DOVER RESIDENCE - URA REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Dakota Crescent

Dakota Crescent will be revitalised with the injection of new public housing. The much loved central courtyard, Dove Playground and six distinctive blocks of former Singapore Improvement Trust flats will be retained as landmarks for the precinct. Future residents can look forward to an inclusive estate with convenient amenities and vibrant community spaces amidst the heritage buildings.

Holland Plain

Holland Plain will be a distinctive and welcoming neighbourhood, featuring generous park spaces for residents to enjoy. There will also be water-sensitive elements to clean and manage rainwater run-off. With the newly enhanced Bukit Timah First Diversion Canal and Rail Corridor at its doorstep, native species can be introduced into the new parks to extend these nearby habitats and enrich biodiversity in the area.

Farrer Park

New housing at Farrer Park will open up more opportunities for those seeking to live closer to the city and their families staying in the area. Familiar features such as the former boxing gym will be retained, while a sports centre which includes a swimming pool and other sporting facilities will be built at the location of the Farrer Park Swimming Complex, to recall the sporting heritage of the area and better serve residents and members of the public. A sports field, park and open spaces will also be integrated for community bonding.

Paya Lebar Central

Centrally located near the city, Paya Lebar Central is also in close proximity to the culturally rich Geylang Serai precinct. Developments such as Wisma Geylang Serai and Paya Lebar Quarter will add to the area’s rich array of lifestyle and entertainment offerings.

Owners of key buildings within the precinct are on board the pilot Business Improvement District programme to develop initiatives that will further enliven the precinct, and complement plans to make Geylang Serai more culturally distinctive.

Bishan Sub-Regional Centre

Bishan Sub-Regional Centre will be transformed into an attractive and easily accessible employment node. Community facilities will be integrated within upcoming commercial developments to better serve nearby residents, workers and the general public.

Dover Knowledge District

As an extension of one-north, the Dover Knowledge District can realise synergies between the nearby business parks, academic and research institutions. It will offer vibrant integrated spaces to create exciting new jobs and learning opportunities, and support Singapore’s long-term economic growth.

East Coast Park Improvement Works

Visitors to one of Singapore’s most well-loved can enjoy the recently reopened Raintree Cove and look forward to upgraded open spaces and amenities at Big Splash and Cyclist Park. Fun-seekers will get to enjoy new F&B outlets, a vertical playground with a lookout tower, and an expansive multi-purpose lawn.

Singapore Botanical Gardens – Gallop Extension

Our first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iconic Singapore Botanic Gardens will feature new attractions for all ages to enjoy with the opening of its Gallop Extension later this year. 5 Gallop Road, Singapore’s earliest surviving black-and-white bungalow, will house the new Forest Discovery Centre. Other attractions include an arboretum of dipterocarp forest trees, a restored ridge top habitat offering vantage points and an adventure hiking trail, as well as a biophilic play area inspired by the distractive parks of trees found within the grounds.

Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Walk

The Bukit Timah-Rochor green walk is envisioned as a journey through a riverine forest and will include an elevated park. The 11km corridor stretches from the Rail Corridor to the Kallang Riverside Park, and forms part of the Coast-to-Coast Trail and Nature Park Network. Visitors can look forward to a unique walking and cycling experience set amidst lush greenery.
