IS a major redevelopment finally in the works for a stretch of prime Orchard Road real estate owned by Ong Beng Seng’s Hotel Properties Limited (HPL)?
A development proposal has been submitted to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) involving land parcels that currently house HPL’s Forum The Shopping Mall, the voco Orchard Singapore hotel, and HPL House. The land that the voco Orchard Singapore stands on, currently zoned for hotel use, is up for rezoning to commercial use, according to a Friday (Jun 9) update by the planning agency.
HPL’s three properties sit on a total of an estimated 14,027.1 square metres or roughly 150,000 square feet of freehold land, on a prime corner of Orchard Road and Cuscaden Road.
