Dakota Crescent in Geylang, Singapore (27 July 2017)
Dakota Crescent (GPS: 1.3076, 103.8883) is a housing estate in
Geylang, Singapore. It is also the name of the road serving the area.
The flats at Dakota Crescent are some of the oldest housing estates in Singapore. They were built by the
Singapore Investment Trust (SIT), the precursor to today's
Housing Development Board (HDB).
Some 15 blocks here were demolished and their site redeveloped into new condominiums, namely
Dakota Residences and
Waterbank at Dakota. The earliest residents of Dakota Crescent were those displaced by the major fire that broke out at Kampong Koo Chye on 5 April, 1958, an area today known as Lorong 3 Geylang.
