One of Singapore’s first suburban regional centres, as identified and developed by the URA, Tampines has certainly come a long way.
Over the years, Tampines has attracted a wide enough range of businesses and facilities that it is more or less self-sufficient. It is home to major financial institutions and office buildings, not one but three shopping malls, and a host of upscale lifestyle offerings and amenities. Not only does it serve its residents, Tampines is also a crucial commercial hub for residents of the East.
