Mixed-use concept eyed for Stamford Road-North Bridge Road property

Residential units located in the junction are estimated to sell for above $2,000 psf with Perennial Real Estate and Chesham Properties’ plan to redevelop the 1.43 hectare area.

The consortium, which was awarded a S$250 million tender for a 99-year lease, plans to integrate hotel, retail, entertainment and residential uses for the property.

In a statement, Li Hiaw Ho, Executive Director of CB Richard Ellis Research said, ““The location of this mixed-use development is excellent with immediate access to City Hall MRT Station, making it attractive for any kind of commercial and residential use… Should the apartments at this new downtown location be sized as small format units of about 500 sf to 1,000 sf, the residential component alone should be able to finance a substantial portion of the overall development cost, considering the overall land cost of $461 psf/plot ratio.”

Ho also lauded the plan to restore Capitol Building and Stamford House into a five-star hotel, saying the plan “is possibly the most difficult element to design for, and in all likelihood, the design and architectural ingenuity that went into accommodating a modern hotel within the walls of these conservation buildings played a big part if not the key role in the government’s acceptance of the overall concept."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
