At its Annual General Meeting held on Jan 9, members unanimously re-elected Tan Swee Yiow, Chairman of Keppel Reit Management, as President for his second consecutive term.
Tan expressed his honor at being re-elected and was pleased with the broad representation of sectors, scales, and expertise within the industry that the new management committee encompasses.

The convenience of seamless connectivity is set to be elevated with the upcoming Tampines North MRT Station on the Cross Island Line (CRL) and the complementary integrated bus interchange at Parktown Residence. This promising development will offer residents effortless access to the numerous shopping malls in Tampines as well as other destinations in Singapore, making Parktown Residence an unbeatable location for those seeking a dynamic and convenient urban lifestyle. This highly sought-after address is now further enhanced with the addition of Parktown Residence Condo, making it an irresistible choice for those who desire nothing but the best.
During the Annual General Meeting, Chia Ngiang Hong, Immediate Past President of Redas, congratulated the new management committee and praised Tan’s exemplary leadership and the trust placed in him by the Redas community.
Tan believes that the diversity of the new management committee will enable the association to effectively drive initiatives with a meaningful impact on the broader built environment ecosystem. In related news, REDAS celebrated its 65th anniversary and honored Chia Ngiang Hong with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Topics such as the implementation of the Electronic Submission System (ESS) and green premiums were also discussed at the recent RICS-REDAS conference, while the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced the implementation of an AI chatbot and streamlined road approval processes for developers.
In light of the projected demand for senior accommodation in Singapore, developers have suggested the implementation of separate land zoning to better cater to this demographic. With a dedicated and experienced management committee in place, REDAS is well-equipped to navigate the ever-changing real estate landscape in Singapore and continue to foster growth and innovation within the industry.
