Shops where SPC Golden Shoe used to be...Capitaland

The space vacated by Singapore Petroleum Company in Golden Shoe Car Park earlier this week is to be used for shops and F&B outlets, the property’s owner said yesterday. The car park is owned by CapitaCommercial Trust, a real estate investment trust sponsored by property company CapitaLand.

The development is the last phase of the trust’s efforts to improve the look of the car park, and renovation works are expected to take several months.

After the revamp there will be about 20 fewer parking spaces. There are at present more than 1,000 spaces, CapitaLand told BT yesterday.

The refurbishment of Golden Shoe comes after CapitaLand’s renovation of the nearby Market Street car park, which reopened in November.

At Market Street car park, rents went up by 38 per cent and the net lettable area increased to 1,970 sq m from 1,550 sq m. Market observers expect rents to rise similarly at Golden Shoe car park once the revamp is complete.

CNA yesterday also reported that CapitaLand has received provisional permission to build a nine-storey office tower on top of the existing Funan DigitaLife Mall.

This will include additions and alterations to the building, home largely of retailers of electronics and computer products. To maximise the useable space, CapitaMall Trust is working out a plan with the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

The report said CapitaMall Trust wanted to achieve a more efficient floor plate when developing the proposed office block and to minimise disruptions to the retail tenants. The trust will release more details when the plans are finalised.

I’m Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {urgentloan22@gmail.com}
