URA suggests voluntary conservation of Golden Mile Tower’s iconic cinema block
Golden Mile Singapore is collectively established by Perennial Holdings and Far East Company. The business units were released last December. The brand-new home units, housed inside a 45-storey tower, are anticipated to be introduced this quarter.
The higher GPR would similarly enhance the redevelopment’s permitted gross floor area (GFA) to 525,854 sq ft, a major boost from its existing GFA of 419,142 sq ft. Furthermore, voluntary conservation would certainly also offer a greater optimum building height of 164m, up from the site’s existing limit of 145m.
The approval for voluntary conservation of Golden Mile Tower is considerable ever since the neighbouring Golden Mile Complex, currently recovered as Golden Mile Singapore, was gazetted for conservation in 2021.
According to records found by EdgeProp Singapore, the authorities has actually shown that if a property developer willingly preserves a minimum of the existing movie theater block, it would certainly take into consideration increasing the site’s permitted gross plot ratio (GPR) from 4.46 to 5.6, based upon the existing place area of 93,902.5 sq ft.
“This is a rare opportunity to redevelop Golden Mile Tower in light of the restricted land source along Beach Road and rate uplift due to revitalization attempts like the start of Golden Mile Singapore and the adjoining Kallang Alive masterplan,” says Tan.
According to Anna Tan, business development supervisor at Tag Real estate (the advertising representative for the collective sale of Golden Mile Tower), the reserve price of the 99-year leasehold project stays the same. This equates to a land fee of $1,350, that includes the cost of renewing the land term however does not factor in land improvement costs.
“The increase of the structure’s height control under the volunteer preservation choices opens possibilities for developers to reimage the property with an attractive skyline visibility. It additionally indicates that business and hotel areas in the brand-new development can include 5m floor-to-ceiling elevations, while residential units can provide 3.6 m ceiling levels,” claims Tan.
She includes that the redevelopment of Golden Mile Tower provides a chance to create a brand-new mixed-use development in a prime location along Coastline Road. The building’s heritage and future prospective make it an unique financial investment prospect for local and international investors.
One of the most recent collective sale bid by the owners of Golden Mile Tower occurred last August, with a reserve cost of $556 million. This was the 3rd en bloc attempt to market and redevelop the 99-year leasehold development.
URA has recently put forward a suggestion for the optional preservation of Golden Mile Tower in feedback to an outline application sent by the collective sale committe of Golden Mile Tower. This would most likely work if the 99-year leasehold growth is efficiently marketed in a cumulative sale and a developer intends to redevelop the real estate.
