Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 20, 2011 Staff Share Posted September 20, 2011 The oldest public housing development is located along Tiong Bahru area.The old airport road area type of public housing is considered second to the abovedevelopment.Fortunately, these quaint 1960's type of public housing has not being demolised along Dakota Crescent. These are "retained" for now...Because of it's close proximity to Singapore's first ever airport located near-by (currently People's Association along Nicol Highway; these flats are always up to a certain resticted height.Since the airport had moved to Paya Lebar and now to Changi airpot; newer development across the street e.g. Jalan empat etc... are high rise development. Not limited by the height restrictions of the ancient past.. anymore... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 16, 2017 Author Staff Share Posted October 16, 2017 Dakota Crescent is a ghost town. Ready for redevelopment. Most likely the last set of photos that I will ever take of this iconic development. Majority of the close-up photos are of a single 7 storey block : 2 Dakota Close Some of the windows are opened. Rest assured, no human beings are staying in these vacant units: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 27, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted October 27, 2019 Dakota Crescent... many blocks resemble the side view of a curved stool... Believe it or not... Most likely the architect who designed this development previously had a love of sitting on such a stool... LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
