To revamp or to remain?

To meet the growing demand for homes closer to the city center, Gillman Barracks, a historic site in Singapore, is under consideration for transformation into a new residential neighbourhood.

Since its establishment to house the Middlesex Regiment, Gillman Barracks has undergone significant transformations from serving as a base for the Singapore Armed Forces before transitioning into a vibrant arts and lifestyle hub in the 1990s.

The area's rich history and unique architecture, coupled with its proximity to lush green spaces, make it an attractive candidate for residential development.

Not forgetting the new BTO project in Yishun, to bring about 10,000 new homes. 

Nicholas Mak, Chief Research Officer, mogul.sg breaks it down for us.
