    THE first residential plot of land in post-independence Singapore which reached the end of its lease is being readied for a public housing development as part of rejuvenation efforts in Kallang.

    The area was home to terrace houses whose 60-year leases expired in December 2020. The houses have been vacated and the land returned to the state.

    On Friday (Oct 13), the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said: “The proposed development will support demand for housing and allow future residents to tap the site’s proximity to amenities and transport nodes, such as Kallang MRT and Geylang Bahru MRT.”
