IN A push to adapt to the modern needs of Singaporeans, a community library, air-conditioned bus interchange and even a shopping mall have been added to the list of public amenities at a new government housing estate.

The 40-storey integrated complex – located at the former Clementi bus interchange – will be the first of its kind for public housing here, said the Housing Board, which yesterday called for tenders for the sale of the complex’s 25,000 sq m mall.

It will be ready by August next year, with 388 HDB flats – ranging from three-bedroom to five-bedroom units – on offer. Continue reading

New Clementi town centre

CLEMENTI Town Centre will get a brand new look next year when it is transformed.

When the facelift, which started in 2006 is completed, it will have a new 40-storey complex at the town centre, comprising a five-storey shopping mall, an air-conditioned bus interchange linked to the Clementi MRT Station, a community library, a new Town Council Office, and 388 new HDB flats.

‘This is the first development with public housing, commercial facilities and a bus interchange together in one complex,’ said a statement from the Housing Board on Thursday, giving an update on works in the town centre.

‘The new retail mall will provide a new buzz and add vibrancy to the Clementi Town Centre. It will also draw in shoppers and residents, and create more business opportunities for the existing HDB shops.

‘Besides providing Clementi residents with a refreshing suburban shopping experience, the retail mall is set to become the latest attraction in the western part of Singapore.’

The retail mall, tentatively named Clementi Mall, will be operated and managed by the private sector. It was launched for sale on Thursday by open tender.

Interested buyers can approach HDB’s appointed marketing agent, Jones Lang Laselle (JLL) for more details.
