The Toa Payoh New Town is one of the oldest in Singapore, but it has developed greatly since the early and mid-1960s. It is home to the HDB Hub and hosts the country's only air-conditioned bus interchange. 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.
