Values and Objectives
• Transform the 4 parcels into a single integrated mixed-use development with uses that complements the neighborhood and meets their needs, i.e. a proper transportation hub for intercity buses, residential (especially affordable housing), offices, commercial, etc. Incorporate the proposed plans for Parcel B into the development and plan it as a connector between Little India and the rest of the new development.
• Integration of the new development with the different characters of the surrounding 3 neighborhoods through urban design and adhering to densities required by zoning.
• Enhance area connectivity as well as beyond
▪ Give the bus terminal proper infrastructure it now lacks. Expand the terminal into a hub for all intercity bus services to Malaysia
▪ Connect this development with the neighborhoods and the existing public transportation network, in fact let this new development be a central node and connector, not just for intercity bus transport, but also for the 3 neighborhoods.
▪ Take advantage of the North South Expressway Corridor (NSC) entrance/exit as a direct highway connection towards northern Singapore and Malaysia.
• Take advantage of the Rochor River to add waterfront development as a complement to the site’s urban design.
• Increase green & outdoor public/park space, which is currently lacking in this area, on the Rochor River and on the roofs of the development
Redeveloping the Queen Street Bus Terminal Site, Singapore as Queen’s Crossing
