SINGAPORE — Gillman Barracks will get a S$2 million facelift and could soon see new offerings including a farmers' market and farm-to-table dining options.

In two phases of rejuvenation plans, the Singapore Land Authority said on Tuesday that it intends to introduce more tenants with"novel" food and beverage and lifestyle concepts to provide a wide range of offerings.

Located near the Southern Ridges, the site is currently home to 10 local and international art galleries, and will continue to be a"highlight precinct" for Singapore Art Week, the authority said. "Families, cyclists, hikers, arts enthusiasts, nature lovers, as well as the working community and residents in Alexandra and Telok Blangah, and future residents at the newly announced Greater Southern Waterfront, can look forward to experiencing varied offerings throughout the day."

Of the five blocks open for tenders, four currently have tenants. Their leases will expire early next year, SLA added. The quality component will consider whether the proposal incorporates green initiatives, part of SLA's initiative to make Gillman Barracks an eco-friendly precinct, said SLA.Gillman Barracks will also get an"overall facelift", with upgrading works targeted to be completed by early-2023, said SLA in the press release.

Gillman Barracks is also situated next to a park connector network along the Alexandra Garden Trail, which links Hort Park, Labrador Park and the Southern Ridges, said SLA, describing it as an"ideal pitstop" for cyclists and hikers.
