We are celebrating another milestone for the Rail Corridor today! The fourth community node at Buona Vista is now open for all to visit. Developed jointly with Ho Bee Land, National Parks Board and JTC Corporation, this new node will bring nearby residents and workers in one-north closer to nature and offer public spaces for community events and activities. Join us on our journey to shape the Rail Corridor - we have launched an ideas competition calling for your ideas to reimagine the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station as a unique heritage and community node.

You may be familiar with their gem biscuits and cream crackers, but have you been to the headquarters of Khong Guan? Check out how this 1950s building was carefully restored to celebrate its rich heritage – down to the smallest details such as the tiles! – and how the new extension for the headquarters office was designed.    The restoration team’s efforts won them our Architectural Heritage Award (AHA) for Restoration and Innovation in 2018. Today, it is not just home to the headquarters office but also a café at the ground level open to anyone who’ll like to visit and take in the 1950s aesthetic of the building. Know of other beautifully restored buildings? Nominate them for AHA 2024 from now till 3 June 2024!

What does it take to connect over 9km of rolling hills and green spaces? 🤔 The Southern Ridges is an example of how we work with different organisations and Singaporeans, like you, to make our spaces more enjoyable. And the result? A seamless stretch in southern Singapore that spans various parks and lush open spaces, offering some of the most panoramic views of the city. The transformation and development of the Southern Ridges was even awarded the Urban Land Institute’s prestigious Global Awards for Excellence in 2010. In our Draft Master Plan 2025, we want to create more spaces like this with you!
