Two new HDB projects in Queenstown’s Dawson Estate are nearing completion and the first batch of residents are expected to obtain their keys at the end of February, according to media reports.
Known as SkyVille@Dawson (pictured) and SkyTerrace@Dawson, these two developments will offer a total of 1,718 premium flats, including 105 studio apartments, 202 five-roomers, 270 three-room units and 1,141 four-room flats.
Notably, some of the four and five-room flats at both projects are paired with studio apartments for the elderly, allowing multi-generational families to live together. Designed as two separate apartments, these units have inter-connecting doors so that families can live close together while maintaining privacy.
Overall, there are 65 paired units at SkyTerrace, accounting for fewer than 10 percent of the total units available.
Designed with the elderly in mind, these studio apartments are equipped with grab bars, alarm systems, bigger switches and ramps for wheelchair users.
The 43-storey SkyTerrace also offers a mix of three- to five-room apartments including loft units with floor-to-ceiling windows facing Keppel Harbour.
Under HDB’s Remaking Our Heartland initiative, Dawson will get five additional housing projects by 2020. The authorities are also planning new commercial facilities there, such as childcare centres, markets and hawker centres.
