According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), JTC was granted approvals for the hotel in Punggol Way earlier this year.
The company’s newest hotel project will be overlooking Coney Island and have a gross floor area of 8,141 sqm and 223 rooms.
A JTC spokesperson told MS News that they are in the process of calling for an Expression of Interest for the serviced residence/hotel site with a 60-year tenure.
The exercise will close on Tuesday (30 April) at 1pm, and interested parties may contact JTC’s appointed agent, real estate services firm JLL, for more information.
It is unclear when exactly the hotel will launch in the new digital district.
Situated between two airports in Singapore, the Punggol Digital District will be the country’s first smart and sustainable business district.
It’s targeted at key growth industries of the digital economy, such as cybersecurity, machine learning, IoT and smart city solutions.
The digital district will create 28,000 jobs and draw approximately 11,000 students as well as more than 500 academic staff.
According to the Straits Times, JTC received planning clearance on 16 Feb for eight buildings in the district.
The 50-hectare mixed-use district is designed by world-acclaimed architecture firm WOHA, and will house amenities for the business and academic community and surrounding Punggol residents.
The amenities include:
The business park will consist of several Government agencies and industry names including United Overseas Bank (UOB) and the Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore (CSA).
