Kampong Bugis: Model for fewer cars, sustainable water practices

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Thursday, 21 November 2013 in Property News

Development of the 18 ha of land may begin after 2016

Located at the convergence of two major waterways - Rochor Canal and Kallang River - the area has also been identified as a pilot area for a high-density, water-sustainable precinct. This means developments there will incorporate effective stormwater management and urban design features such as vegetated swales, bio-retention basins and detention ponds to manage rainwater runoff.

Development of the 18 hectares of land in Kampong Bugis may begin after 2016. Of this area, about 80 per cent will be given over to about 4,000 units of private housing.

Tentative plans drawn up for the area include garden settings with seamless pedestrian connectivity.

Kampong Bugis residents will be encouraged to use their cars less and take the MRT more often, in a pilot project. The area has two existing MRT stations nearby: Kallang and Lavender.

Water taxis may also be an alternative way to commute around the area.

No fences will be erected around the private-housing developments, so that members of the public can enjoy the waterfront more.

Such fenceless designs have been explored in other developments, such as the one-north residences and Robertson Quay, and are designed to encourage community interaction and increase pedestrian connectivity.

Property analysts have said in earlier reports that the waterfront setting stands the Kampong Bugis area in good stead with investors and home buyers. Homes with waterfront views may be priced at the higher end of the market.
