Some pics I took passing by the old area. I wonder how long until they will sell the land for hotel use. It seems to be case base on the 2008 master plan.

Posted: 30 November 2012 1215 hrs

SINGAPORE: The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) released detailed sales conditions for a hotel site at Victoria Street/Ophir Road on Friday.

With a land area of 0.8 ha, the site is expected to accommodate a hotel development yielding about 32,019 square metres of gross floor area.

According to the URA, the land parcel at Victoria Street/Ophir Road is made available for sale under the Reserve List of the Government Land Sales Programme for the second half of 2012.

This means that the government will release the site for sale if the criteria for triggering the site is met and if it receives sufficient market interest for the site.

When the land parcel is put up for tender, a tender period of about eight to 12 weeks will be allowed before tender closes.

The site is located near the Ophir-Rochor corridor, which is set to be a mix-use cluster with office, hotel, retail, entertainment and residential uses.

The land parcel is also near the historic districts Kampong Glam and Little India, which are popular with locals and tourists.
