SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The Housing and Development Board (HDB) has announced that it will be developing a 398,265 sq ft (3.7ha) site in Bukit Merah into a new public housing estate that will contain about 1,500 flats.

“The new housing projects will add to the good geographical spread of public housing to meet the different needs of Singaporeans, including young families who want to live near their parents in the area for better mutual care and support,” says HDB in a press release on Dec 15.

The brownfield site was previously occupied by low-rise rental flats that were demolished in the 1990s. The area was earmarked for future residential development since the 1998 URA Master Plan. As a result of this development plan, the Alexandra Post Office will be acquired by the government to facilitate the planning and design of the future housing projects. The Singapore Land Authority has gazetted the acquisition as of Dec 15.
