    Default Holland V to be extended, with mixed development project

    Plans to extend Holland Village are afoot, with a 6 ha extension to be anchored by a mixed development, which will be equipped with a basement parking station.

    The Draft Master Plan 2013 of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has also identified two residential plots, which have not yet been designated for private or public housing. Together, the plots are expected to yield about 1,500 units.

    Of the three development plots, the mixed-use one, to include private housing, will likely be the first to be rolled out; development is likely to begin by 2015.

    The developer who wins the tender for this site will be required to build a basement carpark big enough to serve Holland Village. The number of lots required is still being worked out.

    The extension, which abuts the existing Holland Village, encompasses the six HDB housing blocks vacated under the Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme in 2011, their adjacent land parcels (including the to-be-closed Buona Vista Swimming Complex) and the carpark now serving Holland Village.

    An access road will be built adjacent to the Holland Village extension area, to channel traffic away from the centre of Holland Village to the car park.

    The HDB is to design and develop pedestrian-oriented streets and new public spaces, including urban plazas and a community park.

    A network of pedestrian walkways will be built so that the surrounding public housing developments will continue to enjoy easy access to Holland Village and the Circle Line MRT station.

    Holland Village is one of three Singapore neighbourhoods identified as places of character and charm, the atmosphere of which is to be retained. (Serangoon Garden and Jalan Kayu are the other two.)

    In the case of Holland Village, the intimate streetscapes, urban village vibe, and eclectic mix of retail shops and services will be preserved.

    The new buildings to come up in the area will be scaled sensitively to sit with the rest of Holland Village. New buildings will therefore go from low-rise to medium-rise the further they are from the existing Holland Village; the residential towers to be developed on the residential plots will be set back so as not to overwhelm the human scale of the area.

    The extended Holland Village will be bounded by Holland Drive, Holland Road, and Holland Avenue.

    How will this affect prices and rentals at the old retail strata shops in Holland Road Shopping Centre?
