The robust demand is also evident from the competitive bidding seen recently for the GLS hotel site at Jurong Town Hall, as well as the white site at Novena.

On the back of Singapore’s healthy tourism fundamentals and the government’s efforts to focus on quality tourism to promote growth, we can expect to see strong visitor arrivals which would boost ARR and revenue per available room (RevPAR).”

Hence, this EOI exercise will provide a timely opportunity for serious parties to submit their best offers for the owner’s consideration.”
