The Neighbourhood Around Amberwood at Holland by Completion
The surroundings of Amberwood at Holland continue to develop alongside the project. Holland Link and Holland Plain roads are to be re-aligned by LTA, scheduled by 2030 and subject to LTA. The future Community Plain, a new park planned beside the development, will link towards the Rail Corridor, and a wetland park is also planned in Holland Plain.
King Albert Park station on the Downtown Line is minutes from the development and will become an interchange with the Cross Island Line when CRL Phase 2 opens, targeted for 2032 by LTA. A future pedestrian link through the Community Plain is planned to connect to the CRL station. The King Albert Park MRT interchange guide covers these rail plans in detail.
The Sales Concierge sends the e-brochure, the full set of sixteen floor plans and the current price list for Amberwood at Holland, and arranges a private viewing of the three show units at the sales gallery at a time that suits you.
