URA unveils Woodlands commercial site for sale

58,492 sqm must be alloted for office use.

According to a release, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) launched a land parcel in Woodlands Regional Centre for sale by public tender today. This is the first sale site in the Woodlands Regional Centre since the detailed plans were announced as part of the Draft Master Plan 2013 on 20 Nov 2013.

The land parcel at Woodlands Square is strategically located in the heart of Woodlands Central. It is within walking distance from the Woodlands MRT Station which will serve as an interchange between the North-South Line and future Thomson Line.

Existing developments in this district include the Woodlands Civic Centre and Causeway Point where amenities such as retail, food and beverage and entertainment uses are easily accessible.

In line with the plan for Woodlands Regional Centre to be developed as a major employment centre in the north of Singapore, the proposed development on the sale site will have at least 90% or 58,492 sqm of total GFA dedicated for office use. The remaining GFA can be set aside for complementary uses such as childcare centre, retail and food and beverage uses.

An extensive pedestrian network has also been planned to connect the sale site seamlessly to Causeway Point, the Woodlands Civic Centre, the existing MRT station and bus interchange, and the future Thomson Line MRT station in the vicinity.
