SINGAPORE – To turn Paterson into a new neighbourhood just outside the Orchard Road precinct, roads will be built across the street from Ion Orchard mall by the end of 2030, connecting Orchard Boulevard, Grange Road and Paterson Road.
This is part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) plans to convert the Paterson area into a mixed-use neighbourhood with new homes, shops and public spaces.
It announced in its latest Draft Master Plan in June 2025 that about 1,000 new private homes will be developed in Paterson, alongside a mixed-use hub above Orchard MRT station with retail and office spaces.
The new roads will have two lanes in each direction, according to tender documents published by URA on the government procurement portal GeBiz on March 24.
According to the masterplan, the new roads have been named Paterson Rise and Paterson Street.
The URA targets to award the construction tender to build these roads by the end of 2026.
The authority said in the tender documents that the works have to be completed four years after the awarded firm gains possession of the site.
The works also involve the construction of new road junctions and pedestrian crossings at the intersections of the new roads with Grange Road, Orchard Boulevard and Paterson Road.
