The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has awarded 49 Kensington Park Road — home to a former school in the Serangoon Garden neighbourhood — to Singapore-based construction company Top Pave.

This comes after a price-quality tender, which evaluates bids based on both price and quality aspects, rather than solely on the lowest price.

SLA said on June 29 that Top Pave’s proposal is expected to transform the former Serangoon Garden South School into a health-led lifestyle hub with a diverse mix of health, wellness, and community-focused offerings.

The new hub will bring together fitness, physiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), recovery facilities, and regular community programming to foster intergenerational bonding.

"A place that once shaped young minds will now serve the whole community," SLA added. "Its legacy as a place for learning will continue to live on through active ageing, preventive healthcare, and multi-generational community activities for all ages."

Sustainability will also be integrated into the new hub’s design, such as with solar panels and energy-efficient systems.

Built in 1955, the property sits on 78,096 sq ft of land and has a gross floor area of around 36,853 sq ft. It comprises a three-storey building, a two-storey building, and three single-storey buildings, as well as 24 car park lots.

The state-owned site has been vacant since 2007.

The tender opened this January and closed in March. SLA had said the site will be leased for an initial term of five years, followed by a final term of four years at its discretion.

Kensington Park Road is situated within a landed residential enclave, near Serangoon Gardens Country Club, Tavistock Avenue Park, Chomp Chomp Food Centre, and Serangoon Garden Market.

Educational institutions in the vicinity include Serangoon Garden Secondary School and International French School.

Private residential developments Kensington Park Condominium, Affinity at Serangoon, and The Garden Residences are within a six to 16-minute walk from the 49 Kensington Park Road site.

SLA manages a range of heritage assets including iconic buildings, vacant state land, former army camps, school buildings, government buildings, heritage bungalows, shophouses and others.

Other former school compounds that have received a new lease of life through adaptive reuse include New Bahru, a creative lifestyle destination on Kim Yam Road, transformed from the old Nan Chiau High School; and intergenerational co-living development Commune @ Henderson along Henderson Road, located at the former Henderson Primary School site.

### Top Pave中标SLA标案，前实龙岗花园学校将变身健康导向生活中心

位于Kensington Park Road，将聚焦健身、物理治疗、中医、康复及跨代社区活动

新加坡土地管理局（SLA）已将位于实龙岗花园（Serangoon Garden）社区、前身为学校的49 Kensington Park Road，批予新加坡建筑公司Top Pave。

此次通过价格—质量标（price-quality tender）评标，即同时评估价格与质量，而非仅以最低价取胜。

SLA于6月29日表示，Top Pave的方案预计将前Serangoon Garden South School改造成健康导向的生活中心，汇聚多元健康、保健与社区服务。

新中心将结合健身、物理治疗、中医（TCM）、康复设施，以及促进跨代连结的定期社区活动。

SLA补充道：“这片曾塑造年轻心灵的地方，如今将服务整个社区。其作为学习场所的传承，将透过活跃乐龄、预防保健与适合各年龄层的跨代社区活动延续下去。”

新中心设计亦将融入可持续元素，例如太阳能板与节能系统。

该物业建于1955年，占地78,096平方呎，总楼面面积约36,853平方呎，包括一栋三层建筑、一栋两层建筑、三栋单层建筑，以及24个停车位。

这块国有地自2007年起空置。

标案于今年1月开标、3月截标。SLA曾表示，用地初步租期五年，其后可酌情再批四年最终租期。

Kensington Park Road位于有地住宅区，邻近Serangoon Gardens Country Club、Tavistock Avenue Park、Chomp Chomp美食中心及Serangoon Garden Market。
