Connectivity & transport

Served by Tanjong Pagar (East-West Line) and Maxwell (Thomson-East Coast Line), with the CBD and Marina Bay a short walk or ride away. Excellent for car-lite professionals working in the financial district.

Schools nearby

Limited schools within the district given its commercial character; families usually look outward. The draw here is walkability to work, not school catchments.

Lifestyle & amenities

One of the city's best food-and-nightlife precincts — Tanjong Pagar and Duxton shophouses, Maxwell and Amoy Street hawker centres, plus boutique gyms and cafés.

Growth & URA Master Plan outlook

Part of the CBD Incentive and wider city rejuvenation, D2 is steadily adding residential density and public space. Long-term, closer integration with the Greater Southern Waterfront underpins demand.
