Maxwell House is a 13-storey commercial development at 20 Maxwell Road. The 99-year leasehold development launched its collective sale on April 7, 2021 at a reserve price of $268 million. Cushman & Wakefield was the marketing agent.

The site is currently zoned ‘commercial’ under the latest master plan, but the joint tenderers have announced in a press release that they intend to seek approval to redevelop the property into a commercial and residential mixed-use project.

The site currently has a gross plot ratio of 4.3 but the developers say they will also seek approval to increase the plot ratio to 5.6 for the new development to have a gross floor area (GFA) of at least 233,987 sq ft. Up to 20% of the GFA will be set aside for commercial use.
