URA launches tender for 12 ha mixed-use site in Paya Lebar Central

Total potential commercial floor space at about 500,000 sqm.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) launched the second land parcel in Paya Lebar Central for sale by public tender today. This mixed-use site, which comprises office, retail and residential uses, can generate about 165,000 sqm of gross floor area (GFA) and will be a key development in the Paya Lebar Central


As part of URA’s decentralisation strategy, commercial clusters outside the city centre are created to provide job opportunities closer to homes, and reduce congestion and travelling times to and from the city centre.

Located at the fringe of the city centre, Paya Lebar Central is envisaged to be a bustling commercial centre with a mix of office, retail and residential developments and attractive public spaces. The precinct has about 12 hectares (ha) of land available for development and a total potential commercial floor space of about 500,000 sqm. 

Here’s more from URA:

Paya Lebar Central will provide an attractive and accessible location for businesses that prefer to be located outside the Central Business District. The area is shaping up well with new developments such as Paya Lebar Square, One KM and the Workforce Development Agency’s Lifelong Learning Institute. 

Together with the Geylang Serai Market and the future Wisma Geylang Serai, the developments will enhance the Geylang Serai Precinct which has traditionally been a cultural and commercial hub for the Malay community.

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.
