District Characteristics
Core Central Area
Central Area will continue to be a dynamic city centre where job and business opportunities abound, a playground with endless options for all, and where homes are just a walking distance from work and play.
The CBD will continue to be rejuvenated with an increasingly diverse mix of uses due to the injection of residential, hotel and retail uses from new developments. A new retail & entertainment spine along Bayfront Avenue in Marina Bay will add retail and entertainment diversity to our city. To further enhance intra-city and island-wide connectivity, the MRT network will be doubled and there will be improvements to the commuter journey. In the next 10 years, developments in the Central Area will be within a 5-minute walk, on average, from an MRT station. A network of dedicated cycling paths will be implemented in the Central Area, to promote cycling as an alternative mode of transport.
In the next 15 years, more housing will be built in city locations such as the CBD, Marina Bay, Marina South, River Valley, Pearl’s Hill, and the Ophir-Rochor area. Every development will be within a 5 to 10 minutes’ walk to transport nodes, shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and recreational spaces.
Other Central Region
Within the Central Region, there is already a wide variety of housing options to choose from. Homes in the Central Region will benefit from the convenience of being in mature towns as well as near public infrastructure such as MRT stations. Exciting new housing districts - such as Kampong Bugis and Bidadari - will also be opened up.
There will be new public housing projects in Queenstown, Toa Payoh and Bukit Merah towns, such as SkyTerrace@Dawson, City Vue@Henderson, Toa Payoh Crest and Tiong Bahru View, allowing more people to enjoy the amenities, convenience and character of these familiar towns.
As part of the Housing & Development Board’s (HDB) Remaking Our Heartland (ROH) initiative, the Dawson developments will feature new housing concepts such as Multi-generational Apartments, Housing in a Park and Skyrise Community Spaces.
Upcoming private housing developments such as Echelon, D’Leedon, Leedon Residence, Corals at Keppel Bay and a new residential development at Kim Tian Road will also be completed over the next few years.
Over the next 10-15 years, new public and private housing will be developed around existing and upcoming Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations such as Mattar, Geylang Bahru, MacPherson, Dakota and Caldecott, where residents can enjoy improved accessibility to public transport.
To meet housing demands for a growing population, Bidadari Estate will be developed into a new public housing estate with a distinct character and sense of history. Envisioned as a tranquil urban oasis, the planning of Bidadari Estate will build on the area’s rich heritage, cherished existing green spaces and multiple public transport links to create a garden living environment.
Kampong Bugis will be developed as a high-density waterfront residential area in a lush garden setting with accessible public and alternative transport links to reduce car usage. Located between two river channels leading directly into Kallang Basin, Kampong Bugis will be an exemplary water-sensitive urban design precinct. We also envisage future residential developments with creative ‘fence-less’ designs that facilitate public enjoyment of the area.

Eastern Region
The Eastern Region has a varied housing landscape that offers diverse housing options for everyone. Public housing estates like Bedok, Tampines and Pasir Ris provide affordable and convenient housing options. At the same time, the Eastern Region is renowned for its seafront housing just steps away from East Coast Park. Lakefront housing in front of Bedok Reservoir and a mix of low rise condominium and landed housing across the region complete the picture of a livable and desirable living environment.
Tampines North is the fresh face of a well-developed area. Built as an extension of Tampines, the town will feature a new linear park linking it to the existing Tampines Eco Green and Sun Plaza parks. Tampines North will also have a spread of amenities including a commercial centre, community club and primary and secondary schools.
New HDB developments are also under construction and being planned for mature estates in the East, to ensure their rejuvenation and provide couples, families and singles the option of living closer to their parents. In terms of private housing, the East Region will continue to see new options being made available from conveniently located condominiums near MRT stations to waterside developments near the sea.
Like the existing residential areas, Tampines North will boast an extensive suite of supporting amenities including schools, healthcare, community, sports and recreation facilities. Amenities in the existing towns will continue to be enhanced. For example, the much anticipated Tampines Town Hub will breathe fresh life into Tampines Regional Centre. Changi General Hospital is being expanded to add more beds and medical facilities to serve residents in the East. Pasir Ris will see a much welcomed hawker centre
Residents in Bedok can look forward to an exciting new set of commercial, social, sports and recreational activities in the rejuvenated Bedok town centre, including the new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) with the Bedok Mall by CapitaMalls Asia, a new Town Plaza and hawker centre, as well as new sporting facilities at the existing Bedok Adventure Park which will be redeveloped.
The East Region will benefit from significant improvements to public transport and roads, with new MRT connections cutting journey times and road improvements to reduce traffic congestion and improve connectivity between and within towns. New cycling routes will also encourage sustainable transport among the public.
