URA suggests voluntary conservation of Golden Mile Tower’s iconic cinema block
According to records found by EdgeProp Singapore, the authorities has actually indicated that if a builder willingly preserves at least the standing cinema block, it would certainly take into consideration raising the location’s permitted gross plot ratio (GPR) from 4.46 to 5.6, based on the remaining site area of 93,902.5 sq ft.
“The rise of the building’s height control under the voluntary conservation options opens up chances for developers to reimage the real estate with a striking horizon existence. It additionally implies that commercial and hotel areas in the brand-new development could feature 5m floor-to-ceiling elevations, while non commercial units could provide 3.6 m ceiling levels,” says Tan.
URA has presented an idea for the optional management of Golden Mile Tower in feedback to an overview application provided by the collective sale committe of Golden Mile Tower. This would take effect if the 99-year leasehold growth is effectively offered in a cumulative sale and a developer plans to redevelop the real property.

The greater GPR would correspondingly boost the redevelopment’s allowable gross floor area (GFA) to 525,854 sq ft, a substantial boost from its present GFA of 419,142 sq ft. Additionally, voluntary preservation would likewise provide a greater optimum structure elevation of 164m, up from the site’s present limit of 145m.

Golden Mile Singapore is collectively created by Perennial Holdings and Far East Organization. The commercial units were launched last December. The new home units, housed within a 45-storey tower, are expected to be launched this quarter.
“This is an unusual opportunity to redevelop Golden Mile Tower in light of the limited land source around Beach Roadway and rate uplift due to revitalization efforts like the start of Golden Mile Singapore and the adjoining Kallang Alive masterplan,” claims Tan.
According to Anna Tan, firm development supervisor at Tag Realty (the advertising agent for the collective sale of Golden Mile Tower), the reserve rate of the 99-year leasehold development continues to be unmodified.
