Golden Wall Flatted Factory is an 8 storey industrial building situated off the Balestier Road. From the look of it, the building is in need for a fresh layer of paint coat. Most of the factories in Balestier are pretty run down and lack of maintenance. This is one of the potential problems that en-bloc or collective sales could bring. With URA’s plan on re-zoning of industial plots to residential zoning, I believe many owners of the industrial buildings in Balestier are looking into  getting the new right owner with the right pricing. Who would like to sink in further money in proper maintenance or building face lifting since the buildings could be disposed in any time?

 Therefore before these industrial buildings in Balestier are torn down, I quickly took up my camera to keep a picture of them. If you are adventurous enough, you are able to get quite a good bargain patronizing some of the warehouse shops located in the industrial buildings. Take for Golden Wall Flatted Factory at Jalan Rajah, you are able to shop at this “one-stop cosmetics specialty store” provides skincare, fragrance, make-up, hair care at the Bonjour warehouse outlet at #04-18/20, at a very attractive prices. If you are going for stationary, why not pay a visit to Stationary Centre at #01-08 which you are able to get your favourite stationary at a good price?
