The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has put up a cluster of twenty heritage bungalows in Sembawang for tender. These properties are available for lease with a five-year tenure, and the option to extend for four more years.
The charming two-storey black-and-white bungalows are situated along Admiralty Road East, Falkland Road, Auckland Road West, and Fiji Road. These properties were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and cover an area of approximately 245,300 sq ft. The estimated total gross floor area (GFA) is 94,945 sq ft.
These bungalows are open for lease with serviced apartment usage, including multi-generational and senior co-living concepts. F&B and retail usage are also allowed, as long as the GFA does not exceed 9,580 sq ft. The minimum stay for a serviced apartment is one week.
In addition, the tendering process will take the price and quality of the bids into consideration. Interested parties can submit their bids by June 11 at 11am, with the award of the site expected in October. The SLA is actively seeking innovative and creative ideas to transform these properties into unique spaces, such as co-living, pop-up event venues, and social impact hubs.
This initiative is in line with SLA’s efforts to reimagine state properties and to maximize their potential for public use. The organization aims to promote community collaboration and to create a vibrant and sustainable environment for everyone. Moreover, the SLA is committed to streamlining the property conveyancing process by introducing a digital portal by 2026. With these efforts, SLA is determined to serve the needs of the community and to enhance the quality of life for all.
