The parcels of land are at Media Circle and Portsdown Road.

SINGAPORE - More high-rise housing is set to be built in one-north, to support the growing demand for homes in the business park.

Part of the land covered in the proposed amendments was formerly occupied by the Temasek Club, a social club for Singapore Armed Forces officers and their families. She said the land parcel zoned for residential use, subject to detailed planning, could possibly be used for new HDB flats. Ms Christine Sun, chief strategist and researcher at OrangeTee Group, said the commercial shops on the first floor of the developments will provide more amenities and dining options to residents in the area, which is not within walking distance of Buona Vista MRT station or the Star Vista shopping mall.

“It is also a distance from the nearest MRT station and housing estate. Many workers there need to commute to work and public transport is not that convenient,” said Mr Mak.
