As 2025 draws to a close, Turf City stands at the beginning of one of Singapore’s most significant urban transformations. What was once a historic racecourse has officially entered a new chapter — one defined by housing, connectivity, green living, and long-term planning under the URA Master Plan.
This year has been pivotal. Here’s a clear look at what has happened so far, and what buyers and investors can expect next as we move into 2026 and beyond.
📍 2025: The Year Turf City’s Transformation Took Shape
In 2025, Turf City shifted from concept to execution.
Key milestones included:
- Confirmation of Turf City’s redevelopment under the URA Master Plan
- Release of multiple GLS sites along Dunearn Road
- Strong developer interest and competitive bidding
- Greater clarity on infrastructure, height controls, and land use
- Continued planning for the Cross Island Line (CRL) and Turf City MRT

🏗️ GLS Momentum Signals Long-Term Confidence
One of the clearest signs of confidence in Turf City came from the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme.
- The first Dunearn Road GLS site attracted nine bids
- A consortium led by Frasers Property, Sekisui House and CSC Land secured the land at $1,410 psf ppr
- A second GLS site followed shortly after, reinforcing development momentum
These early land releases set the foundation for future residential launches and pricing benchmarks in the years ahead.

🚇 MRT Connectivity: The Game Changer Still Ahead
While 2025 clarified many planning details, the biggest value driver is still unfolding.
The upcoming Turf City MRT Station on the Cross Island Line will:
- Connect Bukit Timah directly to the east and north of Singapore
- Reduce reliance on cars in a traditionally low-density area
- Boost both owner-occupier and rental demand
Expected completion in the early 2030s positions Turf City as a future-ready estate — one where accessibility improves over time rather than declining.

🌿 Green Living Becomes a Defining Feature
Another major highlight in 2025 was the announcement of the Turf City Nature Park, planned to span up to 40 hectares and connect Eng Neo Avenue Forest with Bukit Tinggi.
This commitment to preserving greenery ensures that Turf City will not be just another housing estate, but a nature-integrated township — something increasingly rare in central Singapore.
Families, joggers, cyclists, and nature lovers will all benefit from this long-term planning vision.
