SINGAPORE : More food & beverage (F&B) establishments, fine dining restaurants, and recreational & retail outlets have been planned for Tanglin Village.

The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has awarded two sites in the Dempsey area to Country City Investment following a public tender.

They consist a total of 11 building blocks over a total of 40,000 sq metres at Dempsey Road and Dempsey Hill.

The new development is expected to be operational in the later half of this year.

A major attraction to the area will be the popular Samy's Curry Restaurant, which will continue to operate from the former Civil Service College site.

In line with its aim to improve the surrounding infrastructure of Tanglin Village, SLA said it would put up another property for public tender in August.

The site at Minden Road could be used for food establishments, arts studios and childcare facilities.

The 40-hectare Tanglin Village, which currently houses over 30 businesses and organisations, has seen several improvements over the past three years, including landscaped plazas with visitor information, as well as entrance and building markers.

More information is available from the SLA's State Property and Information Online (SPIO) website at www.spio.sla.gov.sg. - CNA /ls

It's quite a nice place but I wonder if the additional recreation makes it lose it's charm.
