The Land Parcel is located within Woodlands Regional Centre which is envisioned as the Northern Gateway to Singapore and the main commercial hub in the North region.
There will be two distinctive precincts within the Woodlands Regional Centre – Woodlands Central and Woodlands North Coast. Woodlands Central, where the Land Parcel is located at, is envisioned as a walkable, pedestrian-centric regional retail and employment hub serving the surrounding residents, as well as those in the North region.
Woodlands North Coast is envisioned as a unique waterfront destination offering a wide range of employment and investment opportunities, with a mix of business, residences and lifestyle uses, set within a lush green environment.
Woodlands Central is served by the existing Woodlands MRT Station and Bus Interchange. In 2019, it will become an interchange station with the ThomsonEast Coast Line (TEL), and additionally provide for direct connection to the City. It will also be one stop away from the Woodlands North Station, which will interchange with the future cross-border rail link to Johor Bahru.
Woodlands Central is also easily accessible via major roads like Seletar Expressway, Bukit Timah Expressway and the planned North South Corridor.
As part of Singapore’s blueprint for sustainable development, Woodlands Regional Centre is envisaged as a sustainable, high-density and mixed-use district. A key initiative being implemented for the area is for all developments to be designed to a minimum Green Mark standard of GoldPLUS rating and to include extensive greenery replacement.
The Land Parcel is located along Woodlands Avenue 2, immediately adjacent to Causeway Point and close to Woodlands Civic Centre, providing access to amenities such as retail, food & beverage and entertainment uses. It is also close to the upcoming commercial office development Woods Square.
With its central location above the Woodlands MRT TEL Station, and near the Woodlands MRT North-South Line (NSL) Station and Regional Bus Interchange, the Land Parcel has the potential to be developed into a distinctive mixed-use development. The development will be connected to the adjacent developments via a planned comprehensive pedestrian network of at-grade, underground and elevated walkways with barrier-free provisions allowing for easy access to existing and future amenities within the district.
Companies that take up office spaces in the future development on the Land Parcel can tap on the nearby HDB towns in Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun and Choa Chu Kang for their potential workforce, as well as business opportunities in the nearby industrial clusters at Woodlands, Senoko and the future agri-tech hub in Sungei Kadut, and the upcoming commercial developments in Woodlands Regional Centre.
Workers and residents of the future mixed-use development can leverage the convenient public transport infrastructure and proximity to amenities within and near the development, while retail operators can benefit from the large catchment of nearby residents, as well as the high footfall resulting from the direct connection to the MRT station.
Residents, workers and visitors can look forward to the opening of Woodlands TEL station in 2019, which will be connected to the Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange upon the completion of its upgrading.
The sale of the land parcel above the Woodlands TEL station is for a mixed-use development with office, residential and retail space. This development will offer more opportunities for residents in the North region to work closer to homes and enjoy a wide range of F&B and entertainment amenities as well as a quality living environment.
It will also contribute greater vibrancy to Woodlands Central, following the completion of Woods Square, a commercial development with 58,000sqm GFA of office space, in 2019.
The land parcel is seamlessly connected to the Woodlands MRT station, where commuters can access both the Thomson-East Coast and North-South MRT Lines. It is also easily accessible via the Seletar Expressway (SLE), Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and the upcoming North-South Corridor, Singapore’s first integrated transport corridor featuring cycling trunk routes and express bus services between Woodlands and the city.
The site will enjoy excellent public transport connectivity, with the upcoming TEL providing a new direct connection between Woodlands to the Orchard Road and Downtown business districts.
The future development will plug into an extensive network of comfortable connections for pedestrians and cyclists alike, linking people from the heart of Woodlands Central to other developments in the area, all the way to the rustic Woodlands waterfront. From there, cyclists can also connect to the round island route. New public spaces throughout the precinct will offer a lively pedestrian experience with an array of amenities for people to hang out at and enjoy. Together, this car-lite vision for the district will ensure a vibrant, sustainable built environment for workers, shoppers and residents alike.

11 Dec 2018
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has released the first White site in Woodlands Regional Centre for sale today under the Reserve List of the 2nd half 2018 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme.
Planned to be seamlessly connected to the existing Woodlands MRT station, this 2.75ha mixed-use site can potentially generate some 115,000 m2 of gross floor area (GFA) for office, residential, retail and entertainment uses and become a distinctive development in Woodlands Regional Centre.
Woodlands Regional Centre – key commercial hub in the North
Comprising 100 hectares of land, Woodlands Regional Centre will be developed into a sizeable commercial hub and bring jobs closer to homes in the North region.
Over the next 15 years, Woodlands Regional Centre will become home to new spaces for industry, research and development, learning and innovation. It is well connected to other parts of Singapore via the existing North-South Line (NSL) and the upcoming Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL).
Woodlands Regional Centre, which comprises the two complementary precincts of Woodlands Central and Woodlands North Coast, will provide attractive and accessible commercial facilities and amenities to support many businesses in the northern part of Singapore. This will include the upcoming high density agri-tech hub in Sungei Kadut and the surrounding food manufacturing cluster.
Woodlands Central will be transformed into a bustling commercial and community node with a mix of office, retail, residential and attractive public spaces for live, work and play. New public spaces planned for the precinct can be enjoyed by more than 27,000 households in the vicinity. Woodlands Central will also serve as a community gathering point for the residents in Woodlands and the rest of the North region.
In addition, the mixed-use business cluster in Woodlands North Coast, including future industrial and business park spaces, is envisioned to provide flexible work spaces that encourage experimentation and innovation and are geared towards the needs of both SMEs and MNCs.
When fully developed, Woodlands Regional Centre will have about 700,000m2 of commercial space and offer approximately 100,000 new jobs.
An overview of the existing and future developments in Woodlands Regional Centre is appended:

White Site at Woodlands Central
Strategically located above the upcoming Woodlands TEL station, the White site will enjoy direct connection to both the TEL and the NSL lines. The sale of this site will help catalyse the continued development of Woodlands Regional Centre.
At least 45,000 m2 of the maximum permissible GFA of the development will be set aside for office use. The remaining GFA can be for additional office, retail, entertainment and residential uses. These should offer a range of housing and lifestyle options well integrated with attractive landscaped public plazas and gathering spaces that will further enhance the vibrancy and street level experience of Woodlands Central.
The new development will have a direct basement connection to the future Woodlands TEL station, providing shoppers and commuters with easy access to the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line that can bring them to the Central Business District, Marina Bay and the shopping, dining and entertainment options at Orchard Road. Through a comprehensive network of pedestrian links and cycling paths, the future development will be seamlessly connected to the surrounding amenities and other developments within Woodlands Regional Centre.
