Facilitating Services
The URA provides assistance to owners as a consultant to help them assemble titles for commencing owner-initiated redevelopment.The URA has set up its wholly-owned subsidiary, Urban Redevelopment Facilitating Services Co. Ltd. (“URFS”), to implement Facilitating Services.
The URFS mainly helps owners assemble titles for the joint sale of their property interests. Owners of not less than 40% of the interest in a site need to make a joint application to the URA. The URFS will select suitable applications for implementation.
The URFS will, on behalf of the participating owners, engage consultants and try to persuade yet-to-commit owners to join the Scheme for the joint sale of their property interests.
Unlike the URA-initiated redevelopment projects, the property interests will be sold by auction to the purchaser other than the URA.
