Toa Payoh New Town is the second oldest new town in Singapore, developed since 1962. It is home to the HDB Hub and hosts one of the country's two air-conditioned bus interchanges, the other being the one in Sengkang.
It boasts excellent sporting facilities, including a stadium, an indoor sports hall and the country's best swimming complex, where the SEA Games swimming competition is held at. These are also the venues for several of the National Schools sports competitions. There is a plethora of shophouses in Toa Payoh Central that participate in the annual Great Singapore Sale. Outside the central area, you can find the Singapore Press Holdings main office.
