THE Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on Tuesday said that the land occupied by 191 private terrace houses at Lorong 3 Geylang will return to the state when the current leases expire on Dec 31, 2020. The government has slated the land for future public housing.
SLA said this is the first time that a private residential plot's land lease is expiring and is being returned to the state. The next major estate to be affected by lease expiry will be Fuyong Estate in 2046.
