Here are five things Northerners can cheer for!<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<h3><b>A regional hub for jobs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimed at helping the district realise its full potential as Singapore\u2019s Northern Gateway, the Woodlands Regional Centre will provide direct connection to the city centre via the Thomson MRT line. It will also have 700,000 square metres of commercial space \u2013 comparable to regional hubs such as the Jurong Lake District and Tampines Regional \u2013 bringing jobs closer to home for residents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2013 Draft Master Plan shows that the existing Woodlands waterfront will be expanded eastwards so that the entire stretch can be opened for public enjoyment. New residential developments will be built along the expanded waterfront park, while shipyard facilities in nearby Sembawang will also be relocated to create more space reported <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/business\/property\/woodlands-regional-centre-promising-housing-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TODAY<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A consortium of Far East Organization, Far East Orchard and Sekisui House had won the highest bid of nearly S$634 million or S$907 psf ppr for the first commercial site put up for public tender since the announcement of the regional centre as Singapore\u2019s Northern Gateway. Exciting new developments are in the works, ensuring more housing and employment opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Better connectivity <\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>I.\u00a0<\/b><b>With Johor Bahru<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the upcoming High Speed Rail terminus will be located in Jurong East, North Singapore commuters can opt to take public buses, private cars, or taxis into Johor Bahru. For those looking to avoid pesky jams at the causeway, forking out a little more for a new shuttle service may pay off. Shuttle Tebrau, operated by Malaysia\u2019s Keretapi Tanah Melayu, ferries commuters between the Woodlands Checkpoint and JB Sentral in just five minutes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">II.\u00a0<\/span><b>With Central Singapore<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting from October 12, City Direct service 665 takes Woodlands and Marsling commuters on an express route to the Central Business District.
