A selection of twenty charming heritage bungalows in the historic neighbourhood of Sembawang is now open for tender by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA). These bungalows, each with a distinguished black-and-white exterior, are available for a five-year lease term with the option to extend for another four years.
The bungalows, dating back to the 1920s and 1930s, are situated along Admiralty Road East, Falkland Road, Auckland Road West and Fiji Road. Spread across a generous land area of approximately 245,300 sq ft, the bungalows boast a combined gross floor area (GFA) of around 94,945 sq ft.
For this tender, the bungalows are being offered for lease with the potential for serviced apartment use, including multi-generational and senior co-living concepts. The bungalows are also suitable for F&B and retail use, with a maximum GFA of 9,580 sq ft. For serviced apartment stays, the minimum duration is one week.
In line with SLA’s vision to revitalize state properties, the selection of bungalows will be evaluated based on both price and quality. Interested parties have until June 11 at 11am to submit their bids, with the winning bidder expected to be announced in October.
In other news, the SLA has been actively exploring more innovative ways to make use of state properties. Their prior initiatives include transforming former state properties into co-living spaces, event venues, and even social impact hubs. With the increased interest in these unique properties, the SLA aims to continue their efforts in reimagining state properties for the benefit of the community.
