There are at least seven uncompleted BTO projects and 1 EC project in the Tampines North area. There is a dearth of amenities like a mall in the area ro serve the future needs of residents. The 1,190-unit mixed commercial and residential site at Tampines Ave 11 will inject much needed amenities to the area. The top bid may cross$1,000. However the huge site and quantum of more than $1 billion will likely attract consortiums to bid so as to share the risks.
