The mission, which has supported Singapore’s Norwegian maritime community since 1955, is offering the site at 300/300A Pasir Panjang Road — its home since 1977 — at a guide price of $70 million. On July 29, the appointed marketing agent, JLL, launched the site for sale via an expression of interest (EOI) exercise.

Under the URA Master Plan 2025, it is zoned for residential use with a gross plot ratio of 1.4 and a maximum permissible gross floor area of 68,284 sq ft. After factoring in the land betterment charge, the guide price of $70 million reflects a land rate of $1,571 psf per plot ratio (ppr). Including bonus gross floor area for balconies, the land rate works out to $1,526 psf ppr. The property is held in trust by British and Malayan Trustees, according to a title search. Little known, except to cyclists Few Singaporeans know the Mission exists, save perhaps for the cyclists who grind up the slope it sits on. Once, it served thousands of Norwegian seafarers and was their gathering place — one of a global network of Norwegian seamen’s churches running from New York to Rotterdam to Rio de Janeiro. With those numbers drastically reduced over the years, the Mission now serves a much smaller community of maritime-related expatriates and students. It has even opened its doors to the wider Scandinavian community here, not just Norwegians. That shrinking membership means the Mission now requires a much smaller facility — prompting the decision to sell the Pasir Panjang property and look for a smaller site that better suits its current needs. The existing property is low-density, comprising two clusters of bungalows with a total gross floor area of just 34,142 sq ft. At 300 Pasir Panjang Road, on the lower part of the slope, two interlinked bungalows contain the residence of the Norwegian priest, Rev Sjur Askjer, who has served as Port Chaplain since September 2024. He and his wife have their own self-contained residence at one level, with a private living and dining area, bedrooms, a kitchen and a veranda overlooking the greenery.

These bedrooms are rented out to Norwegian students on exchange programmes, or to Norwegian embassy staff and others who have relocated to Singapore for work, says Nicholas Ng, JLL Singapore head of land and collective sales. Community clubhouse The Mission works alongside the Norwegian Embassy, the Norwegian Business Association of Singapore and Innovation Norway, and functions as a community club. The upper house, at the crest of the slope at 300A Pasir Panjang Road, holds a chapel, a main dining hall, a kitchen and a shop on the first level, with a library, offices, meeting room, boardroom and a gathering space above. The space can be rented out for corporate events. On a recent visit, a staff member served freshly made heart-shaped waffles with sour cream and jam, reflecting the traditional Norwegian hospitality extended to all guests. Norwegian staples — brown cheese, rice porridge and home-made bread — are kept in a cold store at the shop off the main room. The chapel, built in 1999, houses a small organ that is still played at Sunday services. The Mission’s biggest date is May 17, Norway’s Constitution Day, when a parade winds up the hill, which the Norwegian Business Association of Singapore has described as “the world’s steepest”. Adjacent to the upper house is a swimming pool with a pool house containing two bedrooms, also available for rent. Both are currently leased.

