Marine Cove tenants want to cut losses and bail out
Leases end in March but they want to cut losses as buildings deteriorate and business falls
Published on Dec 1, 2011
The leases on the businesses surrounding the McDonald's outlet at East Coast Park will lapse in March, but some tenants of the recreation and food and beverage outlets want out earlier.
At least five tenants of Marine Cove, as the area is called, say they have written to their landlord, the National Parks Board (NParks), to ask for an early termination of their leases. Three others say they will do so soon. Some have already called it quits.
This is an about-turn from a year ago, when many of the area's 32 tenants were fighting to stay and had by then wrangled three lease extensions, the last of which was to take them up to March next year.
BACKGROUND STORY
LOSING MONEY
'I'm losing a lot of money. I want to close down as early as I can. The communal areas here are just filthy. Who wants to come here?'
Mr Amas Tan, 54, owner of Marine Bowl, who says business has dipped by half in the last six months.
Tenants who spoke to The Straits Times said they changed their minds about staying because maintenance of the place has lapsed and the buildings are falling into disrepair.
