Etymology and history[]

Paya Lebar was a large, swampy area close to the Kallang River, hence its name. Paya means "swamp" and lebar means "wide" in Malay. This was an extensive and notorious squatter district, whose inhabitants engage in cultivating market produce, including pig and poultry rearing.

One of the first persons to colonise this area was Richard Owen Norris (died 1905), who bought part of the area in 1865 and lived here with his family.

The admiralty wireless station was in this district in 1915.

In 1955, Singapore International Airport (commonly referred to as "Paya Lebar Airport") was opened and became the area's chief landmark, along with a number of housing estates, schools and factories.

Paya Lebar Street was officially named in 1958, while Paya Lebar Way was named in 1972.

Its developer added that there will be 95,000 sq ft of the space, very similar to Tiong Bahru Plaza. Tenants will include MOF My Izakaya, Sakae Sushi, Gong Cha and Four Leaves Café.

SingPost Centre[]

SingPost Centre is a new shopping mall in Paya Lebar, Singapore. It was opened on September 2017.

It is also a destination for services, lifestyle and family entertainment catering to the needs of residents from the surrounding estates and office workers in the area. The mall spans five levels, with household names such as supermarket NTUC FairPrice, an eight-hall Cineplex by Golden Village, family entertainment outlets, enrichment centres and food court operator Kopitiam.

The shops are 7-Eleven, 9 Percent Boutique, Aston's, Chateraise, Daiso, EC House, Encik Tan, Kalm's, Malaysia Chiak, Miniso, Twelve Cupcakes, Virtualand, Watson's and Yoshinoya. Yoshinoya had originally opened one at SingPost Centre in February 2018 but later closed down in January 2019 due to lack of patronage.

Paya Lebar Quarter[]

Paya Lebar Quarter is a new shopping mall in Paya Lebar, Singapore. Notable tenants include Cotton On, NTUC FairPrice Finest, Uniqlo, TEMT, Hayai, Fong Sheng Hao, Tokyu Hands, Etude House, Challenger, Laneige, Starbucks, Smiggle, Kopitiam, Shaw Theatres and Virgin Active, including Fitness First, and it will be opened in 29 August 2019.

Paya Lebar Quarter will also be SMRT's headquarters, under a strategy to centralise corporate departments now located across the island, The Business Times understands.

This move will happen at around the same time as the transport group sets up two Train Hubs. One hub will focus on train operations and be based at the Kim Chuan Depot; the other will focus on maintenance and engineering (M&E) and be based at the Bishan Depot.

Centralising SMRT's corporate departments in the Paya Lebar suburb will thus enable tighter integration with these two hubs.

SMRT will take up to three levels for each of the redevelopment's three office towers.

Paya Lebar Road[]

Paya Lebar Road (Template:Zh) is a two-way street in Geylang, Singapore that runs in the north-south direction. The road starts in the south at the junction with Geylang Road and Guillemard Road before ending at the junction with MacPherson Road and Airport Road. En route, Paya Lebar Road passes through its junction with Sims Avenue, Geylang East Central, Eunos Avenue 5, Pan Island Expressway, Lorong Bengkok, Ubi Avenue 2 and Ubi Avenue 3.

The road continues northwards as Upper Paya Lebar Road (Template:Zh) and ends at the junction with Upper Serangoon Road and Boundary Road, and it connects through the Fragrant Gardens (Steven Quek's house). Bus services 22, 24, 62 and 80 passes through this stretch.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be widening a 1.3km stretch of Upper Paya Lebar Road between Upper Serangoon Road and Bartley Road by an additional lane on each direction of the carriageway to relieve existing peak-hour congestion and meet the anticipated future increase in traffic on 9 December 2011.

This stretch of road, which serves industrial areas in Aljunied, Ubi and Eunos as well as residential areas in the northeast sector, currently experiences heavy congestion during peak hours. With redevelopment and growth in these areas, the traffic along this road is expected to increase by up to 25% by 2020.

LTA will be calling a tender for the project in December 2011. The widening works will commence in mid-2012 after the contract is awarded. When the widening is completed in 2014, motorists can expect a smoother traffic flow due to the increased capacity provided by the additional lane.

To facilitate the widening works, the Government will need to acquire some private lands along Upper Paya Lebar Road under the Land Acquisition Act. The acquisition affects the backlane of a row of shophouses, and the frontages, such as open spaces and grass verges, of five properties. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has gazetted the lands affected by the acquisition today. Landowners who are directly affected will receive the acquisition notices today.
