The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has announced the launch of a tender for a cluster of twenty heritage bungalows in Sembawang. These properties, which have a rich history dating back to the 1920s and 1930s, are available for lease with a tenure of five years, with the option to extend for another four years.
Located along Admiralty Road East, Falkland Road, Auckland Road West, and Fiji Road, these two-storey black-and-white bungalows occupy a total area of about 245,300 sq ft and have an estimated gross floor area of 94,945 sq ft. They are being offered for lease with a serviced apartment use, including multi-generational and senior co-living concepts. The bungalows also allow for F&B and retail use, as long as the gross floor area does not exceed 9,580 sq ft. The minimum stay for a serviced apartment is one week.
In line with the SLA’s efforts to repurpose state properties, this tender is open to creative proposals for alternative use of these heritage bungalows. The aim is to attract innovative and sustainable ideas for the revitalization of these properties. Tenderer bids will be evaluated based on a price-quality basis, and the tender will close on June 11 at 11am. The award of the site is expected to take place in October.
This initiative is part of the SLA’s ongoing efforts to repurpose state properties, with a focus on creating public spaces for the community to come together and fostering social impact. It also aligns with the government’s push for more sustainable and innovative use of land resources.
Interested parties are encouraged to submit proposals for alternative uses of the bungalows, such as co-living spaces, pop-up event venues, or social impact hubs. This presents a unique opportunity for creative entrepreneurs and businesses to make their mark on these heritage properties and bring new life to the Sembawang area.
