SINGAPORE: The Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, plans to develop residential properties on his land parcels at Holland Road following a land swap with the Singapore government. A media release published on the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) website stated that it had received a development application from the Regent of Johor to develop the land parcels for residential use. Following the deal, the Regent of Johor now owns 16.6ha of land in Holland Road, which is suitable for low-rise, low-density residential use. Therefore, URA said it has proposed rezoning the Regent of Johor's land parcel from 'special use' and 'open space' to 'residential' status. "Should the rezoning proposal be approved, part of the land parcels zoned 'residential' will also be designated as a good class bungalow area to reflect the type of housing to be developed.
