\nThis comes as the government targets to have over 90 percent of households within walking distance to a park under its 2019 Draft Master Plan.
\nSingapore\u2019s longest river, Kallang River is set to be revitalised with the introduction of new homes, work places, recreation and community spaces along the waterfront.
\nThe Urban Redevelopment Authority revealed that both public and private housing \u201cwill be introduced in precincts along the river\u201d.
\nThis comes as the government targets to have over 90 percent of households within walking distance to a park under its 2019 Draft Master Plan.
\nThe Kallang Industrial Estate, for instance, will be transformed into a mixed-use precinct, while Kampong Bugis is envisioned to become a residential and recreational precinct supporting active mobility and environmental sustainability.
\nThe Kallang Riverside Park, on the other hand, will be transformed into a waterfront park.
\nAnd with the Active Beautiful, Clean (ABC) Waters Programme improvements from Bishan Road to Braddell Road set to be completed in the second quarter of 2019, residents can look forward to more rest areas, cantilevered decks as well as a pavilion within the waterfront.

\n\u201cIn the longer-term, the larger area around Kallang Riverside will be developed into a mixed-use lifestyle hub. In the interim, the conserved old Kallang Airport area will first be made available for a variety of sports, leisure and community uses.\u201d
\nPlans for infrastructure improvements will also be carried out from next year along the Kallang River \u2013 which is currently divided by major expressways and roads \u2013 to connect towns and encourage walking and cycling.
\nThe works will consist of improved or new crossings at strategic locations such as CTE, PIE, Kallang Bahru, Serangoon-Bendeemer, Sims Avenue and Upper Boon Keng.
\nA new circular walking and cycling loop, which traces Kallang Airport\u2019s original circular airfield, will also be introduced to connect the waterfront across Stadium Boulevard and Nicoll Highway.
\nMeanwhile, more sporting and community facilities will be introduced at the \u2018Kallang Alive!\u2019 Sports Hub area to \u201cstrengthen its standing as an inclusive sporting precinct\u201d.
\nThe Jalan Benaan Kapal waterfront will also feature an active community space, with park connectors, lookout points and a multi-generational \u2018enabling\u2019 gym.
\nGiven the government\u2019s transformation plans for Kallang River, savvy buyers flocked to acquire units at Selangor Dredging Board\u2019s latest development project within the area.
\nJui Residences saw over 40 percent of its units snapped up to date, with prices starting from $1,650 per sq ft (psf).
