Pasir Ris to get more homes next to MRT station, potential new neighbourhood
More homes are set to be built next to Pasir Ris MRT station, on the site of the former Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, while a new community hub for the town centre is in the works.Based on the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Draft Master Plan 2025, the homes will be built on a plot about 2.9ha in size – equivalent to the area of four football fields – that has been zoned for housing, with commercial use on the first storey.In addition, the Government is studying plans for a new neighbourhood in the town, to be located next to Sungei Loyang on a site that is currently largely vegetated.“An environmental study is under way to incorporate the area’s biodiversity into future development plans,” the URA said of the proposed neighbourhood at its draft master plan exhibition.The master plan, which is expected to come into force later in 2025, will guide Singapore’s development for the next 10 to 15 years. The exhibition runs until Nov 29 at The URA Centre.
