SINGAPORE: The Golden Shoe Car Park building, where its food centre is a favourite lunchtime haunt for many workers in Raffles Place, will be redeveloped into an office tower up to 280m high – on par with the tallest buildings in the Central Business District.

The manager of CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT), the property owner, said on Wednesday (Oct 19) it has submitted plans to the authorities to redevelop the 10-storey building into a “higher-value commercial development” with a gross floor area of 1 million sq ft.

The Government’s approval for the redevelopment is necessary as the site is currently zoned for transport use. CCT said it has started preliminary discussions on the proposed redevelopment with the relevant authorities.

A new food centre owned by the Government is expected to replace the existing food centre and adjoin the new office tower, CCT added.

Golden Shoe tenants and hawkers have been informed that they have to vacate the property by Jul 31, 2017. CCT said it will work with the authorities to set up a temporary food centre in the vicinity for current stallholders to continue their business during the redevelopment period.

The car park will also cease operation in end-July next year. Vehicle owners who have a season parking pass for the car park will be notified to look for alternative parking, it added.

The redevelopment is likely to start by the second half of next year, subject to relevant approvals, and is expected to be completed in 2021.

seems like the stallholders will move to the temp center then shift into the govt run food center when it's finished.

So all is not lost.

Should approve the redevelopment only if they have same space allocated for public parking.

Some hawkers may choose to call it a day and opt not to return. So the temporary one may not have to be that big.

 

Maybe can use Hong Lim park in the interim. Haha.
