The proposed development in the Project is to provide about 189 residential units and commercial/retail podium at the lower floors. Ancillary car parking spaces will be provided in a basement car park. Loading/unloading bay will be provided within the residential development on the ground floor. It may include other facilities and uses as required or approved by the TPB.
The existing In Ku Lane Refuse Collection Point (RCP) cum public toilet will be re-provisioned and integrated into the proposed development for visual enhancement. The re-provisioned RCP will be provided with better facilities and re-planned to enhance its serviceability and allow better maneuvering of refuse collection vehicles within the RCP.
In view of the needs for elderly facilities in the area, the URA will reserve not less than 120 sq.m. of internal floor area (IFA) for elderly facilities.
