Although not as abundant due to space limitations and licensing requirements, majority of newer developments now include childcare facilities. Developers who have the advantage of space are now attracting parents with school-age children.
Listed are five property developments that come with childcare centres.
This 1,024-unit property is a high density condominium. It is five minutes away from the Aljunied MRT Station and is located along the East-West line. It features seven retail spaces. Sims Urban Oasis’ TOP (Temporary Occupation Permit) is expected in 2018. Hawker centres and shops are within walking distance. Geylang and other eating stations are across the Aljunied MRT. Prices start at SGD758K.
