Kampung Admiralty a model for public housing: PM Lee
The estate was lauded for merging education, healthcare, and housing policies.
Kampung Admiralty, an integrated housing estate for senior citizens, is considered a model for future public housing, prime minister Lee Hsien Loong said. “It meets a need as our society ages, encouraging the residents and their families to come together to build a community.”
The prime minister noted in his National Day message that the flats for senior citizens have inbuilt features like grab bars and non-slip tiles, whilst the amenities co-located in the estate include a supermarket, a medical centre, a community garden, a childcare centre, and a hawker centre.

Kampung Admiralty is the first-of-its-kind development in Singapore, which integrates housing for the elderly with a wide range of social, healthcare, communal, commercial and retail facilities. It is a multi-agency project developed by the Housing & Development Board (HDB) in partnership with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Yishun Health Campus (YHC), National Environment Agency (NEA), National Parks Board (NParks), Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA).
Completed in May 2017, the 11-storey “modern kampung” features 100 flats for the elderly, a two-storey medical centre providing specialist outpatient care, an Active Ageing Hub co-located with a childcare centre, dining and retail outlets, as well as a 900-seat hawker centre. Together, they offer a wide range of facilities and amenities for both young and old in the community. Beyond the facilities, Kampung Admiralty has also been designed with a variety of community spaces to encourage community involvement and ownership.
