More private homes are in the pipeline in the new Bukit Timah Turf City precinct with the impending sale of a government land sales (GLS) site. Set in the heart of Bukit Timah, one of Singapore's most prestigious neighbourhoods, this upcoming project in Dunearn Road is set to offer a rare blend of convenience, prestige, and nature. The area is on the cusp of exciting transformation as the Bukit Timah Turf City takes shape, bringing more vibrant dining, retail, and lifestyle experiences just minutes from home. Residents will also enjoy easy access to a cluster of highly sought-after schools in Bukit Timah, making it an ideal choice for families prioritising education. This GLS plot, the second in Dunearn Road can yield an estimated 330 new residential units with a retail podium of over 1,400 sqm of commercial space. In a GLS tender that closed on 28 April 2026, the site attracted six bids, with the top bid of just under $533 million submitted by a joint venture between Winrich Investment (a subsidiary of Wing Tai Holdings) and Metrobilt Construction (a subsidiary of Metro Holdings). The top bid land price translates to a land rate of $1,625 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr).

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, Bukit Timah Turf City has been earmarked for transformation into a high-density yet thoughtfully planned housing estate, where future residences are sensitively integrated with heritage elements, lush greenery and public spaces. Urban planners have envisioned the Bukit Timah Turf City precinct as a car-lite, pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood, prioritising walkability and seamless access to public transport. The precinct is being designed as a "10-minute neighbourhood," where residents can reach most amenities -including retail, dining, recreational, and community facilities - within a 10-minute walk from their homes. Anchored by the upcoming Turf City MRT station on the Cross-Island Line (CRL), the precinct will evolve into a vibrant lifestyle hub with new retail and commercial offerings centred around enhanced connectivity. The Turf City MRT station is one of six stations in Phase 2 of the CRL that is slated to be completed in 2032.

The first phase-spanning around 1km-will feature an elevated connection from the Rail Corridor to Jalan Kampong Chantek.
