New Hospital in Choa Chu Kang?

We noticed some land survey works are carried out this week during the Circuit Breaker on the plot of land zoned for Healthcare institution. 

The same plot of land is also a potential site for the proposed new NSL MRT Station between Bukit Gombak and Choa Chu Kang.

With the construction for Choa Chu Kang BTO Keat Hong Verge delayed due to COVID-19 Circuit Breaker, it would be surprising if G is pushing ahead with infrastructure and amenities construction. Or could it be something else? 

More Healthcare facilities in the West for our aging population and to combat the pandemic is always welcomed.

If it is a healthcare institution, residents would benefit it could mean that the proposed MRT Station may be build earlier, to support the increase in population from Tengah Estate and new flats in the area. The area currently is served by 2 shuttle bus services and LRT. 

Despite the fact that the site is zoned for Healthcare, it could also be a temporary occupancy license to use the vacant land for a short period of time such as showflat, dorms, event space, etc. 

We will only find out in couple of weeks when there's further information. 

Do you think the resale prices of the flats in the vicinity will be affected by the construction of the hospital? Considering the the sound of ambulance siren will be a norm to anyone that stays near a hospital.
