The site is flanked by The St. Regis Singapore and Four Seasons Hotel, and is located within a prestigious enclave about 200 meters off Orchard Road. The 25,741 square feet freehold site is zoned for hotel development and is the first hotel redevelopment site on sale in the Orchard area in more than a decade.
