Bidadari (Chinese: 比达达利, Malay: Bidadari), also known as Bidadari Estate, is an upcoming housing estate located in central Singapore. It is part of the HDB town of Toa Payoh
Before the development of Bidadari Estate, the subzone was the site of Bidadari Cemetery, which served Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sinhalese communities.
In 1903, plans were made to develop a new Christian Cemetery at Bidadari and subsequently land was acquired around the Bidadari Estate. Bidadari Cemetery was officially opened in 1908 and continued operations till 1972 when the last burial took place. In 1996, the government announced that the site of the Bidadari Cemetery had been ear-marked development.
In 2013 HDB announced plans for a housing estate at the site of the former cemetery.
