Together, the two sites will create a larger space, thus enabling more effective planning with wider frontage and enhanced prominence along Dunearn and Bukit Timah Roads, says William Liem, Tuan Sing’s CEO.

Turf City Redevelopment:

In 2019, a tenancy extension of 18 months was granted by Singapore Land Authority (SLA) from Jan 1, 2021 to June 30 2023 to 15 tenancies at Turf City. In the interim, tenants could continue to operate while development plans were examined. On 30 Sep 2021, the authorities announced that a final extension of another 18 months would be given for the tenancies to run till Dec 2023.

At Turf City, 140-hectare land which is approximately two hundred football fields in size, was designated for residential use in the 1998 Master Plan.

Bukit Timah Saddle Club, among the tenants, is required to return an affected area by the beginning half of 2023.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) said that 0.8 hectare of Bukit Timah Saddle Club tenanted boundary will be turned into a worksite. This worksite will be used to support tunnelling operations on the Cross Island Line.

With redevelopment plans of Turf City in the works, expect greater potentials for this area. The Yarwood Avene and Dunearn Road freehold site will definitely stand to gain from this positive news considering the direction future land prices are moving towards. Outside Core Region upcoming Singapore new condo launches like Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 by UOL and Lentor Modern are already expected to launch from $21xx psf to $23xx psf, accordingly to real estate analysts.
