SINGAPORE: Four master tenants operating across Punggol East and neighbouring Tebing Lane will be offered lease extensions of up to a year, potentially allowing businesses in the area to remain until the end of 2027.

The extension comes after CNA reported in September that more than 50 tenants at the Punggol East container park had been told to cease operations by Oct 31, ahead of the expiry of the site's lease at the end of the year.

Member of Parliament Yeo Wan Ling of Punggol GRC said in a Facebook post on Saturday (Oct 3) that she had met the relevant agencies to discuss concerns raised by businesses at Punggol East and Tebing Lane over the upcoming expiry of their tenancies.

"Following a review and adjustments to the development timelines, the agencies will be able to offer the four master tenants an extension of up to one year, until end-2027," she said.

Agencies including the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), JTC Corporation, NParks and the Housing and Development Board will also continue helping affected businesses explore alternative premises, Ms Yeo said. This includes connecting them with relevant government landlords and agencies, with options within Punggol to be considered where available. "I am glad that the agencies have been able to provide this additional flexibility," Ms Yeo said. She added that she hoped the extension would give businesses more time to prepare for the transition while allowing the community to continue using the spaces before the area is redeveloped.

TENANTS TOLD TO LEAVE BY END-OCTOBER

Just over a month ago, more than tenants at 50 Punggol East Road had been preparing to leave after City Sprouts, the social enterprise operating the container park, informed them that they had to cease operations by Oct 31 and hand their premises back to the company.

City Sprouts' lease for the state property was due to expire on Dec 31, with the land to be returned to SLA.

SLA said that the tenancy could not be extended because the site was required for future residential redevelopment. City Sprouts had also said at the time that it was in discussions with SLA over extensions and alternative sites.

Several businesses told CNA then that the relatively short notice had left them scrambling to find new premises and make arrangements for their employees.

Among them was halal Filipino food business Tara na! by Easy Eatz SG, which had moved into the container park only in May.

Its co-owner Nurnisa Jonson said she was concerned about finding another location for the business and its 12 employees. Other affected businesses included Smok Hous, Kim Kao Mai Thai restaurant and pickleball operator Play! Pickle.

City Sprouts had secured a new space at Pasir Ris Park and offered its Punggol community farmers and partners priority to relocate there or to other community greenhouses it operates.

For F&B outlets, the enterprise said it had informed the main operator of the option for businesses to take up stalls at its other locations in the East.

The wider Tebing Lane area is also slated for redevelopment. The Business Times previously reported that the state properties at 32 Punggol East, 6 Tebing Lane and 10 Tebing Lane were tenanted respectively to Sing See Soon Floral & Landscape, Sports Hub @ Punggol and AT Punggol, with their tenancies due to expire on Dec 31, 2026.

Ms Yeo said the latest extension was intended to provide businesses with more time to prepare for the eventual transition as the area moves towards its "next chapter".

议员杨婉玲表示，她希望延期能让榜鹅东和德宾巷的商家有更多时间为过渡做好准备。

新加坡：在榜鹅东和邻近的德宾巷经营的四家主要租户将获得长达一年的租约延期，这可能会使该地区的企业能够继续经营到 2027 年底。

此前，亚洲新闻台 (CNA) 在 9 月份报道称，榜鹅东集装箱公园的 50 多家租户已被告知在 10 月 31 日前停止运营，因为该地块的租约将于年底到期。

榜鹅集选区议员杨婉玲周六（10月3日）在脸书上发帖称，她已与相关机构会面，讨论榜鹅东和德宾巷的商户对即将到期的租约所提出的担忧。

“经过审查和对开发时间表的调整，各机构将能够为四家主租户提供最多一年的延期，直至 2027 年底，”她说。

这包括将他们与相关的政府房东和机构联系起来，并尽可能考虑榜鹅市内的房产选择。

“我很高兴各机构能够提供这种额外的灵活性，”叶女士说。

租户被告知必须在十月底前搬走

就在一个多月前，榜鹅东路 50 号的几名租户准备搬离，因为运营该集装箱公园的社会企业 City Sprouts 通知他们，必须在 10 月 31 日之前停止运营并将他们的房产交还给公司。

City Sprouts 公司对州属土地的租赁合同将于 12 月 31 日到期，届时土地将归还给 SLA。

悉尼土地管理局（SLA）表示，由于该地块需要用于未来的住宅重建项目，因此租约无法续签。City Sprouts当时也曾表示，正在与SLA商讨续约事宜和替代地块。

当时有多家企业告诉亚洲新闻台，由于通知时间相对较短，他们不得不紧急寻找新的办公场所，并为员工做出安排。

其中就包括清真菲律宾食品企业 Tara na! by Easy Eatz SG，该企业于今年 5 月才搬进集装箱园区。

其共同所有人努尔尼萨·约翰逊表示，她担心如何为这家企业及其12名员工找到新的经营场所。其他受影响的企业包括Smok Hous、Kim Kao Mai Thai餐厅和匹克球运营商Play! Pickle。

City Sprouts 在巴西立公园找到了新的场地，并优先考虑将其榜鹅社区的农民和合作伙伴搬迁到那里或它运营的其他社区温室。

对于餐饮店，该企业表示已告知主要运营商，商家可以选择在其位于东部的其他地点租用摊位。

更广阔的德宾巷（Tebing Lane）区域也计划进行重建。《商业时报》此前报道称，榜鹅东32号、德宾巷6号和德宾巷10号的州属物业分别租给了星仕顺花卉园林（Sing See Soon Floral & Landscape）、榜鹅体育中心（Sports Hub @ Punggol）和榜鹅机场（AT Punggol），租约将于2026年12月31日到期。

叶女士表示，此次延期旨在为企业提供更多时间为该地区迈向“下一个篇章”的最终过渡做好准备。
