CORPORATE REVIEW:
MANAGING OUR LAND ASSETS

In land-scarce Singapore, effective management and optimisation of land is imperative. SLA strives to use State land in creative and productive ways to meet social and economic objectives.

CREATING COMMUNITIES AT CHIP BEE GARDENS


Chip Bee Gardens.

 

SLA manages 409 terrace houses and walk-up apartments in Chip Bee Gardens. Chip Bee Gardens was established as a military estate in the 1950s, and was once home to the British Army and their families. Today, Chip Bee Gardens is an estate better known for its eclectic mix of commercial and residential tenants, including local craftsmen Bynd Artisan and homegrown fashion label Ong Shunmugam. In January 2017, SLA launched the first rental show house unit at 44 Taman Warna to market these properties. Earlier in April 2016, SLA had discovered that damaged roof awnings from some properties at Chip Bee Gardens contained asbestos, and took swift action to inspect and replace the awnings. Phase 1 of the works was completed in October 2016 – two months ahead of schedule.
