Singapore Turf Club closure could field 30,000 new homes
The consultancy predicts that more than 30,000 brand-new houses can be built on the site, thinking a gross plot ratio of 2.8 and also a standard unit size of 1,000 sq ft. Nevertheless, the actual number will vary based on the last development blueprints.
“The revamping of Kranji as a brand-new community will sustain the continuous property development of the Woodlands Regional Centre, which is allocated as the biggest economic hub in Singapore’s north region,” states Gafoor, adding this will definitely reinforce the workforce to assist sectors projected to grow up on Woodlands, Senoko, Lim Chu Kang and Sungei Kadut.
The western end of the land parcel along Turf Club Avenue might be prime for “low-rise condominiums or landed plots as “there are actually presenting landed properties at the Jalan Kasau region,” adds Lim. The remainder of the site could be completed with a mix up of nature, sporting activities, F&B, retail, and recreation as corresponding land uses to support the household usages in the area.
An evaluation of the existing master plan recommends where the future residential project could begin, claims Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Realty Network. “Looking at the existing surrounding land uses as demonstrated in the Master Plan, non commercial uses can be incorporated both on eastern as well as western portions of the turf club site as a rational extension of current residential uses,” states Lim.

PropNex chief executive officer Ismail Gafoor states the action “reflects the versatility in the state’s strategy to handling land use in Singapore, where land is scarce, but there are numerous contending demands for space”.
Lee Sze Teck, top supervisor of research at Huttons Asia, sees that even though the 120-ha location might be too compact to be sorted as a new standalone township, it will certainly extend the already mature Woodlands HDB town. He assesses as much as 30,000 brand-new houses could be established on the land parcel.
