It has been an intriguing first few months of 2021 so far.
From the introduction of the massive Normanton Park , to the uniquely positioned The Reef at King’s Dock – you could say that home buyers have had quite a good spread to choose from so far (adding on to the already flourishing list of new launches).

Hougang Capeview was launched in the November 2011 BTO exercise.

Speaking to Lianhe Wanbao, Tan shared that he spent one to two days conceptualising the video and about half a day filming it with his property agency s video team.

First-term Workers’ Party (WP) parliamentarian Gerald Giam, Dennis Tan and Louis Chua conducted a joint walkabout meeting residents from their three different wards, on Saturday morning (12 Dec).
Mr Giam is one of the new MPs at Aljunied GRC while Mr Chua is one of the MPs representing Sengkang GRC. Mr Tan is MP for Hougang SMC, which has been held by the opposition party since 1991.
On Saturday, Mr Giam and Mr Tan conducted a walkabout at Hougang Central before heading to Hougang Capeview, where they linked up with Mr Chua. Although it is within the boundaries of Aljunied GRC, Hougang Capeview is an area that is at the confluence of the three WP-held wards.
