Abandoned HDBs in Red Hill undergoing redeveloping, although they still look new.

Hi,

recently receive a piece of information from my sis's fren saying that there is a blk of flat,Blk 112, at Tiong Bahru that is empty. It is those square shape (plan view) 25/26 storey flat. Shld be belonging to older generation of flats. But the physical appearance of the flat is clean n new. Beside blk 112 is another blk of the same design, but fully occupied. They are both beside the Bukit Merah West NPC.

People were seen moving in, but not for long, they will move out.  And now, it is totally empty.

I have tried asking HDB is there going to be an upgrading or are they demolishing it and they replied that it is actually a rental flat. Not for sale.

maybe that explains why people move in for a while, and then leave. Or maybe there could be another reason which they won't disclose.

Just for information, in case ur might be interested to check it out when free.


Post a follow-up on this mystery here.

 HI Jovian,

Thanks so very much for this piece of information.

WE would like to assure you that this place is definitely not haunted, at least that's not the reason why it's left empty by HDB.

It's empty for a very simple reason.. because it's slated for future development.

HDB do not redevelope all blks within the same area even if all the blocks are the same age.

I Know because I was involved ion a construction project in Tebans Gardens, where existing block was torn down to make way for new blocks and a shopping centers. Even now there are still empty blocks there, side by side with some blocks that are occupied. And some other blocks were even upgraded to match the new blocks.

So you see, just like human, even HDB blocks though from the same age and area, will not get same future or treatment.

regards
