Chinatown Plaza, Singapore (29 July 2017)
Chinatown Plaza (GPS: 1.27876, 103.84191) is a now demolished high-rise building in the
Chinatown neighbourhood of
Outram, Singapore. The freehold mixed-use site - a rarity within the city - was purchased en bloc in May 2018 for S$260 million by Singapore-based Royal Golden Eagle (RGE). The site can be redeveloped up to its existing gross floor area of 135,742 sqft, with outline planning permission granted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority for commercial and residential use.
In the en bloc sale, apartment owners at Chinatown Plaza were expected to receive between S$3.44 million to S$4.79 million per unit, while shop owners were expected to receive between S$1.64 million to S$10.62 million per unit.
With the change of ownership, Accor is building Singapore's first Mondrian hotel, to be called Mondrain Singapore Duxton. The luxury lifestyle hotel will have 300 guestrooms and suites, along with a restaurant, a lounge and a rooftop bar. The building will incorporate historic architectural elements from Singapore's shophouse design into a modern, contemporary structure.
