COME September, the former Bukit Timah Fire Station will be transformed into a bustling centre for education, the arts, as well as sports and adventure.
Built in 1956, the state-owned building in Upper Bukit Timah Road with its distinctive red doors has been vacant since April 2005.
Spectra Investment, a property investment arm of CreativeBITS which runs classes on new media such as web design, animation and digital video production in schools, signed a three-year lease on the property. The lease is renewable till 2015.
Besides CreativeBITS, four other tenants have confirmed taking up space in the seven blocks of three-storey shophouses which used to house firemen and their families.
They comprise a music school, an organic ice cream cafe, a restaurant and EduPlus Media, a company that conducts Chinese language enrichment classes. CreativeBITS is talking to other potential tenants.
