Three new sites in Jurong for en-bloc redevelopment
THREE sites in the Jurong area have been selected for the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers), which demolishes old blocks and offers residents replacement flats nearby.
They are Blocks 5 to 10 in Yung Ping Road/Yung Kuang Road; Blocks 180, 181, 182 and 184 in Boon Lay Drive; and Blocks 216, 217, 219 and 220 in Boon Lay Avenue.
The blocks are between 30 and 33 years old, comprising 1,873 sold flats.
The Housing and Development Board (HDB) will build about 630 units of new Studio Apartments, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room replacement flats at Kang Ching Road.
These are for flat owners of Blocks 5 to 10 in Yung Ping Road/Yung Kuang Road.
HDB will also offer about 220 units of available 3-room, 4-room and 5-room flats in Tah Ching Road as additional rehousing options.
The replacement flats should be ready by the end of 2010. They are located near Taman Jurong Neighbourhood Centre.
As for the affected flat owners in Boon Lay Drive and Boon Lay Avenue, HDB will offer a total of 1,635 units of new 4-room and 5-room premium flats at Jurong West Street 64 and Jurong West Street 93.
The flat owners will also be offered 394 units of existing 3-room and 4-room flats at established precincts in Jurong West Town.
As part of the redevelopment of the Sers sites, the 8 rental HDB shops at Block 183 Boon Lay Drive and Block 218 Boon Lay Avenue will be cleared.
Tenants will get an ex-gratia payment of $60,000 per tenancy and a 10 per cent discount on successful bids for other HDB rental commercial properties