The site offers unobstructed views towards Kent Ridge Park and the Greater Southern Waterfront. Its elevated terrain allows the future developer the opportunity to “craft a bespoke, low-density residential development that capitalises on the site’s natural topography”, notes Ng. According to JLL, the property is within a 10-minute walk of Haw Par Villa MRT Station on the Circle Line. The site is close to the National University of Singapore, Curtin University, Singapore Science Parks 1 and 2, as well as Mapletree Business City. One-north, the CBD and Marina Bay are easily accessible via the West Coast Highway and the Ayer Rajah Expressway. Ng says the sale launch is "well-timed", with the surrounding area set for state-led transformation under the Greater Southern Waterfront plan — a 2,000ha precinct stretching along a 30km coastline, envisioned as a mixed-use area combining housing, commercial space, lifestyle offerings and parks. "The property's positioning alongside the Greater Southern Waterfront will appeal to developers seeking a unique project or high-net-worth individuals looking to build a private legacy compound," he adds. The Greater Southern Waterfront will be developed progressively over the coming decades, following the move of Keppel’s container terminal operations to Tuas Port by 2027. Pasir Panjang Terminal will relocate to Tuas sometime in the 2040s, once the final phases of the mega port are completed. “This infrastructure project is anticipated to act as a catalyst for long-term capital appreciation and rental demand in the area,” says Ng. The neighbours Next door is Palisades, a freehold, 18-unit boutique condo completed in 1985. Because of the steep hillslope, the nine-storey development is served by a funicular reaching every level — the only one of its kind in a Singapore condo. Palisades was designed by the late Australian architect Geoffrey Malone, who co-founded the Singapore International Film Festival in 1987 and also designed Yishun 10, Singapore’s first purpose-built multiplex. Malone died in February 2022. Each floor holds two large-format units: three-bedders from 2,616 to 2,906 sq ft, and four-bedders from 3,294 to 4,047 sq ft, all with private lift lobbies and generous balconies facing the sea. In October 2021, the owners of Palisades agreed to a collective sale, but the attempt failed. The most recent transaction, based on caveats lodged, was a 3,326 sq ft four-bedder on the fourth floor that changed hands for $3.9 million ($1,173 psf) in July 2025. Before that, a 3,983 sq ft four-bedder on the second level sold for $4 million ($1,004 psf) in February 2025. On the other side of Palisades is The Hillshore, a freehold, 59-unit boutique project by FRX Capital. Since its launch in April 2024, nine units have sold at prices from $1.6 million ($2,154 psf) for a 743 sq ft two-bedder, to $3.16 million ($2,670 psf) for a 1,184 sq ft three-bedder, based on caveats lodged to date. Farther along Pasir Panjang Road is Terra Hill, a 270-unit freehold project by a joint venture between Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway MCL. Launched in February 2023, Terra Hill is 77% sold to date. The 47 units transacted in the first half of 2026 went for between $2,275 and $2,822 psf, based on caveats lodged as at July 27. Ng estimates construction costs at $500-$600 psf, with the future project’s selling price at around $2,900 psf. “Pasir Panjang is a mature, low-density estate,” he says. For families with young children, Fairfield Methodist (Primary) is within a 1- 2 km radius of the property. Being close to nature is another draw, Ng adds, with West Coast Park, Kent Ridge Park, HortPark and the Southern Ridges network nearby. The EOI exercise for the Mission site closes on September 15. