Other than this, with respect to shopping the future residents can shop at ‘Heartland Mall-Kovan’ and ‘Hougang Mall’ to fulfill their retail needs and for other purposes.
In terms of transit options the site has got well established connectivity with the’ Central Expressway’ and ‘Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway’. Other than this, it has got ‘Hougang Central Bus Interchange’ and ‘Hougang MRT Station’ located at an approachable distance.
That’s probably the reason why it received such remarkable bids. The URA had evaluated all the bids thoroughly and eventually rewarded the land tender to the highest bidder, Fantasia Investment on the 5th June 2017.
