Singapore, 07 Apr 2021 The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Sport Singapore (SportSG) on Wednesday (April 7) launched a tender to convert a state property on Ulu Pandan Road into a sports facility.
The almost 11,000-sqm plot — about the size of one-and-a-half football fields — is at 102 Ulu Pandan road, opposite Pandan Valley condominium, and was previously used as a hostel.
The joint tender is the first time that SLA and national sports governing body SportSG are collaborating in this way. Property developers are invited to pitch their ideas alongside their bidding amount in order for their proposals to be assessed.
Mr Steven Tan, chief executive officer of realtor Orange Tee and Tie, said that sports venues that are hard to book, such as those for badminton and futsal, may be a better draw.
Even people beyond the estate may use such facilities, he added. “These are sports that people don’t mind driving out there to play.”
He even suggested that “complementary” facilities such as a sports-themed cafe may be set up there, so that hikers and cyclists using the nearby park connectors and nature trails could unwind after their workouts.
