Geylang going for re-development?
 

Looks like more houses are closing each year. Wonder if the land will be taken back for re-development?

Do you feel the same as me?

has been talking about this for so many years, still no actions yet:o

But dont you find that more and more houses are closing each year?

Maybe govt is not renewing the land lease?

Maybe there is plan to move Red district to Sentosa or Marina, where gamble and sex can compliment each other biz.

Actually there was a post some time back around this topic and I must say it was interesting. This topic was also validated by some of the OKTs at Lor 18 where we recently saw a row of houses making way for some new development – basically the row that’s directly opposite the likes of 1818/1820 etc.


The topic revolved around how the plan was to move I think into the likes of Choa Chu Kang or one of the more western districts where light industrial areas are located.

To convert current geylang into high-rise types. When I say high rise its probably less than 10 stories type that is typically found in your light industrial areas. The logic:

- Manage these activities away from a potential residential/educational/ commercial area that Geylang can become. Basically, monetize more.
- Manage redlight activities in ONE BLOCK.
=This allows CCTV usage in better lit areas for facial identification.
=Contain ALL activities in one block. Better security and management ‘yellow card’ holders.
=Outsource security to manage this area together with CCTV etc.
=Overall closer tracking and monitoring of ‘incoming and outgoing’.
Other speculations included:
- having different floors for different CAT eg. CAT 40/50/80/150
- potentially moving Kelantan Clinic to similar area. This allows control of yellow card holders to simply walk to the clinic (control measures) and also open up the new Kelantan Clinic to those who patronize the area as a new source of revenue. This also acts as a control measure to help identify ‘patient zero’ in an form of new future outbreak.

Moving to Sentosa is suicidal.. that's asking guys to take a tram ride or cable car ride for a quickie... It will definitely span a quick rise for a need of illegal FLs in other areas of sillypore

No one will be happy if the redlght district is moving to their current residential vicinity (except for us regular visitors)

Sex trades will never be shutdown, just only will be moving to other places or changing it's way of operating.

last time heard was to move to near turf club, gl is a good location for highend development as it it just outside the cbd. however, cbd is not as high value as last time when we started to de-centralize the business district now, guess that is the reason why redevelopment of gl has slowed down

Bro from URA:D

URA = Urban Redlight Authority

Re: Geylang going for re-development?
 

land around turf club are good class bungalows and worth a lot more than geylang based on PSF.. besides that, some ministers, old money, the powerful lives there. U think they will allow that to happen at all? :rolleyes: FYI, many of these geylang legal house owners are super rich and powerful people too.

Re: Geylang going for re-development?
 

bro, kranji not bt, you think why moved turf club out from bt and mediacock out from andrew road, and shatec to bb? all for the same reason.

Re: Geylang going for re-development?
 

GL now is really no fight for the past GL. Used to be so lively and hype but now going there no longer have the crowd and usual atmosphere.

Re: Geylang going for re-development?
 

No, nowadays, we can travel to Sentosa by MRT and bus.
BTW, our secret police own some prison camp to house political prisoners.
