Meanwhile, on the horizon of Singapore’s development map, an 8ha land parcel along Tengah Garden Avenue awaits its transformation. With plans to increase its plot ratio, this area, equivalent in size to approximately 11 football fields, could usher in a new era of housing opportunities.
The proposal
The proposed amendment sets the stage for a mixed-use development adjacent to the future Hong Kah MRT station on the Jurong Region Line. While precise details are yet to be unveiled, industry experts speculate a potential yield of 1,950 to 2,000 flats, or 2,850 to 2,900 private apartments.
Considering the considerable number of Build-To-Order (BTO) projects in Tengah, this development is likely to be a private endeavour.
