The developer’s brochure describes a short ride to Mapletree Business City, VivoCity and the CBD, and the research campuses of Kent Ridge and one-north are closer still. For a household with one partner at the hospital and another in the city, the combination of a walk to Haw Par Villa station and a single train on the completed Circle Line is the practical attraction.
