First batch of 1,500 HDB flats to be launched in November 2018.

The first batch of 1,500 Housing Board flats in the new Tengah estate will be launched in November, Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong announced yesterday.

He shared the details in a post on his blog, Housing Matters, where he said the flats will comprise "a good mix across different flat-types".

Over the next few years, there will be a steady stream of flats in Tengah, which is Singapore's first new town in more than 20 years since Punggol, he added.

And when completed, Tengah will grow to about 700ha, which is roughly equivalent in size to Bishan, he added.

The masterplan for Tengah was revealed in September 2016, although plans to redevelop the town had been mooted as early as 1991 in a concept plan for Singapore in the future.

As the first "Forest Town", Tengah will see a car-free town centre and lush greenery surrounding the site, which is bounded by the Kranji and Pan-Island expressways, Bukit Batok Road and Brickland Road.

The area, which was largely forest and scrubland, was previously used as a military training ground.

There will be five planned housing districts in Tengah, each with a unique character, the Ministry of National Development had said.

When it is fully developed in two decades, Tengah could comprise 42,000 new homes: 30,000 units of public housing and 12,000 units of private housing.

Industry watchers told The Straits Times in an earlier report that buyers might not see Tengah's appeal now,

but with its location near the upcoming Jurong Innovation District and its car-free town centre, it is expected to grow in popularity.

In his blog post, Mr Wong noted that residents in Tengah will benefit from the future 24km Jurong Region Line (JRL) in their commute.

24 STATIONS

Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan had announced last Wednesday that the MRT line will have 24 stations and open in three phases starting from 2026.

Mr Wong said that four JRLstations will connect the town to the Jurong Innovation District and the Jurong Lake District.

"Within Tengah, we are also looking to enhance last-mile connectivity through autonomous vehicles," he added.

"We look forward to working with Singaporeans to make Tengah a home treasured by generations to come, a place where precious memories and community bonds are formed."

These will be among 30,000 eventual public housing units in the new "Forest Town" in the west.

And when the car-free town centre - Singapore's first - is built, nearby residents will be able to stroll from their flats to shops, foodcourts and the MRT station without having to cross a single road.

The town centre, named Market Place, will be set in a park and traffic will run underneath it instead. "This will make it friendlier for people and also for community activities," said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong, announcing the masterplan for Tengah last night.

To encourage modes of transport other than driving, all roads in Tengah will have walking and cycling trails on both sides.

"The whole of Tengah, as we design it, will become a town that will support our car-lite vision, our vision of a greener Singapore, and a more people-friendly city," said Mr Wong.

For other transport modes, most residents will have bus stops within 300m of their homes.

But the MRT will take a while to arrive, with the Jurong Region Line estimated to be completed in a decade's time.

Space has also been reserved for possible future transport use, such as providing a path for self-driving cars.

The car-free town centre is part of the Park District - one of five in Tengah. The others are Plantation, Garden, Brickland and Forest Hill. They will each have a distinct identity even as they incorporate green elements.

Said HDB chief executive officer Cheong Koon Hean: "The whole town is actually infused with greenery."

Plantation District, the first to be developed, will have a "community farmway" running through its housing estates, with gardens, play areas, fields and community farms.

Another community farmway will run through Garden District, near Tengah's 20ha Central Park.

A "forest amphitheatre" in the park will be a green gathering place and an existing canal will be transformed into a "forest stream".

Another striking feature of Tengah is a 100m-wide, 5km-long forest corridor, developed in collaboration with the National Parks Board. Within existing secondary forest - forest that grows on land previously disturbed by human activity - more rainforest trees will be planted for a richer habitat.

Tengah will also be the first entirely "smart" HDB town.

Smart features such as utilities monitoring systems, which have been piloted on a smaller scale in areas such as Yuhua, will be introduced across the entire Tengah town.

As Park District will be developed only later, Tengah's first residents will initially be without a town centre. But each district will have its own neighbourhood centres and amenities such as schools.

There will also eventually be a sports hub and a health and medical care facility.

The final two districts are Brickland, which takes inspiration from the brick factories that were set up there in the 1960s, and Forest Hill.

The latter will bring residents the closest to nature, bordered by the forest corridor on two sides and Central Park on another.
