Why is it good to live near Paya Lebar Central?

Way back in 2008, the government of Singapore came out with a comprehensive master plan to develop land all over Singapore. The master plan encompasses new commercial centers, good quality of living, recreation and leisure, and conservation. Paya Lebar Central was one area identified for key growth in commercial business and culture.

Paya Lebar Central is part of URA’s larger decentralization strategy in providing alternatives for businesses to move away from the central business district and to create jobs closer to home for majority of employees. This will help business owners reduce their operating costs and provides convenience to employees getting to work and back. With this plan, it will indirectly boost the Singapore Property prices around the area.
