Smith Street, located in the Chinatown conservation area, will be rejuvenated to inject vibrancy and drive greater footfall to the area.
Known for its culinary offerings, it will soon feature more diverse experiences, such as gamified tours, arts and cultural galleries, local artisans and co-living/co-working concepts, while preserving the area’s cultural and architectural heritage.
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA), Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Urban Redevelopment Authority jointly launched a collective tender on Nov 30 to appoint a master tenant to rejuvenate the row of shophouses from 11 to 37 Smith Street, as well as the adjacent pedestrian mall on state land.
This covers a land area of 3,166 sq m and a gross floor area of 3,073 sq m. The successful bidder will be offered an upfront tenure of five years, renewable for a second term of four years, to facilitate better resource planning.
Smith Street was where Chinatown Food Street was sited.
Opened in 2001 as part of STB’s efforts to revitalise Chinatown, it boasted a cluster of popular hawker food carts along a 100m stretch that was closed to vehicular traffic. It shuttered in October 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Smith Street will continue to have an array of food and beverage offerings and new dining concepts reflecting Singapore’s multicultural identity.
