The Singapore Tourism Board has launched a concept and price revenue tender for a mixed-use development at 37 Emerald Hill, the former site of Singapore Chinese Girls' School, according to The Straits Times. The site sits in the Orchard Road area.
The Straits Times reports that the tender calls for a mixed-use project. The Business Times also reported the launch, describing it as a mixed-use Orchard development at the former SCGS site. EdgeProp.sg reported that the tourism board is inviting proposals to turn the Emerald Hill site into a hotel and lifestyle destination.
The tourism board announced the tender on its own website, where it described the location as historic and referred to the exercise as a concept and price revenue tender for a mixed-use development.
Under this tender format, proposals are assessed on both their concept and their price component, though the source material does not set out the evaluation weightings or the site's land area.
The former school site's location near Orchard Road places it within Singapore's main shopping and hotel belt, which the tourism board oversees as part of its remit for the sector.
What to watch next: the proposals submitted by developers and how the tourism board weighs concept against price in awarding the site.
