Robinson Towers Redevelopment Begins |
Tenants
were served with termination of lease notices of six months yesterday.
The
redevelopment is estimated to cost around $200 million, including development
charges to tap additional gross floor area (GFA). The proposed project,
comprising an office tower and a retail podium, will have a total GFA of about
257,300 square feet.
Designed
by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Architects 61, the building will be
completed in 2016 and will be three times the height of the existing tower.
Robinson
Towers' redevelopment is part of Tuan Sing's expansion strategy here. The group
holds a 50 per cent stake in two Australian hotels and since late 2010, has
been making bids at state tenders in Singapore.
It has clinched two 99-year
leasehold private housing sites, in Seletar and next to Potong Pasir MRT
Station.
Tuan
Sing is expected to launch a 332-unit condominium, Sennett Residence, on the
Potong Pasir site in January.
The
counter closed one cent higher at 31.5 cents yesterday.
