Where convenience and recreation meet for North Gaia
The upcoming EC project now known North Gaia is located within the established Yishun estate and future residents will be able to enjoy a wide selection of shopping, dining, entertainment options at nearby amenities. These include the mega Northpoint City, Yishun New Town, and Junction 9.
In particular, Northpoint City – the largest mall in northern Singapore – with two retail wings will offer plenty of F&B choices, fashion retailers, a supermarket as well as others stores to fulfil all the daily needs of residents. The Northpoint City development also features community spaces and the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub, with a bus interchange and the Yishun MRT station (on the North-South Line).
Retail therapy aside, there are lots of outdoor recreation facilities nearby to soothe weariness and to recharge the mind. North Gaia is located right beside the waterway leading to the Yishun Pond and the Park Connector Network (PCN), on the Northern Explorer Loop.
According to the National Parks Board, the Northern Explorer Loop spans 25 kilometres and connects 11 parks and nature sites, such as the Yishun Park, Woodlands Town Garden, Admiralty Park, Woodlands Waterfront, and Lower Seletar Reservoir Park. With the PCN, residents have an easy access to lush foliage, tranquil waters, a healthy lifestyle and fun-filled activities. Other leisure amenities in the area include the Orchid Country Club, the SAFRA Yishun Country Club, and the Sembawang Hot Spring.
Wellness and healthcare services are also not far away should the need arise, with the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Yishun Community Hospital, and Yishun Polyclinic all within a short drive from the North Gaia EC site.
