The site is located at the heart of the prestigious Caldecott Hill Good Class Bungalow area. Michael Tay, head of capital markets, Singapore at CBRE, says, “This is the largest private redevelopment site sold in 2020 and a testament to developers’ confidence in the Singapore market.”
The land has a balance lease term of 73 years and is zoned ‘Civic & Community Institution’ under the 2019 Master Plan. Mediacorp was granted an Outline Approval by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) for a proposed site redevelopment into two-storey bungalows with a minimum land area of 800 sq m per house. PRE 10 may explore other options upon completion of the transaction.
