   "what_happened": "BLOCK71 Singapore (Queenstown, Singapore) was retrofitted from a flatted factory to an office space in 2010 by the Media Development Authority using a 'reinhabit' strategy. It now functions as a high-tech hub with digital startups and VC funds. The site is located in an area with 16 demolished or closed commercial properties within 10km (including Tanglin Shopping Centre, HarbourFront Centre, and Scotts Shopping Centre). No parcel details, deal terms, or current occupancy metrics are provided in the record. The retrofit status is 'built' and the record is marked as 'draft' verification.",
   "why": "The record confirms the transformation strategy, timeline, and current use but lacks specific site parcel data, financial terms, or post-retrofit performance metrics. Context shows a cluster of former retail sites nearby, though their relevance to this project is not analyzed in the record.",
   "where_it_stands": "The retrofit is complete and operational as an office space. The developer is identified, but no additional stakeholders or planning approvals are detailed. The 'after_notes' describe its current function but do not quantify success or tenant mix.",
