As part of the Housing Development Board's (HDB) “Remaking Our Heartland” rejuvenation plans, Yishun, Dawson Estate and East Coast were earmarked as three estates, in the population white paper released on January ths year, to undergo major upgrading works.
For Yishun, plans include having an integrated transport hub by 2020. This integrated development will boost an air-conditioned bus interchange, residences, commercial retail spaces and the first community club in a mall. If successful, it will be the fourth integrated development with a bus interchange by HDB, and will also be the largest.
