Johor Regent, Singapore finalise land swap at Holland Road

ROJ gets 8.5 hectares of state land.

The Regent of Johor, His Royal Highness Tunku Ismail (ROJ), has agreed to a land swap with the Singapore government involving a 21.1-hectare site along Holland Road.

In a mutually agreed land swap aimed at preserving the integrity of the Singapore Botanic Gardens UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ROJ will transfer Plot C—located closer to the Gardens—to the Singapore government.

In return, the government will transfer 8.5 hectares of state land, known as Plot A, to the ROJ. Plot A lies further away from the heritage site and is considered of comparable value.

Plot B will remain under the private ownership of the Johor royal family.

Following the exchange, ROJ may proceed with development plans for Plots A and B. The land is designated for low-rise, low-density residential use.

Any proposed development will undergo the necessary regulatory processes, including assessment by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and other relevant agencies, to ensure the project aligns with the surrounding site's character.

Environmental impact studies will also be required prior to the commencement of any works.

The government will keep Plot C undeveloped for now, with future use to be decided.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
