Parry Avenue

Pilot Private Assisted Living Development

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH), URA has launched a site at Parry Avenue for sale by public tender for a private assisted living development.

The pilot development will expand the range of housing-cum-care options to better cater to seniors’ diverse lifestyles, preferences and housing needs.

The Government would like to invite tenderers to propose innovative assisted living models that can provide a range of services (e.g. active ageing activities, housekeeping, regular care assessments) that support seniors’ changing needs.

Located within an existing residential enclave and well served by an array of amenities

Located within Rosyth Estate, the subject site offers a conducive environment for an assisted living development that enables its residents to live independently within an established residential neighbourhood.

The proposed development will include an upcoming neighbourhood park that facilitates interactions between residents and the wider community. The Land Parcel is located near dining and shopping amenities, such as Serangoon North Neighbourhood Centre and Heartland Mall.
