These requirements were then rolled out to all projects designed from 2016.

The Dawson developments will boast green spaces on different levels, such as ground-level precinct gardens to pockets of green areas on roof gardens and sky gardens.

The estate was designed to have extensive rooftop greenery and a "military-inspired" theme to reflect its history as the former Keat Hong Camp site. Existing mature trees will also be retained. From 2016, all new HDB developments are required to have a minimum of 4.5 GnPR. This means greenery will have to be at least 4.5 times the site area.
