GREEN FEATURES
The development will include roof gardens, rain gardens and trails that snake through greenery, and a green corridor.
The trails that lead through the estate are meant to enhance residents’ well-being and to provide connectivity throughout.
A 1.6km restorative trail, for example, will link residents to Ulu Pandan Park Connector.
The therapeutic trail will have a therapeutic garden where residents can garden or enjoy nature. The trail was also designed to allow users, particularly those with dementia and their caregivers, to navigate easily and safely.
Other green features include a terraced rain garden, which will mitigate the level difference between Commonwealth Avenue West and Ulu Pandan estate.
The estate will also have a 1.2ha park that will be connected to HDB blocks. The park, which also features a walking trail, will retain most of its original flora and fauna, with enhancements to an existing natural stream that connects Commonwealth Ave West and Ulu Pandan Canal.
HDB is also working with the Public Utilities Board and the National Parks Board to establish a green corridor which will facilitate wildlife movement along Sungei Ulu Pandan.
