15,000 to 20,000 public and private homes planned for Bukit Timah Turf City site over next 20 to 30 years

According to the Housing and Development Board's website, there are about 2,500 flats in Bukit Timah. The government is planning for 10-minute neighbourhoods, which means that most amenities will be located within a 10-minute walk away. One example is the North Grandstand, which was completed in the 1980s. A new central open space in front of the grandstands, about twice the size of the Padang, will be the centrepiece of the estate, he added.

For example, the Racecourse neighbourhood will be anchored around the grandstand and the new oval open space. Residents there can look forward to recreational spaces and sports facilities within a five-minute walk to the upcoming Cross Island Line MRT Station, which is slated to open in 2032.An artist's impression of a possible new community space in front of Bukit Timah Saddle Club Clubhouse and Fairways Bungalow.

To accommodate anticipated traffic from future developments, road improvement works will be rolled out at Dunearn Road, Bukit Timah Road and Eng Neo Avenue. Agencies are also studying the technical feasibility and environmental impact of implementing a new exit ramp from the PIE towards Tuas, said URA in the press release.
