They were forced to occupy spaces above shophouses despite the run-down condition because of their deficiency in spending power. It is expensive to rent, let alone own a space in that area for small business owners as the options they have are all large floor plates that pose to be unnecessary and costly.

Spillover activities to 5 foot way Transitional corridor continuous path
In the past, the five foot way has became a public space where vibrant activities happens along the stretch. The reason behind it is that, five foot way extends and connects the adjacent lot under the same roof, where people naturally uses the space for different activities, maximizing the engagement with the community.

Offices with high privaccy level dictates a boundary for the movement of the workers. As workers have a limited time break hours, the offices that occupy the spaces above shophouse have turned the five foot way into a transition corridor.
