Centurion Accommodation REIT gains FEDA licence for new Toh Guan block

Centurion said it will submit a new FEDA licence application to cover the expanded capacity.

Centurion Accommodation REIT has received a FEDA licence for the new 1,764-bed block at Westlite Toh Guan, which previously secured its Temporary Occupation Permit.

Earlier approvals capped the dormitory’s allowable capacity at 8,430 beds. Once the new block was completed, the existing 7,330 beds would have required a reduction of 664 beds to comply with that limit.

The authorities have now approved the retention of those 664 beds until 31 December 2028, creating what the manager terms the “Toh Guan Expanded Capacity.” This implies a temporary operating capacity of about 9,094 beds during the period.

Centurion said it will submit a new FEDA licence application to cover the expanded capacity, replacing the existing licence that applies only to the additional block.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