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 巴西班让挪威海员传道会地块以7000万新元挂牌出售 挪威海员传道会自1977年起用作总部的巴西班让山顶宅院，现以指导价7000万新元挂牌出售 一座近半个世纪以来一直作为挪威海员传道会新加坡总部的山顶院落现正挂牌出售。 该传道会自1955年起便服务新加坡的挪威海事社群，现正推出位于巴西班让路300/300A号——自1977年起即为其驻地——的地块，指导价为7000万新元。 7月29日，获委任的营销代理仲量联行（JLL）通过意向书（EOI）程序正式推售该地块。 延伸阅读：大南部滨海地区居购房者认知首位；地铁便利与永久地契为关键优先项：调查 该永久地契地块面积达48,774平方英尺。根据市区重建局《总体规划2025》，该地块划为住宅用途，总容积率为1.4，最高允许总楼面面积为68,284平方英尺。 计入土地增值费后，7000万新元的指导价相当于每容积率平方英尺（ppr）1,571新元的地价。若计入阳台奖励总楼面面积，地价则合每容积率平方英尺1,526新元。 根据地契查询，该物业由British and Malayan Trustees以信托方式持有。 鲜为人知，除了骑行者 除了可能苦撑骑上其所在山坡的骑行者外，少有新加坡人知道该传道会的存在。曾几何时，它服务数千名挪威海员，是他们的聚集地——也是从纽约到鹿特丹再到里约热内卢的全球挪威海员教堂网络之一。 随着这些人数多年来大幅减少，传道会如今服务的海事相关外籍人士与学生社群已小得多。它甚至向本地更广泛的北欧社群开放，而不再仅限于挪威人。 会员人数萎缩意味着传道会现在需要小得多的场所——这促使了出售巴西班让物业、并寻找更符合当前需求的较小场地的决定。 现有物业密度较低，由两组洋房组成，总楼面面积仅34,142平方英尺。在巴西班让路300号、坡下较低处，两栋相连洋房包含挪威牧师Sjur Askjer牧师的住所，他自2024年9月起担任港口牧师。他与妻子在其中一层拥有独立居所，设有私人起居与用餐区、卧室、厨房，以及俯瞰绿意的游廊。 延伸阅读：大南部滨海地区转型如何把巴西班让推上版图 该栋与另一栋设有更多卧室、共用起居与用餐区及共享厨房的洋房相连。仲量联行新加坡土地与集体销售主管Nicholas Ng表示，这些卧室出租给参加交流项目的挪威学生，或挪威大使馆人员及其他因工作迁居新加坡者。 社区会所 传道会与挪威大使馆、新加坡挪威商会及Innovation Norway协作，并发挥社区会所的功能。 位于巴西班让路300A号坡顶的上层建筑，首层设有小教堂、主餐厅、厨房与商店，上层则有图书馆、办公室、会议室、董事会议室及聚会空间。该空间可出租作企业活动之用。 在近期一次访问中，一名员工端上现做的心形华夫饼，配以酸奶油与果酱，体现面向所有宾客的传统挪威待客之道。挪威常备食材——棕奶酪、米粥与自制面包——存放在主厅旁商店的冷藏间。建于1999年的小教堂内有一架小型管风琴，周日礼拜时仍会演奏。 传道会最重要的日子是5月17日挪威宪法日，届时会有游行沿山而上，新加坡挪威商会曾形容其为“世上最陡峭的”。 上层建筑旁是一座游泳池及附带两间卧室的泳池屋，同样可供出租。两处目前均已租出。 延伸阅读：2026年财政预算案对人工智能的推动或可拉动纬壹（one-north）物业需求 重建潜力 Ng估计，该地块可容纳一座全新精品五层住宅项目，最多约63个单位，假设平均面积为100平方米（1,076平方英尺）。地块可享无遮挡视野，眺望肯特岗公园与大南部滨海地区。 Ng指出，其高地地形让未来发展商有机会“打造一座量身定制的低密度住宅项目，充分利用地块的自然地势”。 据仲量联行称，该物业步行约10分钟可达环线虎豹别墅地铁站。地块靠近新加坡国立大学、科廷大学、新加坡科技园1与2，以及丰树商业城。经西海岸公路与亚逸拉惹高速公路，可便捷前往纬壹、中央商务区与滨海湾。 Ng表示此次推售“时机恰当”，周边地区正按大南部滨海地区规划迎接国家主导转型——该片区约2,000公顷，沿约30公里海岸线延伸，愿景是融合住宅、商业空间、生活方式设施与公园的综合用途区域。 他补充道：“该物业毗邻大南部滨海地区的定位，将吸引寻求独特项目的发展商，或希望打造私人传世大院的高净值人士。” 大南部滨海地区将在未来数十年分阶段发展，前提是吉宝集装箱码头业务在2027年前迁至大士港。巴西班让码头则将在2040年代某个时候迁至大士，待巨型港口最后阶段完成后进行。 Ng表示：“这项基础设施项目预计将成为该区长期资本增值与租赁需求的催化剂。” 邻居 隔壁是Palisades，一座1985年竣工、共18个单位的永久地契精品共管公寓。因山坡陡峭，这座九层项目以缆车式升降设施通达每一层——是新加坡共管公寓中独一无二的设计。 Palisades由已故澳大利亚建筑师Geoffrey Malone设计，他于1987年共同创办新加坡国际电影节，还设计了新加坡首座专用多厅影院义顺10号。Malone于2022年2月逝世。 每层有两个大户型单位：三房单位面积介于2,616至2,906平方英尺，四房单位介于3,294至4,047平方英尺，均设私人电梯大堂，并拥有面向大海的宽敞阳台。 2021年10月，Palisades业主曾同意集体出售，但最终未能成功。根据已提呈的 caveat，最近一笔交易是2025年7月四楼一间3,326平方英尺四房单位，成交价390万新元（每平方英尺1,173新元）。此前，二楼一间3,983平方英尺四房单位于2025年2月以400万新元（每平方英尺1,004新元）售出。 Palisades另一侧是FRX Capital开发的永久地契精品项目The Hillshore，共59个单位。自2024年4月开盘以来，根据迄今提呈的 caveat，已售出9个单位，价格从743平方英尺两房单位的160万新元（每平方英尺2,154新元），到1,184平方英尺三房单位的316万新元（每平方英尺2,670新元）不等。 沿巴西班让路更远处是Terra Hill，由合发置地与Sunway MCL合资开发的270个单位永久地契项目。该项目于2023年2月开盘，迄今售出约77%。根据截至7月27日提呈的 caveat，2026年上半年成交的47个单位，成交价介于每平方英尺2,275至2,822新元。 Ng估计建筑成本约为每平方英尺500至600新元，未来项目售价约在每平方英尺2,900新元左右。他说：“巴西班让是成熟的低密度住宅区。” 对有年幼子女的家庭而言，卫理公会华侨小学（Fairfield Methodist Primary）位于该物业约1至2公里范围内。 Ng补充道，亲近自然也是另一吸引力，附近有西海岸公园、肯特岗公园、园艺公园及南部山脊网络。 该传道会地块的意向书程序于9月15日截止。
