Kallang Theatre could in the near future become a venue for sports events, as Sport Singapore is taking over the management of the building from February next year.

Kallang Theatre is currently being managed by arts event management company Asia Arts & Culture.

Since 2011, it has been renting the premises from the Singapore Land Authority for a monthly fee of S$43,000.

The lease expires on January 31 next year.

The Singapore Land Authority and Sport Singapore said they will unveil future plans for the theatre once they have been finalised.

David Poh, managing director of PropNex, said: “There are a few things that Sport Singapore can do. First, they probably will convert it into a venue for small sports events, for example, for fencing competitions. They can maybe do some modification to the building.

“Secondly, they probably have bigger plans. If you take a look, Kallang Theatre, with the open space car park beside it, offers land for future development for Sports Hub. So they may have plans to build more sports facilities."
