Pasir Ris residents now have a brand-new mall on their doorstep housing a yet-to-open polyclinic, and they will also get better transport links to the rest of the island with the opening of an integrated transport hub.
The new Pasir Ris Mall in Pasir Ris Central and its adjoining facilities are part of efforts to upgrade amenities and expand healthcare and transport facilities in the eastern neighbourhood.
The mall marks a major milestone in the rejuvenation of Pasir Ris town under HDB’s Remaking Our Heartland (ROH) programme, said Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean, speaking at the mall’s official opening on July 22.
The ROH programme aims to renew older estates to make the heartland more sustainable and vibrant. It was announced for Pasir Ris in 2017, an estate that saw its first flats built 35 years ago.
“As our town has developed, the needs of our residents have also evolved,” noted Mr Teo, who was joined by fellow Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MPs Desmond Tan and Sharael Taha, as well as representatives of the mall’s joint developers Allgreen Properties and Kerry Properties.
