The proposed residential community will have facilities such as a supermarket, shops, food court, children’s play area, fitness station, community garden and terrace.
By the November sales exercise, a change in the eligibility criteria for CCAs will be implemented to reduce the age limit from 65 to 55 years. These apartments combine senior-friendly housing with access to care and social support. The CCA block at Toa Payoh Hillside will have direct connections to an Active Ageing Centre, Residents' Network Centre and precinct pavilion, alongside sheltered access to Caldecott MRT station.
New Green Spaces and Community Facilities
Beyond residential construction, the master plan includes a 1.2-hectare wellness park featuring nature-themed playgrounds, jogging facilities and fitness stations. Dedicated features will support older residents in improving their strength, mobility and balance. A butterfly trail, sensory alcove and rain gardens are also planned.
A Central Green Valley will connect residential areas with parks and neighbourhood facilities. Additionally, a 15-metre-wide tree-lined community corridor will provide a shaded walking route between Caldecott MRT station and Lorong 1 Toa Payoh.
Plans also include a mixed-use development combining residential units with Toa Payoh's first shopping mall. The possibility of establishing a school in the neighbourhood is currently being studied.
The imminent North-South Corridor is anticipated to offer additional chances for improving the pathways for walking and biking.
