Facility expected to increase home values in district
THE future construction of a rail terminal in Woodlands has put the estate on track for brighter property prospects.
A station for the Rapid Transit System (RTS), which will link Singapore to JB Sentral in Johor Baru, will be be built near Republic Polytechnic in Woodlands.
The RTS is targeted to be completed by 2018 and to begin operations by 2019. The resulting improvement in connectivity for the Woodlands district, formerly seen as a far-flung northern suburb, could boost its long-term appeal to buyers and tenants, consultants say.
