The Tengah New Town is a 700ha development that will integrate nature in it. It will feature five development zones, each with its own unique identity. It was announced on 8 September 2016, with the first units to be released in 2018. The town could potentially yield up to 42,000 new homes, with more than 70 per cent of the units allocated for public housing, which would take up to two decades to complete. Tengah would feature a car-free town centre; the first in Singapore, and will be served by the future Jurong Region Line. Plantation, the first district out of five, was unveiled on 4 September 2018. The district pays homage to the farmers who resided there back in the 1950s. The first flats were launched on 13 November 2018.

Punggol 21
Punggol 21 is a development initiative that plans to develop the mostly undeveloped town of Punggol into a residential new town. Currently, the southern parts of Punggol are developed, mostly with HDB flats. There are ongoing projects to build a town centre, supposedly with an air-conditioned bus interchange. A man-made canal called Punggol Waterway was built, connecting the Serangoon Reservoir and Punggol Reservoir. Many developments are proposed to be built along the canal, such as shopping centres and many more HDB flats. There will be recreation clubs, community centres, sports clubs, polyclinics and many others, attracting many people to live and visit Punggol. There are plans to develop Punggol Point, which currently only has a beach. It will propose to have a seafood restaurant and maybe more HDB flats in the near vicinity. More parking lots are under construction, and this will attract many people to the presently remote beach. The northwest of Punggol will be developed and the West Loop of the Punggol LRT Line will be in operation, serving the area.

Kampong Bugis
Announced during the 2017 Budget, Kampong Bugis is a new waterfront development zone in Singapore, which will be given to a master developer, giving flexibility in planning the town layouts as opposed to carving each land plot by itself.

The land plots are able to cater over 5,000 new residential units. There are also plans to widen nearby roads to meet the increase traffic contributed by the new homes in the area. A new park by the Geylang River will be built in between two of the plots.

As it has been more than a decade since the last launch of new homes in the area, the three land plots will be able to support housing demand in Tanjong Rhu.

The first two plots were launched in 2024 with the first Build-to-Order (BTO) housing project named Tanjong Rhu Riverfront I and II.

Bayshore
First announced on 16 October 2017, the new 60-hectare Bayshore district, located adjacent to East Coast Park, will comprise more than 10,000 Housing and Development Board (HDB) and private residential units.

Marina South
First announced as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Master Plan 2014, the future 21.5-hectare Marina South precinct will house over 9,000 private residential units built next to Gardens by the Bay. The precinct is envisioned to be a car-lite and pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood. Retail shops and community facilities/amenities will be located at street level, followed by residences above, for increased convenience.

Major arterial roads in the area will also be realigned to create "wind corridors" where winds during the monsoon seasons will be funneled into the area. Future buildings in the precinct will also feature varying heights to channel air downwards to the surface. Each building will also be located further apart for better ventilation. All of these would facilitate better wind flow, resulting in a lower ambient temperature and comfort for those in the precinct.

On 12 January 2022, it was announced that the upcoming Marina South MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT line will remain closed until surrounding housing developments are completed.

Lentor Hills
First announced as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Master Plan 2014, the existing 30-hectare forest bordering Teacher's Estate will be cleared for the development of private homes. Located near Lentor MRT station, the new neighbourhood is planned around the existing hillock. Two green plots of the existing forests will be kept, along with new parks such as a Linear Park and the main Hillock Park. A mixed-use development with retail amenities, Lentor Modern, will be built above Lentor MRT station to serve residents in the area.

Springleaf
Announced by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on 6 June 2023, portions of Springleaf will be developed as a mixed-use site with residential and commercial developments surrounding Springleaf MRT station.

Aside from having small footprints to minimise loss of habitat, upcoming buildings will also feature greener facades to avoid colliding with birds.

