Sun, sand, sea: Resort living in Pasir Ris under HDB rejuvenation plans
Pasir Ris is a charming town next to the sea (hence the local name White Sands). But the town was developed more than 30 years ago and needs a refresh. So we are rejuvenating it to provide more facilities and connectivity, and to make it an urban sanctuary, with nature at its doorstep!
Four key strategies to reinvigorate Pasir Ris under the Remaking Our Heartland Programme.
Cross Island Line (CRL) will be the longest fully underground line at more than 50 kilometres long. It will serve existing and future developments in the eastern, western, and north-eastern corridors, connecting major hubs such as Jurong Lake District, Punggol Digital District and Changi region.
Constructed in three phases, the 29km long Phase 1 of the CRL (CRL1) will comprise 12 stations from Aviation Park to Bright Hill. This will serve residential and industrial areas such as Loyang, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Defu, Hougang, Serangoon North and Ang Mo Kio. More than 100,000 households will benefit from CRL1, and common recreational spaces such as Changi Beach Park and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park will also become accessible by public transport. Construction for CRL1 is expected to commence in 2020 and be completed by 2030.
Punggol Extension: Better Rail Connectivity for Punggol and Pasir Ris Residents
Cross Island Line-Punggol Extension comprise four stations – Punggol, Riviera, Elias and Pasir Ris – with three of the stations serving as interchanges with other lines.
Capitalising on the expansion of Changi Air hub, Changi Gateway will host aviation related businesses relying on air connectivity to the world. It will also be supported by an innovative lifestyle business cluster comprising the Singapore University of Technology & Design, Changi Business Park and the future Changi East Urban District.
