The ground floor is used for the business such auto workshop and others, and for the upper floors is used for the office purposes. Shop-offices development was favorites by the office occupiers for last few years. It can be seen that the consultant office choose to be located in residential areas since last few years. The reason why they choose to rent for shop-offices in the residential as their work place is because of the rental price is much cheaper to compare to the purposed built office building.
