URA said the estate will be developed over time, starting with areas closer to existing transport nodes along Dunearn Road – where Sixth Avenue MRT station is located. URA said the estate will be planned as a “10-minute neighbourhood”, with most amenities such as shops, community and recreational facilities and parks within a 10-minute walk of future homes.

Centrally located areas within the estate, such as those closer to MRT stations, will be used for high-rise housing to allow more to live near transport nodes, said URA.
