Known for its iconic Novena Church, Novena falls under the prime district 11 and is home to shopping malls, healthcare institutions, offices, apartments, condominiums and landed homes.

Over the years, Novena has been transformed into a bustling healthcare hub called Health City Novena with the addition of three new MRT stations to better serve commuters.

Here are six things to watch out for:

#1: Health City Novena

The Ministry of Health has set a target completion date by 2030 for this sprawling 17-hectare modern integrated healthcare complex that now physically links Tan Tock Seng Hospital, its medical school and all public and volunteer healthcare facilities into one.

In the next 10 years, Health City Novena will see the addition of more facilities and services which will double its built-up area from 250,000 sq m to 600,000 sq m.

#2:  Novena Medical Center

Meanwhile, a  new mixed-use development comprising a hotel, medical suites and retail shops at the junction of Thomson and Irrawaddy Roads is now open.

Called Novena Medical Center, this privately run medical facility offers a wide range of quality health care services ranging from medical aesthetics to dental surgery.

It is also linked directly to Oasia Hotel Novena for the convenience of overseas private patients to recuperate.

#3: Three new MRT stations under Downtown Line 2

To offer residents enhanced connectivity to the rest of Singapore, three new MRT stations namely  Newton, Stevens and Botanic Gardens, were opened in December 2015.

Comprising 16.6 km of train line that runs from Bukit Panjang to Bukit Timah Road, residents can hop onto the North South Line at Novena before transferring to Newton MRT interchange station to get to the downtown Singapore in 14 minutes flat via Downtown MRT station.

By 2021, residents can look forward to the addition of two more MRT stations at Mount Pleasant and Stevens via the Thomson-East Coast Line.

Stevens MRT station will be upgraded to an interchange station where commuters can hop onto the Thomson-East Coast Line towards Woodlands North or Sungei Bedok.

#4: Velocity @ Novena Square

Located directly above Novena MRT station, this sports-themed mall offers shopping, dining and beauty options as among some of its offerings. 

Home to an outdoor basketball court, sports lovers can look forward to sporting events that are held here from time to time.

Some of its anchor tenants include UOB, World of Sports, Cold Storage, Starbucks and Toast Box.

#5:  Zhongshan Park Integrated Development

The Zhongshan Park Integrated Development was conceived by its architect as a unique opportunity to rejuvenate the Balestier Conservation Area which has more than 160 years of history.

Located at Balestier Road and adjacent to the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, Zhongshan Park has now been integrated as a sprawling 39,100sqm mixed-use development comprising  Zhongshan Mall, two hotels and an office tower.

#6: 35 Gilstead

In anticipation for Novena’s rejuvenation, a new condominium development will be developed at 35 Gilstead Road.

Called 35 Gilstead,  this upcoming freehold condominium development will comprise three blocks of 5-storey residential apartments with an attic and basement, swimming pool and communal facilities.

Offering 70 units ranging from one- to three-bedroom plus penthouse, 35 Gilstead will likely appeal to parents with school-going children as it is located very close to good schools such as Anglo-Chinese School Barker Road, Catholic Junior College, Singapore Chinese Girl’s Primary and Secondary School and St. Joseph’s Institution.
