WE REFER to the letter, ‘Treasure the new: One-North project’ (Oct 13). We are glad Mr Christopher Chan has great interest in the development of One-North and he will be happy to know that plans are taking shape, as shared with him in June this year.
Several new developments will soon be seen at the Buona Vista Sub-Regional Centre, some of which are already under construction. Some of the new developments have been highlighted in URA’s draft Master Plan 2008 exhibition. For example, the existing Buona Vista MRT station will be coupled with the Buona Vista CCL station and, together, both stations will function as a strategic transport node to serve the Sub-Regional Centre. The new Buona Vista station is part of the Circle Line which is expected to be open from 2010.
Developments to position One-North as the innovation and R&D hub are progressing well. Announcements on upcoming milestone projects will be made when they are ready to be launched. The vision of One-North goes beyond the physical infrastructure - it also encompasses the less readily visible ’software’ initiatives behind the building of this innovative and experimental community.
We would like to invite Mr Chan to visit the One-North website (one-north.sg) or the One-North Gallery @ Fusionopolis for up-to-date information on this 200ha master planned development.
