What to expect from the Tengah BTO flats (Garden Court/Terrace @ Tengah)
1) A stone’s throw from 2 Jurong Region Line (JRL) MRT stations
The BTO flats in Tengah will be only a few minutes walk from Tengah Plantation MRT and Hong Kah MRT station. Slated to be operational by 2027, these stations will form part of the Jurong Region Line (JRL).
Aimed at enhancing connectivity in the west, the JRL will connect residents to areas like Jurong East, Choa Chu Kang, and Jurong West by train.

This will be a boon for those who need to travel around the west often, whether for work or play. From the upcoming Jurong Lake District to the many malls Jurong East (JEM, Westgate, JCube etc.), residents will be able to reach these places easily through the JRL.
Apart from these upcoming MRT stations, there are also plans for a bus interchange to be built not too far from the Tengah BTO flats. Furthermore, there will be bus stops located within 300m from homes in Tengah.

2) Singapore’s first "Forest Town", surrounded by lush greenery
If you enjoy nature and living close to greenery, you’ll be pleased to know that the Tengah estate will be surrounded by lots of parks and community gardens.
Living in Singapore’s “Forest Town”, residents of Tengah will enjoy easy access to a 5-kilometre long, 100-metre wide Forest Corridor connected to the Western Water Catchment Area and Central Catchment Nature Reserve.

In addition, the 20-hectare Central Park will lie at the heart of Tengah. This attraction will have its own amphitheatre, as well as integrated with water bodies to provide a scenic environment for residents.
3) A car-lite estate with one-of-a-kind features
Greenery aside, Tengah is designed to be a car-lite estate and will be home to Singapore’s first car-free town centre. All roads will also have walking and cycling trails to encourage non-driving modes of transport.
To enhance walking and cycling experiences in the estate, elevated and underground crossings, shaded paths, and rest stops are currently in the works.

Tengah will also be Singapore’s first smart energy town, with plans for smart technology to be deployed in common areas. To name a few: the town will have lightings scheduled based on peoples’ movement patterns, and lifts that only power up when in use.
If that still doesn’t impress you, there will also be a smart Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PCWS). This will be an underground pipe network that channels waste into the Centralised Bin Centre using air pressure. With this system, cleaners won’t have to collect trash from the rubbish collection points at the bottom of HDB blocks. This will also make waste collection much more efficient and hygienic.
November 2020 Tengah BTO Review (Garden Court/Terrace @ Tengah)
As of today, the amenities planned for Tengah may seem limited compared to other more mature estates in Singapore. However, it’s likely that Tengah’s many first-of-its-kind offerings like smart technology and a car-free town centre are an indication of more exciting developments ahead. To us, Tengah is definitely an up and coming estate to keep an eye on.
