200-room hotel facing Coney Island to be sited in Punggol Digital District
The Straits Times
|April 30, 2024
Punggol Digital District, an upcoming business park in north-east Singapore, is set to have a 200room hotel facing Coney Island.
JTC Corporation, the 50ha district's master planner and developer, told The Straits Times on April 29 that the new serviced residence or hotel will be part of a business park tower that will be located at the eastern end of the district.
JTC, which oversees Singapore's industrial spaces, is seeking proposals from parties interested in operating the serviced residence or hotel on a 60-year tenure, said a spokeswoman for the agency.
She added that the exercise will be conducted by JTC's appointed agent, real estate services firm JLL.
The hotel's opening date is yet to be confirmed.
JTC was among the organisations that received development approvals for commercial projects between January and March, according to data published by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on April 26.
The agency had received approvals for the hotel in Punggol Way, which will have a gross floor area of 8,141 sq m and 223 rooms. The tower housing the hotel is set to be completed alongside other buildings in the district later in 2024.
