Executive Summary:
The Kallang Distripark site, spanning 13 hectares, is being considered for transformation into a major private housing precinct. If proposals under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Master Plan, amendment on Aug 14 2026, proceed, the site could yield 2,250–2,550 private homes, supported by a neighbourhood park, new roads, and commercial spaces. Lee Rubber Company-linked entities privately own Kallang Distripark. While parts of the site are freehold, other sections hold a 99-year lease that ends in 2067.
