Halal Food in Chancery Court

Chancery Court at 36H Dunearn Road occupies a prime position in Bukit Timah's District 11, a 16-storey tower within a 99-year leasehold complex completed in 1981. The development of 136 units by Housing & Urban Development has aged into a mature estate with walk-up maisonettes and modern tower blocks, along with facilities including a BBQ pavilion and playground. The building includes a Cold Storage supermarket serving residents' daily needs, while Newton MRT station provides direct access to the city centre. The location near Balmoral Plaza and Newton Food Centre places residents within walking distance of diverse amenities. In a noteworthy turn, the property was sold en bloc to Far East Organisation for $401.78 million, but the developer chose to retain and rent out the existing units rather than redevelop the site, an unconventional decision in Singapore's property market where en bloc sales typically lead to demolition and rebuilding. This decision reflects the continued viability of well-maintained older developments in prime locations. The 16-storey Block 36H houses both residential and commercial tenants, exemplifying the mixed-use approach common in older developments. Chancery Court's story illustrates how mature properties in prime districts maintain their value through location and amenities, even as newer developments rise around them.
