SINGAPORE, June 6 — Following news that the Singapore Turf Club will close down by 2027, property analysts and urban planners said that the site’s redevelopment by the Government will see a mix of opportunities and challenges due to the area’s proximity to the Kranji industrial area and Mandai.
Yesterday , the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of National Development announced that the site will be used for public housing, while other potential uses are also being studied, such as for leisure and recreation. “Similarly, some of the land zoned for future detailed development are near the Straits of Johor. If they are developed into residential properties, the residents could enjoy sea views, which would enhance the value of the properties.”
Mr Li Yu Zhou, the director at Morrow Architects & Planners, also noted that to the west of Singapore Turf Club is the Northern Agri-Tech and Food Corridor, as well as the planned agricultural technology innovation hub in Sungei Kadut. He said that the northern region as a whole is very “green”, with areas such as Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and the Kranji Marshes.
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. She added that there is definitely some “redevelopment potential” for retail and hotels when the zoo is fully redeveloped under the Mandai rejuvenation project.
