The development will be the first of three in Ulu Pandan's eastern half, which will have about 3,000 BTO flats in total, the HDB said in a press release on Thursday .
While Ulu Pandan had been zoned for residential development since 2003, announcements to develop the area in 2020 raised concerns from nature groups and sparked a debate over balancing development with nature conservation. Even then, the HDB's plans for the eastern half of Ulu Pandan will still incorporate plenty of green features.
The trails that lead through the estate are meant to enhance residents' well-being and to provide connectivity throughout.The therapeutic trail will have a therapeutic garden where residents can garden or enjoy nature. The trail was also designed to allow users, particularly those with dementia and their caregivers, to navigate easily and safely.
HDB is also working with the Public Utilities Board and the National Parks Board to establish a green corridor which will facilitate wildlife movement along Sungei Ulu Pandan.As Singapore's first car-lite HDB precinct, Ulu Pandan will have roads at the perimeter of the precinct, segregated from the main pedestrian walkway. This will let residents move about safely on foot.
