The developer is planning to redevelop the enbloc into a new residential development with unobstructed views of Jurong Lake and near Lakeside MRT station.
The Park View Mansions are subject to a 99-year lease which began on October 1, 1976.

The property’s former owner, the Chip Eng Seng family, plans to develop the property with 440 units. The developer is partnering with TK 189 Development and CEL Development. They each own 40 percent of the property and will develop the site as a residential complex.
