the ground floor and floors above. The style of building was common in major urban centers closer to commercial districts, and is often utillised for larger businesses, where large-scale operations needed a large amount of space. A shopoffice may also adopt dual commercial-residential use, so long as the building has necessary amenities (i.e. proper plumbing).
