Victoria St / Ophir Rd Hotel Site Released on GLS Reserve List



A hotel site at the junction of Victoria Street and Ophir Road has been made available for application under the reserve list of the Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme.

The site (formerly Victoria Street Wholesale Centre), is a 99-year leasehold plot, and is about 82,057.5 square feet. It has a maximum permissible gross floor area of about 344,649.3 sq ft. The maximum building height for the development is 20 storeys.

Most consultants said they expected the site to be triggered when it was added to the H2 2012 GLS reserve list earlier this year.


The top bid for the recent Jurong Town Hall Road hotel site was $1,167 psf ppr, and another close by Victoria Street/Ja- lan Sultan site was $994 psf ppr.

The tender for the site on Jurong Town Hall Road closed earlier this month, and drew a record top bid on a per-square-foot basis for a hotel site here.

The bid was submitted by Tamerton, a subsidiary of Genting Singapore, which tendered $238.2 million for the 97,164.7 sq ft plot near Jurong Country Club.

The land parcel is located near the Ophir-Rochor Corridor, a new growth area envisioned to become a mixed-use cluster with office, hotel, retail, entertainment and residential uses. It is close to the main Bugis shopping area, the Kampong Glam Conservation Area, and the upcoming mixed development DUO by M+S Pte Ltd, which comprises hotel, Grade A office, residential and retail uses.

It is situated a short walking distance from the existing Bugis MRT Station and the upcoming Bugis Downtown Line that is slated to be ready next year.
