Centurion Accommodation REIT gains FEDA licence for new Toh Guan block
Centurion said it will submit a new FEDA licence application to cover the expanded capacity.
Centurion Accommodation REIT has received a FEDA licence for the new 1,764-bed block at Westlite Toh Guan, which previously secured its Temporary Occupation Permit.
Earlier approvals capped the dormitory’s allowable capacity at 8,430 beds. Once the new block was completed, the existing 7,330 beds would have required a reduction of 664 beds to comply with that limit.
The authorities have now approved the retention of those 664 beds until 31 December 2028, creating what the manager terms the “Toh Guan Expanded Capacity.” This implies a temporary operating capacity of about 9,094 beds during the period.
Centurion said it will submit a new FEDA licence application to cover the expanded capacity, replacing the existing licence that applies only to the additional block.
