HDB to redevelop Tanglin Halt estate

The redevelopment will introduce 5,500 new flats.

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) will redevelop Singapore’s oldest public housing estates in Queenstown, Tanglin Halt.

The redevelopment will offer up to 5,500 new flats, a hawker centre, a market, and a polyclinic.

The redevelopment will introduce new amenities and facilities for existing and future residents and improved connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists between the Commonwealth MRT Station and the Rail Corridor.

HDB will also enhance greenery in the area and preserve the location's heritage.

The redevelopment will have two phases.

Phase 1 will include the new hawker centre and market to start next year on the site of the former Commonwealth Drive Food Centre.

Once Phase 1 is done, stall owners will move to the new integrated development.

Redevelopment of the existing Tanglin Halt Market will be part of Phase 2.

HDB will build a linear park between Commonwealth MRT Station and the Rail Corridor. Commonwealth Drive will also be realigned, with the transformation of the existing road into a pedestrian-friendly zone equipped with dedicated cycling and pedestrian footpaths.

Meanwhile, HDB will retain the 10-storey height for new housing blocks near the Rail Corridor.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
