How will the Paya Lebar Air Base be redeveloped

The air base is set to be relocated in 2030.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has unveiled proposals for the redevelopment of the Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) from the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) and the Singapore Institute of Planners (SIP).

These plans include transforming PLAB into a new generation town with homes, jobs, and lifestyle amenities that meet the needs of a community of the future.

Another proposal is to develop “a heritage district anchored on the PLAB’s heritage as a former international airport, where existing infrastructure such as the old airport runway, terminal building, and other historic buildings form the foundation of its transformation through adaptive reuse,” said the URA.

A network of signature parks and waterways has also been proposed to embed nature with future developments.

To further seek ideas for PLAB’s redevelopment, URA also launched a competition for the public on how they want the PLAB to be transformed.

Individuals who are planning to join the competition can check URA”s website to check existing concept proposals for the air base. 

The PLAB is set to be relocated in 2030 and will free up about 800 hectares of land in the East Region.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
