Maxwell House (GPS: 1.27922, 103.84474) is a now demolished building in the Chinatown subzone of Outram, Singapore. Built in 1971, it is along Maxwell Road in Postal District 01. The building was sold on en bloc in 2021, and was purchased for S$276.8 million. The buyer is a joint purchase by Singapore-listed companies Chip Eng Seng Corp, SingHaiyi Investments and Chuan Investments.
Maxwell House was built on land of a 99-year leasehold tenure. The new joint owners are now seeking an in-principle approval from the Singapore Land Authority for a fresh 99-year lease. The site of Maxwell House has a zoning plot ratio of 4.3 but with the redevelopment, the developers managed to get a 5.6 gross plot ratio.
The new buyers have planned a new development on the site, to be known as Maxwell House Residences. This will be a commercial property offering office space for sale and rent. There will also be residential units here, details to be made known at a later date.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
