Some would say that units in the higher floors are the best, while some have no preference for property investment so long as it has good rental yield and high capital gain appreciation. Yes, I do agree that these are important considerations, and at the same time, if you are also able to qualify your unit(s) with good Feng Shui, would it be a better option?

Which Floor is best for your Business?

Do you know that in Feng Shui context, different trades or business can be more suitable in specific floor levels? For Example, a travel agency is best suitable to be located in Floor levels ending with 1 and 6. Hence, it this trade is best to have their offices located in the 1^st, 6^th, 11^th, 16^th storey, etc. Another example will be Café and Restaurant, besides having their shops in the Ground floor, it is also preferred to have them in the 2^nd storey, as it is related to the fire element.

How to Transform an Office conforming to Feng Shui principle?
Example 1

With reference to Xuan Kong Period 8 Flying Star (玄空飞星) principle, for a SE facing property, it is best to have the main door or main entrance of the shop to be in the Northwest or West sector to tap into the current auspicious Qi or life energy. Another good sector to have your Main Door is the Southwest sector. This sector is generally more favorable to entrepreneurs and business owners, as it fosters stronger opportunities for business growth. If the Main Door is not possible to be located here, at least have your cashier counter or placement of water; like an aquarium in this Southwest sector to activate this sector.

The following illustration shows that the Unit A and Unit C are better units than Unit B, as the Main Door is opened in the West sector, tapping to the prosperous Qi – it is the Star 9 (九紫星), an auspicious star which fosters happy events and new happenings. It is the secondary wealth star in the current period till 2023, and also the Wealth star from 2024 to 2043. Hence, in the Long-term basis, opening the Main Door in this sector will enjoy Feng Shui for the next 30 years till 2043.

Unit A and Unit C are assessed as good Feng Shui properties,
while Unit B is not up to the mark.

If you owned Unit B, then it is not the end of the world or a “bad buy”, as this can be easily rectified to be a good unit as the Unit A and Unit C. In fact, Unit B could be a better unit then Unit A, if the unit is properly fixed with Feng Shui principle by simply seals the current door and reopens the new Main Door of Unit B on the same side but leaning towards Unit C.

Although Unit B is initial assess as bad Feng Shui, but in fact it could be a
better unit than Unit A after it is properly fixed with Feng Shui principle.

Example 2

The following illustration shows 4 Office units. Their Main Doors (circled in Green), as usually the Chinese put it, is the mouth to your property. What goes into the mouth or rather the Qi entering into your property has a significant effect on your health and well-being. A good Main Door plays an important factor in deciding whether the Office Unit enjoys good Feng Shui. Hence, with reference to the Main Door, are you able to ascertain which is the better unit?

It is rather obvious that Office A is a better unit among the Office Units as its Main Door is in the West sector. Based on the Xuan Kong Flying Star (玄空飞星) Chart, this can be qualified as a good Main Door, and hence Office A could enjoy better Feng Shui. Although the rest of the 3 Office Units may seem not reaching the mark, but again with a simple remedial correction at their Main Door areas, these units could also be enjoying good Feng Shui too.

Initial assessment shows that Office A is a better choice,
but with a simple remedial correction to the Main Door,
the rest of the Office units could also conform to good Feng Shui.
This is an Office Floorplan of Oxley Tower.

Implementing Feng Shui to a Commercial property is no different comparing to the Residential counterparts. You don’t need to place items or figurines, like lions, dragons, or pi-xiu, etc. Imagine if there are 2 properties for sales, one is tagged with good Feng Shui and the other not, which one would arouse a better interest and a price to offer? Hence, whether for Business Growth, Higher Rental yield or Capital Gain appreciation, it is always good to consider implementing Feng Shui principle in selecting Commercial and Residential properties.

Something to Think About….

With the Qi Mouth as well as the Main Water Mouth – Marina Waterfront in the Northeast, office space and shops located in a specific sector of the building can be qualified to be better units as they have better affinity with the external environment. Therefore, should these units are also conform to the above-mentioned Xuan Kong Flying Star principle (玄空飞星), and further coupled with the right floor level for your business trade, then this will be your choice units, the perfect match!
