Centrale 8 At Tampines DBSS was the 8th out of 13 DBSS to be built in Singapore, and it holds a special place in Singapore's DBSS history as one of the most (if not the most) scandalous DBSS that formed part of why the entire scheme was scrapped.

Those looking to stay here should also know that it is the only development situated along this road, so I can't see any reason why this road would have heavy traffic at all.

The last thing I'd like to highlight is that this MSCP has no link bridges. This means that drivers who park on higher floors must head down to level 1 first, then walk over to their block. As mentioned in multiple reviews, this can sound like a small thing but builds up over time in terms of inconvenience. There are developments with link bridges, so if you're someone who drives, perhaps you should look into such developments first.

Granted, you can technically drop anywhere along the service roads to reach your block, but having at least a shelter and a designated spot as a drop-off is good to have.There are two types here, one is a more traditional and colourful one that comes with a slide .For the more adventurous ones, there's a pretty decent climbing structure that they can use.

For example, this block has four units on each side, but they're not side by side and there's an ample amount of space outside each unit: Now that we're finally done with the common corridors, let's check out the amenities on offer here which is where Centrale 8 shines!Here, you'll find the standard food court, grocery store , a clinic and a bakery.
