Redeveloping Singapore Turf Club site will open up possibilities for land use but challenges also await: Analysts
"So I reckon that as we develop the master plan, we will take into account this surrounding context and see to what extent we can have an element of greenery within the site preserved for instance."The analysts said that the Singapore Turf Club site may also see the building of another 20,000 to 40,000 homes, depending on the plot ratio.
He also said that there may be leisure options such as a theme park or sporting facilities in the area since Singapore Sports School is located in Woodlands. “The area is considered far from most current major employment clusters and it will take some time for people to change their perception,” Dr Lee said.
On whether there is scope for a new MRT station or MRT line to be set up in the Singapore Turf Club site, Mr Li from Morrow Architects & Planners said that an expansion of the train network might not be necessary at this stage.
