I want to architecture our software so that we can expose our API logic using WCF (SOAP and REST).
Im confused as to whether I have to use ASMX files if I want to do SOAP services, or whether .svc file can still do SOAP service?

Your svc file can provide the restful interface you are requesting. You just have to do a little configuring within your web configuration file, and decorate the svc class with the attributes to describe the behavior of our restful url.
