On the EW line at Tanah Merah Stn beside Optima, there are plans for a residential commercial mix. With the new plans for Bedok central, I am not sure even that will materialise. So having a mall at Bedok South seems even more remote given the population density based on current situation.
There are also some building height restrictions there if I not wrong, so the buiding size/type may have constraints. But then again, north of Upper East Coast Road may not be affected.
ERL Bedok South station seems to be a strong possibilty, though I have not seen any soil testing done there yet. I suspect URA is reserving the the land for either EC or DBSS.
