Public and private housing could be built on both sides of the spine, and it would be a distinctive and attractive heritage feature unique to Paya Lebar, said PM Lee.

The amenities in the area, the connectivity and (the whole town) will be much improved, making it attractive,” Mr Lee Sze Teck said. This will enable the Government to better optimise land use when height restrictions are lifted, allowing taller flats to be built, she added. “By the time they are able to launch a site for sale, it's definitely after 2030. “Maybe in that review, we might see some changes to the land use zoning or even plot ratio.

Mr Lee Sze Teck said: “We think that an MRT station will likely be close to the ‘central spine’ because that's probably where there will be a lot of amenities, activities, placemaking and stuff located.” Mr Ismail Gafoor, chief executive officer of PropNex Realty, said: ”While we do not have specific details on current height restrictions across Hougang, Marine Parade and Punggol, we anticipate that more high-rise developments — perhaps 30 to more than 40 storeys in height — may be built with the lifting of height restrictions in the future.

But for now, we don't think there will be any effect on the property prices for homes in the area,” he said. He estimated that 150,000 new homes will be built in the area, which is roughly the number of homes in Punggol and Sengkang combined. “Once the air base moves out, we can also lift some of the building height restrictions around it, such as in Hougang, Marine Parade or Punggol,” he said, adding that these areas can be redeveloped to include more amenities and maximise their use.

In land-scarce Singapore, it’s only natural for citizens to worry about the country running out of space for new homes. The initial design of the Paya Lebar Airbase runway accounted for the direction of the winds in the area. According to PM Lee, the Ministry of National Development estimates that around 150,000 new homes – both public and private – can be constructed on each side of the new central spine. Additionally, the previous building height restrictions in that area will be lifted, leaving authorities with the leeway to build upwards.
