SINGAPORE: A new integrated community hub in Yishun has reached a key construction milestone with the completion of its superstructure and is on track to open next year, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) said on Saturday (Apr 18).\u00a0<\/p>\n
When completed, Chong Pang City will have a community club, hawker centre and market, along with swimming pools, a gym and gym activity rooms, a playground, a multi-purpose hall, a sheltered community plaza and a sheltered rooftop jogging track.<\/p>\n
It will also have a supermarket, dining options, and educational and recreational spaces.<\/p>\n
The nine-storey development will have about 4,200 sqm of commercial space, with tenders for these units launching in the second quarter of this year.<\/p>\n
The community hub has been designed with inclusive and senior-friendly features, including wheelchair-accessible ramps at swimming pools and changing rooms equipped with electric height-adjustable changing beds.<\/p>\n
Chong Pang City will also be the first government-integrated development to receive the Platinum Super Low Energy certification, with energy savings of up to 40 per cent compared to conventional buildings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sustainability features include photovoltaic panels and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The solar photovoltaic system is expected to generate 600,000kWh of renewable energy annually, equivalent to powering about 120 four-room flats for a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Water-efficient fittings and rain harvesting systems are also expected to reduce water consumption, SLA said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
