A 1.23ha plot of land at the junction of Syed Alwi Road and King George's Avenue, near Lavender MRT station, has been earmarked by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) for public housing development.

It comprises mainly vacant state land and private industrial property at No. 16, King George's Avenue, which the Government will acquire under the Land Acquisition Act.
