\nThe multi-coloured residential blocks will be demolished to make way for the 21.5km long North-South Corridor.

\nMost of the residents at Rochor Centre have relocated, while the few remaining ones have until the end of this week to move out, according to the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in a report by TODAYonline.
\nThe iconic estate, known for its multi-coloured residential blocks, will be demolished to make way for the 21.5km long North-South Corridor, an expressway which will link the city centre with towns in northern Singapore.
\nOn Thursday (29 December), the HDB said nearly all the 567 households there have obtained the keys to their replacement flats, with 504 families opting to resettle at Kallang Trivista in Upper Boon Keng Road.
\nAlthough most of the residents have returned the keys to their flats in Rochor Centre, some have asked the authorities to extend the deadline, as they are not able to vacate their premises by year-end.
\nAmong them is housewife Shanel Yep, 38, who intends to relocate to a flat in Bendeemer before the Chinese New Year.
\n\u201cWe have considered their individual circumstances and will continue to work with them to vacate the units as soon as possible. For security reasons, we have advised the remaining residents to move out soon,\u201d said an HDB spokesman.
\nOnce all residents have moved out, the property will be handed over to the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
