Owned by Sabana REIT, New Tech Park is a 1980s commercial development located at Lorong Chuan. Its recent transformation is a result of the A&A works by ONG&ONG with the goal of urban intervention and rejuvenation. Previously under the Business 1 (B1) category of land use, the addition of retail and F&B components and its proximity to the Lorong Chuan MRT Station, provides a new and exciting urban node for the largely residential neighbourhood.
As part of this evolution, a new bijou mall called NTP+ (read as "NTP Plus") was added to the development offering a combination of F&B, retail, and non-retail spaces. Out of the 26 retail and F&B units, 25 are located on the ground floor while the second floor offers a dedicated food court and landscape deck. According to EdgeProp Singapore, as of April 2021, 97 per cent of the units within NTP+ have been leased.
The design of NTP+ takes its context from the verdant greenery surrounding its location offering landscaped decks and lush foliage on the first and second floor, creating additional recreational and breakout spaces outside the mall. The façade facing Lorong Chuan is enhanced by a roof trellis supported by distinctive slender vertical columns and a tiered landscape deck.
Most of the works were carried out under difficult circumstances caused by the ongoing pandemic. However, the pandemic also reinforces the need for open spaces, greenery, and shared communal areas, giving both tenants and patrons spots for respite and recreation - a highly-valued feature in a post-Covid world.
