Consider ideas such as HDB homes, wellness resort for Tyersall Avenue near Singapore Botanic Gardens  

[SINGAPORE] Could some new luxury low-rise apartments or landed homes be coming up soon in prime District 10 near the Singapore Botanic Gardens? Such private homes are likely to be well-received by buyers as they will sit in a desirable established residential enclave.

The recent announcement of the land-swop agreement between the Singapore government and the Regent of Johor (ROJ) Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim paves the way for the ROJ to develop land in the Holland Road area.

The land swop involves the Johor royal exchanging a 13 hectare (ha) site (Plot C, in map), located closer to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, for an 8.5 ha site (Plot A) that belongs to the state.
