About 160 retail shops at the Turf City mall have been given six more months to vacate the site, which is state property.

According to a report by The Straits Times, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has set a 29 February 2012 deadline for the retail shops to vacate its site off Dunearn Road.

The retail mall, which is managed by Turf City developer Singapore Agro Agricultural (SAA), comprises a Giant hypermarket, restaurants and car dealerships.

The shops were set up in 2001, on the back of a three-year lease which was renewable for up to nine years.

The report said that before the lease expired in August 2010, the SAA sought a lease extension to provide its sub-tenants ample time to relocate.

The SLA granted them a one year lease extension, which will expire in August this year. It noted that the latest six-month lease extension until February 2012 will be the final one.
