Hub Synergy Point (GPS: 1.27418, 103.84479) is a now demolished 28-storey building in downtown Singapore. It used to be located at the corner of Anson Road with Enggor Street. In late May 2007, the owners of the building communicated to its 30+ tenants the decision to demolish it.
According to a Straits Timesreport, the decision to demolish Hub Synergy Point caught some tenants by surprise, as some have just spent a lot of money renovating their premises. This includes Jiak Kopi Cafe, which spent more than S$100,000 to renovate in order to occupy the ground floor at the end of February 2017.
According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, the maximum height allowed on the Hub Synergy Point plot is 35 storey. This is a mere 7 storeys more than the previous building, which was 28 storeys. Another possible reason for demolishing is that the building is aged, having been completed in 1973, and a reconstruction will attract high-paying rental.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
