SLA, URA, BCA and NParks are jointly calling for proposals on sustainable rejuvenation for the Bukit Timah Fire Station. The State property is launched as part of the global C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group’s ‘Reinventing Cities’ competition.

The 0.83ha former Bukit Timah Fire Station (BTFS) site consists of the conserved main Fire Station building, seven three-storey accommodation blocks for firefighters, and a single-storey residence for the Station Master. As BTFS is strategically located at the crossroads of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Bukit Batok Nature Park and two key recreational corridors – the Rail Corridor and the Coast-to-Coast Trail, agencies are looking for a compelling proposal to adaptively reuse the existing buildings and transform the site into a gateway node to nature, heritage and adventure. The site should also showcase innovative environmentally-sustainable urban solutions that push energy efficiency boundaries beyond current best-in-class standards.

Interested participants can sign up here to join one of two site visit and information sessions happening on 14 and 15 January 2020 (3.30pm to 5.30pm). During this session, participants will be briefed on the site and the competition details. There will also be a brief tour of the former Bukit Timah Fire Station.
