Site Introduction

The chosen site is currently 4 separate but adjacent land parcels: the Queen Street Bus Terminal (A), two large parking lots (B & C) and a construction wasteland (D) which will be eventually cleaned up. Public housing is also proposed on B. The Rochor River, now a stormwater canal, runs in between A and B. The land is flat. A

The 4 parcels combined is about 12 acres or 4.9 hectares, located between the Bugis, Little India and Kampong Glam neighborhoods of downtown Singaporewhich is a dense, busy, urban, mostly commercial area.

B C D

The site is adjacent to multiple MRT (subway/metro) lines and stations (especially Bugis and Jalan Besar stations), as well as several public bus lines. It is also next to the future entrance of the underground North South Expressway Corridor (NSC). This entrance used to be the site of public housing, which was demolished for the NS, leaving less affordable housing for the area.
