Green Living at Turf City – How Nature Will Shape the New Estate

The Turf City redevelopment in Bukit Timah is not just about new homes and an MRT station — it’s about creating a sustainable community where nature and modern living coexist. As part of URA’s long-term redevelopment vision, Turf City will be a benchmark for green living in Singapore.

🌱 Preserving Bukit Timah’s Green Legacy

Bukit Timah has always been known for its greenery, anchored by the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. You can explore things like MacRitchie Treetop Walk too. For the Turf City redevelopment, URA has committed to:

• Retaining Forested Areas: Natural woodlands around Bukit Tinggi and Eng Neo Avenue will remain untouched. There will be a whole new nature park in Turf City !
• Eco Corridors: Wildlife movement corridors will connect Turf City with central green spaces, protecting biodiversity.
• Green Buffer Zones: Parks, community gardens, and tree-lined streets will integrate nature into everyday life.

🚲 A Car-Lite, Eco-Friendly Estate

Turf City is being designed as a 10-minute neighbourhood — a place where daily needs are within walking or cycling distance. Key features include:

• Dedicated Cycling Paths: Safe, scenic cycling routes linking homes to schools, shops, and MRT in Turf City. Amazing to be able to cycle around the Turf City to get to where you want to go.
• Car-Lite Infrastructure: Reduced car parking to prioritise greenery and pedestrian spaces. The Govt has strongly indicated their desire to encourage a car lite environment in Turf City.
• Integrated Transport: Seamless connection to the upcoming Turf City MRT station and Integrated Transport Hub. The Turf City MRT is part of the Cross Island Line which will bring residents to so many parts of Singapore.

🌳 Everyday Living in a Garden

Unlike older estates, Turf City Condos will be surrounded by parks, green commons, and lifestyle facilities built with sustainability in mind:

• Community gardens for urban farming initiatives.
• Shaded pedestrian walkways lined with native trees.
• Parks and sports facilities designed to double as green lungs for the estate.

For residents, this means a lifestyle that blends the best of city convenience with the tranquility of nature.

📈 Why Green Living Matters for Investors

Globally, green and sustainable estates have been shown to enjoy stronger long-term demand. For buyers of Turf City Condos, this means:

• Stronger resale appeal: Families and expats increasingly prefer eco-friendly, green estates.
• Rental demand: Close proximity to Bukit Timah’s international schools + green lifestyle amenities = strong rental market.
