Chee Hoon Ave translates to “purple cloud” and has special significance in the Buddhist religion, where purple is seen to be a divine colour. It also shares the boundary with Camden Park GCBA.

Through the generations, property has allowed people to move up socio-economic ladders through a combination of capital appreciation and leverage which a property investment offers.

Welcoming you at 111 Wilkinson Road is Katong Swimming Complex, an ever present structure since 1975.
