This public housing scheme will be built by Singapore's Housing &
Development Board (HDB), and is currently scheduled for completion in
October 2007. It is part of an urban renewal strategy to attract new
households into the city to rejuvenate the Tanjong Pagar area.

In view of the historical significance of the site as the place where the
first public housing blocks were built by HDB in the area in 1963/4, the
development is envisaged to be a landmark housing development. It can be
built up to 50 storeys high, making it the tallest public housing in
Singapore.

Public housing in Singapore is no longer low-cost housing but rather
quality affordable housing. The Competition calls for fresh, innovative and
new approaches to designing high-density and very high-rise public housing
to optimise land use and meet the lifestyle needs and rising aspirations of
the residents. As public housing is a subsidised form of housing, the
public housing development shall also be cost-effective in offering the
best public housing available within the given budget.

The winner of the Competition will be appointed as the Project Architect
for the development.
