Tanjong Katong Complex to reopen fully by 2029; will feature a multipurpose rooftop deck
The Straits Times
|June 30, 2025
Tanjong Katong Complex, a landmark in the Geylang Serai Cultural Belt, is set to reopen fully by 2029, after a tender for the site was awarded on a 30-year lease.
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on June 28 said that it awarded a tender for the site to Jun Jie Development, a company associated with The Elegant Group that runs Grantral Mall @ MacPherson and Changi City Point.
SLA said in a statement that the winning concept for Tanjong Katong Complex features a multipurpose rooftop community deck and food garden, as well as art and heritage installations that showcase the history of the Geylang Serai precinct.
In its submission, Jun Jie Development also proposed that the complex would host programmes put up with local partners, such as creative markets, wellness activities and cultural showcases.
The company's winning bid for the state property was $90,000,888, and topped two other submissions in a concept and price tender, which first assessed the quality of tenderers' development concepts, before evaluating price.
"Jun Jie Development was selected for its strong, community-centric proposal that reflects a sensitive yet forward-looking approach to placemaking and heritage integration," said SLA.
