Admiralty · Woodlands
A strategic northern gateway and upcoming regional hub defined by vast green spaces and cross-border connectivity.
Woodlands takes its name from the keruntum trees that once populated the area, giving it a heavily wooded appearance. Historically, it served as the primary link to Malaysia with the opening of the Causeway in 1923. Today, District 25 is being reimagined as the "Woodlands Regional Centre," the largest economic hub in the North of Singapore.
