URA unveils 4th Rail Corridor community node

Ho Bee Land developed the 1.6-hectare community node.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority opened the fourth community node of the Rail Corridor, which offers inclusive spaces for play and community and cultural events.

The Buona Vista in one-north is also the first community node along the Rail Corridor’s southern stretch.

Ho Bee Land developed the 1.6-hectare community node in collaboration with JTC Corporation (JTC), the National Parks Board (NParks) and URA. 

Features of Buona Vista include a children's playground with biophilic elements, fitness areas for adults and seniors, a 'plug-and-play' space under the North Buona Vista Link viaduct for fitness enthusiasts and community activities, and a 500 sqm community lawn that doubles as a flexible event space.

Meanwhile, the URA also announced the launch of From Dreams to "Rail-ity," an ideas competition for the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station (TPRS).

URA is inviting the public to submit proposals that “reimagine the historic railway station as a vibrant and inclusive multi-functional building that is a key community node and southern gateway into the Rail Corridor, bringing together heritage, nature and communities. “
