SINGAPORE - The authorities have called a new tender to turn the former Bukit Timah Fire Station into a community node, after a consortium that was awarded the project earlier pulled out in 2022.
Asked why it pulled out, a Homestead Holland spokesman cited challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, including uncertain market conditions and a tight labour market. The site comprises seven three-storey accommodation blocks for firefighters, a single-storey residence for the station master, and a main fire station building that was built in 1956 and conserved in 2019.
“This will contribute to the transformation of the site into a highly accessible gateway that connects visitors to the heritage and nature attractions in the area,” the agencies added. The authorities will also explore plans to connect the former fire station to the Rail Corridor trail and Bukit Batok Nature Park – situated across the road from the site.
