\nA 3.7ha brownfield site bounded by Alexandra Road, Alexandra Canal and Prince Charles Crescent will be redeveloped for future public housing.
\nIn a joint release issued on Wednesday (15 December), the Housing Development Board (HDB) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) revealed that the site will add around 1,500 flats to Singapore\u2019s public housing landscape.
\nTo facilitate the development, the Government will acquire the 0.23ha land currently occupied by Alexandra Post Office as well as SingPost\u2019s tenant.
\n\u201cThis will allow for more residential units to be built to meet the strong demand for housing, and enable a more optimal planning and design of the public housing projects,\u201d said the authorities.
\nSLA has gazetted the acquisition of the affected land on Wednesday (15 December), they said, adding that SLA and HDB will \u201cwork closely with SingPost and its tenant and assist them through the acquisition process\u201d.
\nSituated within the mature estate of Bukit Merah, the site was home to low-rise public rental flats as well as a market and shops that were eventually demolished in the 1990s. It was later earmarked for residential development in 1998.
\n\u201cHDB will develop the site in the near term, to meet the strong demand for public housing,\u201d read the joint release.

\nThe new housing projects at Alexandra \u201cwill add to the good geographical spread of public housing to meet the different needs of Singaporeans, including young families who want to live near their parents in the area for better mutual care and support\u201d.
\n\u201cThe site\u2019s location along the Alexandra Park Connector offers easy connectivity to the city, on top of the recreational offerings along this corridor,\u201d they added.
\nFuture residents will be served by the Redhill MRT station, which is about 400 m away.
\nHDB said it is currently drawing up detailed plans for the public housing projects at Alexandra Road\/ Prince Charles Crescent and will share more details once ready.
