Rochor Centre and Hong Leng Yien Temple

Rochor Centre is a building in Singapore built by the Housing and Development Board. It was built and completed in 1977. There are total of 4 blocks (Block 1, 2, 3 and 4) with over 180 shops, ranging from ceremonial goods to hardware, electrical appliances, beauty salons and eating outlets.

A carpark for residents and visitors is located at the basement. The first three floors consists of shop houses and offices. The fourth floor is a void deck and residents stay from the fifth floor onwards.
Rochor Centre will soon be demolished, to make way for the new North-South Expressway (NSE) in the southern segment of the project.

It is among more than 20 private properties which will have part of their plots acquired for the highway and several slip roads and ramps leading to and from the highway, reported the Straits Times.
Earlier this year, the government gave the green light for the 15.9 km North-South Expressway (NSE) between Admiralty Road West and Toa Payoh Rise, and announced properties in the northern segment which will be affected by the construction.

Construction of the NSE will begin in 2015. When completed, the 21.5km NSE will connect towns along Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Toa Payoh with the city centre and will link to the Seletar Expressway, Pan-Island Expressway and East Coast Parkway Expressway. Motorists can expect to save up to 30% of their travel time during peak hours when travelling along this route. 

While all efforts have been made to minimise land acquisition, two full lots, consisting of four HDB blocks at Rochor Centre and an association building at Keng Lee Road, and 21 part lots will need to be acquired to facilitate the construction of NSE.
