Specialists expect Farrer Park Fields to observe healthy demand offered its distance to town as well as two MRT terminals– Farrer Park along with Little India, the last of which is an interchange for the Downtown and North-East Lines. “We can expect strong competitiveness for Farrer Park Fields, specifically since BTO developments in the Kallang as well as Whampoa vicinity often tend to be increasingly disputed when near an MRT station,” says Mohan Sandrasegeran, One Global Group’s senior expert for research and content creation.
