Singapore's oldest town is undergoing rapid development and redevelopment. By 2027, more than 5,000 new homes could be launched in Queenstown, according to details from an upcoming traffic study of the area.
In the light of the estate's property resurgence, a group is looking to save the first homes ever constructed by the Housing Board in Stirling Road, as HDB marks its 60th anniversary next year.
