The 2011 Singapore Concept Plan proposed the development of the Greater Southern Waterfront. This involves the relocation of the city terminals and Pasir Panjang Terminal to Tuas, freeing up the land there. This means that there are development opportunities for a new waterfront city. It extends from Pasir Panjang to Marina East and will be transformed into a new major gateway and location for urban living along Singapore’s Southern coast. The opportunities are endless, and the plan has not been completely cast in stone yet. However, some ideas include creating a new district with ‘Live, Work and Play’ in mind, extending the city to the South, public network spaces expansion, capitalising on blue assets, creating a continuous waterfront, and connecting green and open spaces.
With the development of the Greater Southern Waterfront, Avenue South Residence presents an opportunity to invest in a core city centre development with huge potential. Coupled with the fact that it is in a prime location and has an MRT station within walking distance, this development has much potential for both homebuyers and investors alike.
