Once slated for demolition, one Housing Board block in East Coast Road could instead be repurposed for community or social use, or could even house new shops, after a recent decision by the authorities to retain the building.
Located across the road from Siglap Centre, the five-storey block is among a cluster of four low-rise HDB blocks that were set to be torn down after it was part of a Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers) project announced in 2011.
Instead, Block 1 East Coast Road will be retrofitted with new features, such as a new lift and staircase, and get a fresh lease of life, after the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on Sept 24 called a tender for consultants to oversee the building’s refurbishment.
