Dawnshore is a fictional planning area and new town situated in the Southern Region of Singapore. It houses the second biggest airport in Singapore, Viewlands Airport.
Under the Dawnshore 22 initiative, plans to turn the area into a new residential town was announced in 2023 and development started the same year.
Dawnshore is meant to be a waterfront town with the Southern River beside it.
It is divided into 4 subzones, Dawnshore Central, Dawnshore East, Viewlands and Viewlands West (formerly Viewrise) and it is next to Harbourbay planning area.
History:
Dawnshore did not exist until there was land reclamation in that area of Singapore. It was a plain grassland until the Roblox Urban Development Authority (RURA) announced that Dawnshore will be a HDB town.
The Roblox Land Transport Authority (RLTA) built a bus interchange in Dawnshore Central and the Roblox Housing Development Board (RHDB) began building more HDB flats around the new bus interchange.
Dawnshore 22:
HDB flats were built until Dawnshore Coast Road to the east, Viewlands Rise to the west, Dawnshore South Road to the south and Viewlands Link to the north. An airport was built in Viewlands as well.
A shopping mall was built beside the bus interchange and was later decided to have the name Dawnshore Point. Another bus interchange was built in the subzone Viewlands, with a shopping mall called Viewlands Plaza.
A few more HDB estates were built in Viewlands, featuring more unique designs rather than the generic looking HDBs that were built in Dawnshore Central.
Amenities:
Previously, the only way to get from Dawnshore Central to Viewlands was via the Dawnshore Expressway. Now, there are 3 options including the original Dawnshore Expressway.
The other ways to get to Viewlands are the Viewlands Viaduct and Viewlands Link. There is also a MRT station at Viewlands Interchange, under the Dawnshore Line extension.
Educational Institutions:
There are currently 3 operational Primary Schools, 1 former Primary School, 1 university in Dawnshore and 1 under construction Secondary School.
