No guide price has been indicated for the site, according to exclusive marketing agent Knight Frank Singapore. Interested parties are invited to submit an offer together with a proposed concept for the site. The 94,907 sq ft site is zoned for “Educational Institution” use under the URA Master Plan 2025, and will come with a fresh 103-year leasehold tenure.

The site is next to an existing spirituality centre run by non-profit Canossa Mission Singapore, the local mission arm of the Canossian Sisters, at 100 Jalan Merbok. A project on the redevelopment site could thus potentially serve as a care and community campus that is complementary to the spirituality centre, Knight Frank suggested. “This co-location provides the potential for a differentiated environment centred on care, wellbeing, reflection and community engagement, while the respective uses remain independently operated,” the marketing agent added. Located in the Toh Tuck landed housing area, near Bukit Batok, Beauty World and Upper Bukit Timah, the site sits within a mature residential catchment of both private and public housing. “As senior residents’ care needs evolve, it is ideal for them to transit between different levels of support while remaining within the subject site, helping to reduce disruption for both residents and their families,” said Melvin Chay, interim head of capital markets at Knight Frank Singapore.

The EOI exercise will close on Nov 6 at 3pm. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 惹兰梅博租赁地契重建地块待售；或可用于乐龄居住 该地块位于惹兰裕廊克契尔（Jln Jurong Kechil）附近，发售不设指导价。辅助生活或护理院均在优先用途之列。 位于惹兰裕廊克契尔附近惹兰梅博的一幅地块，已通过意向书（EOI）方式推出发售。 独家营销代理莱坊新加坡表示，该地块未标明指导价。有意者获邀提交出价，并一并提交针对该地块的拟定概念。 根据市区重建局《2025年总体规划》，这块94,907平方英尺的地块规划用途为“教育机构”，并将附带一份全新的103年租赁地契。 另请阅读：Valley Point及新加坡辉盛阁将重建为豪华滨河综合用途项目 该公司补充说，优先用途包括乐龄居住及护理设施，例如辅助生活、护理院、日间护理中心，或保健与医疗护理培训中心，惟须取得相关规划及监管批准。 该地块毗邻一处现有灵修中心，由非营利机构新加坡嘉诺撒传教会（Canossa Mission Singapore）营运；该机构是嘉诺撒仁爱会的本地传教分支，地址为惹兰梅博100号。 莱坊表示，重建地块上的项目因而有望成为一个与该灵修中心互补的护理及社区校园。 营销代理补充说：“这种共址安排有望营造一个以护理、身心健康、静思及社区参与为核心的差异化环境，而各自的用途仍将独立营运。” 该地块位于Toh Tuck有地住宅区，邻近武吉巴督、美丽世界及武吉知马上段，处于涵盖私人住宅与公共组屋的成熟住宅腹地之内。 莱坊新加坡资本市场临时主管Melvin Chay表示：“随着乐龄住户的护理需求不断变化，他们最理想的是在标的地块内于不同支持级别之间过渡，从而减少对住户及其家人的打扰。” 另请阅读：从雪室到音波浴：走进Morrow的长寿之道 莱坊新加坡资本市场执行董事Mary Sai预计，随着新加坡人口老龄化，对乐龄居住及护理资产的需求将会增加；目前65岁及以上人士占人口的21.6%。 Sai表示：“该标的地块为投资者及营运商提供机会，打造一项以改善护理、身心健康及生活品质为核心的差异化乐龄居住方案。” 此次意向书程序将于11月6日下午3时截止。
