Singapore Tourism Board launches tender for mixed-use Orchard development at former SCGS site
The project was previously announced as part of the Orchard Road Rejuvenation Plan.
Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has announced a tender for the redevelopment of a 37 Emerald Hill site, formerly the Singapore Chinese Girls' School grounds, in Singapore's Orchard Road area. The tender, valid until March 16, 2027, invites both local and international bidders to submit proposals that celebrate the site's heritage while introducing a new hotel concept and innovative lifestyle experiences.
The 1.04-hectare site, located at the intersection of Somerset and the Emerald Hill Conservation Area, offers excellent accessibility from Orchard Road's main shopping belt. The mixed-use development aims to enhance visitor experiences, encourage longer stays, and boost repeat visits to the area. It will also feature accessible public spaces and year-round programming to foster consistent footfall and community engagement.
Upon completion, the development is expected to enrich Singapore's tourism landscape and provide recreational and leisure options in the heart of the city for locals. STB envisions 37 Emerald Hill becoming a distinctive landmark that strengthens Orchard Road's status as an iconic lifestyle destination, in line with the company's ambition for quality tourism growth towards 2040.
Ashlynn Loo, STB's director of land and concept development, expressed excitement about the project, stating that it will create a unique landmark that bolsters the precinct's position as an iconic lifestyle destination and supports the company's vision for tourism growth.
