In-building parking, on the other hand, is waaay too expensive for you to be paying every day.Convenient Alternatives Luckily for us, our building is located just a 2-3 minute walk from the TTDI MRT Station. Apart from that, confirmed staff have access to subsidised parking if they choose to drive.On the bright side, finding food around here is a breeze. There are so many options to choose from. So we guess it all balances out!<h2>5.
