Total SGC$: 1,134.30 |  Former Changi General Hospital turns spa-cum-resort
 | Quote: | | | | | SINGAPORE: The former Changi General Hospital site is getting a new lease of life.
Its next incarnation is going to be a spa-cum-resort, after a S$20 million makeover.
In recent times, the 70-year-old state building has been used for on-location shoots of local drama series and theatrical productions.
It has even been the haunt of paranormal investigators and school children out for a thrill or two.
But the developers hope to change all that.
While the place may look a little rundown right now, by this time next year, developers hope to have turned it into a chic spa-cum-resort.
But in the process, they will have to adhere to strict conservation guidelines.
This means they cannot really do much with the external structure and facades but they can revamp the inside. They hope to do this while retaining the rustic charm of the Changi area.
Two of the three blocks will be restored and the tranquillity of the area will be preserved.
Premium Pacific, a subsidiary of Bestway Properties, which came in at the higher of two bids of S$33,388 per month, has an initial 3-year tenancy agreement with the Singapore Land Authority (SLA). This is renewable up to 2016.
Developers hope to attract both locals and foreigners to the laid-back area.
Anthony Tan, Director, Bestway Properties, said: "Now everyone is hot for Sentosa. We are not following the crowd; we are going the other way. Singaporeans like to go to Bali, Bintan or Chiang Mai. When they have limited time, they may consider staying here for 2 or 3 nights. Foreigners on late flights can also make their way here since it is so near to the airport."
The company is now looking for partners to operate the spa and a restaurant.
The SLA says there have been recent improvements to the Changi area and this conversion will help create more buzz.
They plan to release more of such buildings to be adapted for other uses. - CNA/so | | | | | http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stori...256065/1/.html  To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. NEW UPDATES - Visit my blog @

Ya. Hospitals have sick people healed and also sick people who died. In fact, Changi Hospital with its 70 yrs history would have many dead patients on their records bah. Plus the mortuary there also... :speechless:
Quiet surroundings true lah... but itz going to be creepy man coz every sound will be amplified. *Thump thump thump* at night means what? hehehehe...
We are sooooo bad! Before the place even opens we gave it bad publicity! :devil2: It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.
