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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
