Tengah Garden nearly fully sold as MRT drives demand

Launch momentum builds around Jurong Region Line connection shaping buyer entry timing.

Developers sold 852 of 863 units at Tengah Garden Residences over its launch weekend, representing a 98.7% take-up rate.

It is the first private residential project in Tengah, excluding executive condominiums, according to Justin Quek, Deputy Group CEO of Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Group.

The project is directly connected to the upcoming Hong Kah MRT station on the Jurong Region Line and includes about 3,000 square metres of retail space.

It is also near schools and the planned Jurong Lake District, supporting demand from families with school-going children.

Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, said demand reflected location attributes, pricing, and interest rate conditions, with buyers including households that had been waiting on the sidelines and dual-income couples without children.

He said entry prices started from about $980,000, which he described as amongst the most competitive for private launches in the Outside Central Region in 2026.

Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex, said the project achieved an average price of $2,120 per square foot, with most units priced within $2.5m.

Quek said demand came largely from HDB upgraders, including buyers from nearby towns such as Bukit Batok and Bukit Panjang, where around 7,500 four-room and five-room flats are reaching their minimum occupation period between 2022 and 2026.

He added that limited new private housing supply in the western region also supported buying interest, as purchasers focused on Tengah’s development as a new residential estate.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
