Fresh transformation: Old Shanghai in Fremantle to reopen after new leaseholder announced
The announcement came from Ray White Commercial's Victor Aloi, who said the eclectic mix of eateries that once filled the heritage listed Piercy Building will be back with 'fresh flavours, modern design, and a renewed focus on community engagement.'
'I am thrilled to see this iconic location leased once again,' Mr Aloi said.
'There's a strong sense of nostalgia attached to this site, but also a lot of excitement about what's next.
'The new tenants bring with them a vision that aligns beautifully with Fremantle's creative, diverse, and inclusive spirit.'
A more detailed plan of the dining offerings will be released in the coming months by the new operators, but it is expected to bring a bustling energy and community feel that is befitting to the Fremantle lifestyle.
The dining destination sits in the central hub of Fremantle, with the Cappuccino Strip and esteemed Fremantle Markets just metres away.
Locals were shocked and saddened by the sudden closure of Old Shanghai in May of 2023.
The devastating news was confirmed at the time by Taka's Kitchen on Facebook.
'The entire Old Shanghai building food court Fremantle (Taka's kitchen, Siam's Kitchen and Chinese BBQ Palace) is temporarily closed until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience,' the statement said.
Piercy Building was originally built in 1897 and became a popular dining spot known for its ample selection of Asian culinary delights.
Works on the much-loved food hub will start immediately with an expected open date later in the year.
It looks as though Old Shanghai is not just returning to its former glory but will attract a whole new legion of fans.

Trump says he has struck a trade deal with Indonesia
US President Donald Trump says he has struck a trade deal with Indonesia. "Great deal, for everybody, just made with Indonesia. I dealt directly with their highly respected President. DETAILS TO FOLLOW!!!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Trump had threatened the southeast Asian country with a 32 per cent tariff rate effective August 1 in a letter sent to its president last week. Trump sent similar letters to about two dozen trading partners this month, including Canada, Japan and Brazil, setting blanket tariff rates ranging from 20 per cent up to 50 per cent as well as a 50 per cent tariff on copper. The August 1 deadline gives the targeted countries time to negotiate agreements that could lower the threatened tariffs. Some investors and economists have also noted Trump's pattern of backing off his tariff threats. Since launching his tariff policy, Trump has reached trade agreements with three other countries: China, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Asian shares rise, dollar firms ahead of US earnings
Asian shares have climbed and the dollar held gains as trade talks remained in the spotlight in a week that will see key readings on US inflation and bank earnings. Oil prices edged lower after US President Donald Trump issued a 50-day deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine to avoid energy sanctions. Japanese government bonds yields jumped to multi-decade high as a critical upper house election neared. Trump signalled he was open to discussions on tariffs after his weekend threat to impose 30 per cent duties on the European Union and Mexico from August 1. Japan is reportedly trying to schedule high-level talks with the US this Friday. Market reaction to the tariff uncertainty has been rather benign, making earnings in the United States this week all the more important for cues, National Australia Bank strategist Rodrigo Catril said. "It'll be interesting to see what companies are saying, in particular in terms of the forward-looking outlook, in terms of where they see the next quarter, how they see their margins, are they going to get squeezed, or are they planning to pass it on," Catril said in a NAB podcast. "I think that this idea of complacency is also because we're not quite sure how this whole thing is going to play out," he added. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.4 per cent after US stocks ended the previous session with meagre gains. Japan's Nikkei index added 0.2 per cent. The EU accused the US of resisting efforts to strike a trade deal and warned of countermeasures if no agreement is reached. Trump said he was open to further discussions with the EU and other trading partners. Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is arranging to meet US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Tokyo on Friday, the Yomiuri newspaper reported, ahead of an August 1 deadline before 25 per cent tariffs are due to take effect. Ishiba also has an election to contend with on Sunday, with polls showing his ruling coalition may lose their majority in the upper house to political opponents who are advocating for expansive spending. The benchmark 10-year JGB yield jumped to 1.595 per cent, highest since October 2008, while the 30-year yield hit an all-time high of 3.195 per cent. Meanwhile, the US earnings season is set to begin on Tuesday, with second-quarter reports from major banks. S&P 500 profits are expected to rise 5.8 per cent year-over-year, according to LSEG data. The outlook has dimmed sharply since the early April forecast of 10.2 per cent growth, before Trump launched his trade war. Investors are also waiting for US consumer price data for June, due on Tuesday, and will monitor for any upward pressure on prices from tariffs. The dollar was little changed at 147.71 yen after touching a three-week high. The euro was flat at $US1.1672. US crude dipped 0.3 per cent to $US66.80 a barrel. Trump announced new weapons shipments for Ukraine on Monday, and threatened sanctions on buyers of Russian exports unless Moscow agrees to a peace deal in 50 days. Gold inched up 0.1 per cent at $US3,348.35 per ounce, while spot silver gained 0.1 per cent to $US38.15 per ounce, after hitting its highest level since September 2011 in the previous session. In early trades, the pan-region Euro Stoxx 50 futures were up 0.1 per cent, German DAX futures were up 0.1 per cent, and FTSE futures were up 0.2 per cent. US stock futures, the S&P 500 e-minis, were down 0.1 per cent.
