SINGAPORE: More than 6,000 new homes will be built in Toa Payoh West over the coming decade as part of the next phase of rejuvenation for one of Singapore's oldest public housing towns.

The new neighbourhood will comprise mostly public housing, alongside some private housing, said the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on Saturday (Oct 31).

Development works will include a new cluster of commercial, community and recreational amenities around Caldecott MRT station.

These will form a second "heart" for Toa Payoh, complementing the existing town centre in Toa Payoh Central, said the board.

The plans were announced by National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat on Saturday at the launch of the Toa Payoh West Master Plan Exhibition at HDB Hub.

The new hub will include a mixed-use development integrating homes with Toa Payoh's first shopping mall, while plans for a school in the area are also being studied.

The first BTO project under the master plan, Toa Payoh Hillside, will be launched in the November 2026 sales exercise.

Located next to Caldecott MRT station, it will offer about 1,600 flats across five residential blocks ranging from 31 to 43 storeys.

These will comprise 590 two-room Flexi flats, 580 four-room flats, about 230 public rental flats, and 260 Community Care Apartments (CCAs) – the first such units in Toa Payoh.

Residents will also have access to amenities including a supermarket, shops and a food court, playgrounds, fitness corners, community gardens and sky terraces.

From the November 2026 BTO sales exercise, the eligibility age for CCAs will also be lowered from 65 to 55.

Mr Chee said this would "open up housing and care options to more seniors and give them more time to plan ahead".

CCAs combine senior-friendly housing with care and social support, allowing seniors to live independently while having access to additional help when needed.

Mr Chee also described the mix of housing types at Toa Payoh Hillside as "important and deliberate".

"We want our HDB towns to remain inclusive communities, where Singaporeans of different ages and backgrounds can live alongside one another," he said.

The CCA block will be directly connected to an Active Ageing Centre, Residents' Network Centre and precinct pavilion, with sheltered access to Caldecott MRT station.

Senior-friendly features, including coloured wayfinding cues and grab bars along common corridors, will also be included.

MORE GREEN SPACES, BETTER CONNECTIVITY

Beyond the new homes and commercial amenities, Toa Payoh West will also include new green and recreational spaces.

One of these is a 1.2ha wellness park, which will be connected to the mixed-use development via a plaza space.

The park will have nature-themed playgrounds, a jogging track and fitness stations, including facilities designed to help seniors improve their strength, mobility and balance. Also planned are quieter spaces such as a butterfly trail, sensory alcove and rain gardens.

A Central Green Valley, comprising a series of parks and precinct greens, will run through Toa Payoh West and connect homes to key amenities.

A 15m-wide community corridor lined with trees will also provide a shaded walking route between Caldecott MRT station and Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, with pockets of public seating.

The upcoming North-South Corridor is also expected to improve connectivity, with opportunities for better walking and cycling links and more greenery at street level.

Works are also currently underway for the Toa Payoh Integrated Development near the existing town centre, which is on track for completion by 2030.

It will bring together sports and recreation, healthcare, learning, greenery and community facilities.

Mr Chee said the government takes a whole-town approach to rejuvenation rather than looking at individual housing projects in isolation.

"When we upgrade our towns, we take the opportunity to not only enhance the infrastructure, but also introduce new homes and amenities so that our towns remain attractive places to live for all generations," he said.

Mr Chee also encouraged residents to view the plans and share their feedback with HDB and the People's Association.

The Toa Payoh West master plan exhibition will be held at HDB Hub Level 1 Gallery from Oct 31 to Nov 2.

Selected exhibits will remain on display at the same location until mid-2027.

该地区首个组屋项目 Toa Payoh Hillside 将于 2026 年 11 月的销售活动中提供约 1600 套组屋。

新加坡：未来十年，大巴窑西将新建 6000 多套住宅，这是新加坡最古老的公共住宅区之一的下一阶段改造计划的一部分。

建屋发展局（HDB）周六（10月31日）表示，新社区将主要由公共住房组成，并伴有一些私人住房。

开发工程将包括在加利谷地铁站附近建设新的商业、社区和休闲设施群。

该机构表示，这些设施将构成大巴窑的第二个“心脏”，与大巴窑中心现有的城镇中心相辅相成。

国家发展部长徐芳达于周六在建屋发展局中心举行的“大巴窑西总体规划展览”开幕式上宣布了这些计划。

新中心将包括一个集住宅和Toa Payoh首个购物中心于一体的综合用途开发项目，同时，该地区的学校建设计划也在研究中。

根据总体规划，首个预购组屋项目 Toa Payoh Hillside 将于 2026 年 11 月开始销售。

该项目毗邻加利谷地铁站，将提供约 1600 套公寓，分布在 5 栋 31 至 43 层高的住宅楼中。

这些将包括 590 套两房式灵活组屋、580 套四房式组屋、约 230 套公共租赁组屋和 260 套社区护理公寓（CCA）——这是大巴窑的首批此类单位。

居民还可以使用包括超市、商店和美食广场、游乐场、健身角、社区花园和空中露台在内的各种便利设施。

从 2026 年 11 月的预购组屋销售活动开始，CCA 的资格年龄也将从 65 岁降低到 55 岁。

Chee先生表示，这将“为更多老年人提供住房和护理选择，并让他们有更多时间提前规划”。

CCA 将适合老年人的住房与护理和社会支持相结合，使老年人能够独立生活，并在需要时获得额外帮助。

Chee 先生还形容大巴窑山坡住宅区的各种房屋类型是“重要且经过深思熟虑的”。

他说：“我们希望我们的组屋区保持包容性社区的地位，让不同年龄和背景的新加坡人能够和睦相处。”

CCA大楼将直接与活跃老龄化中心、居民网络中心和社区活动中心相连，并可通过有遮蔽的通道前往加利谷地铁站。

此外，还将增设适合老年人的设施，包括彩色导向标识和公共走廊的扶手。

更多绿地，更佳的连通性

除了新建住宅和商业设施外，大巴窑西区还将包括新的绿色休闲空间。

其中一个项目是占地 1.2 公顷的健康公园，它将通过广场空间与综合用途开发项目相连。

公园将设有自然主题游乐场、慢跑道和健身站，其中包括旨在帮助老年人增强力量、行动能力和平衡能力的设施。此外，公园还计划打造一些更为静谧的空间，例如蝴蝶小径、感官休憩区和雨水花园。

一条由一系列公园和绿地组成的中央绿谷将贯穿大巴窑西区，并将住宅与主要配套设施连接起来。

一条宽 15 米、绿树成荫的社区走廊，将为加利谷地铁站和大巴窑 1 巷之间提供一条荫凉的步行路线，并设有多个公共座椅区。

即将建成的南北走廊预计也将改善交通连接，为步行和自行车出行提供更好的途径，并在街道层面增加更多绿化。

目前，大巴窑综合发展项目也在现有城镇中心附近进行建设，预计将于 2030 年竣工。

它将把体育和娱乐、医疗保健、教育、绿化和社区设施整合在一起。

Chee先生表示，政府采取的是全城复兴的方针，而不是孤立地看待单个住房项目。

他说：“当我们升级改造城镇时，我们不仅借此机会改善基础设施，还引入新的住房和便利设施，使我们的城镇对每一代人来说都是宜居之地。”

Chee先生也鼓励居民查看规划方案，并向建屋发展局和人民协会反馈意见。

大巴窑西区总体规划展览将于10月31日至11月2日在建屋发展局中心1楼画廊举行。

部分展品将在同一地点展出至 2027 年年中。