Spanning more than 30-hectares, the site will retain some natural and heritage elements such as the former Seletar Institute and Nee Soon Post Office. Approximately half of the site will be a new park named Nee Soon Nature Park to act as a buffer and extension of the nearby Central Catachment Nature Reserve and an ecological link with the Khatib Bongsu Nature Park that is set to open in the near future. The existing Sungei Selatar will also be retained and integrated into the new park containing a rare freshwater swamp forest habitat.

Mount Pleasant
Announced on 23 November 2021, approximately 5,000 Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats will be built on the Old Police Academy site in Mount Pleasant.

Heritage elements from the old academy, surrounding greenery, and pre-war colonial bungalows will be integrated into the design of the new estate. Four existing Old Police Academy buildings and a part of the parade square will be retained and refreshed into community spaces. Surrounded by residential blocks with sky and roof gardens, a low-rise neighbourhood centre, designed to be open and green, will house amenities such as retail units.

The first Build-to-Order (BTO) housing project is set to be launched in 2025. This will be the first of six BTO projects in the estate.

On 12 January 2022, it was announced that the upcoming Mount Pleasant MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT line will remain closed until surrounding housing developments are completed.

Public housing units in the prime area will be using a new pricing model to lessen the effect where owners sell their units at much higher prices than initially purchased at subsidised rates from the Housing and Development Board (HDB).

Dover Forest
Announced by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on 30 July 2021, the revised development plan for the 33 hectare Dover Forest, located in Queenstown, will see the approximately 11-hectare eastern half of the forest be developed for public housing while the western half of the forest will be temporarily preserved due to its rich biodiversity.

The eastern half of the forest will feature five hectares of greenery, including a park with a natural stream. Also, housing blocks will be designed to take into consideration the existing Ulu Pandan canal, which will be upgraded. For example, blocks nearer to the canal will be lower than the rest of the development to achieve a tiered effect and maximise views of the canal. A commercial development housing amenities will be built near Dover MRT station to provide a link between the station and the developed area.

Plans for the western half of the forest will be reviewed in 2030 when further development is required. However, a portion of it will be safeguarded as a nature park.

In addition, as Singapore's first car-lite HDB precinct, the new estate will see roads placed only along its perimeter, away from pedestrain walkways and cycling paths.

The estate was launched in 2022 with its first Build-to-Order (BTO) housing project named Ulu Pandan Banks.

Dakota Crescent
To be redeveloped into a mixed-use precinct, the existing Dakota Crescent area will be largely revitalised with new public housing developments planned around six preserved Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) blocks and the iconic dove playground that were built in the 1950s. Although not formally gazetted for conservation, the central cluster of SIT-built blocks will be retained and repurposed for civic and community uses due to their historical significance as one of Singapore's first public housing projects built before the formation of the current Housing and Development Board (HDB).

All residents previously residing in the 17 low-rise SIT blocks have vacated in 2017.

In February 2022, the first Build-to-Order (BTO) housing project, Dakota Crest, located in the former site of the low-rise flats was launched.

Tanglin Halt
One of Singapore's oldest housing estates, the Tanglin Halt estate in Queenstown will be redeveloped over the next ten to fifteen years with 5,500 new Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats.

Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS)
The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) is an upcoming 4 km cross-border light-rail link between Bukit Changar in Johor Bahru and Woodlands North MRT station in Singapore. It will transport approximately 10,000 passengers per hour each way to ease traffic on the already-congested Causeway. Facilities for customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) will be co-located, where passengers will only be required to undergo border clearance once, during departure.

Initially to be located as part of the Thomson-East Coast MRT line Mandai Depot, the RTS link depot will be relocated to Johor Bahru instead. Furthermore, the RTS link will be an independent Light Rail Transit (LRT) system rather than using the existing Thomson-East Coast MRT line's system as proposed initially.

Construction of the RTS Link Woodlands North station has begun on 22 January 2021. The station, to be constructed underground, will feature an underground link to the CIQ building and connected via an underground concourse to the existing Woodlands North MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast MRT line. On the other hand, construction for the viaduct and tunnels is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2021. The entire system is expected to begin operations in January 2027, replacing the current KTM shuttle train between the countries.

Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6)
To be completed by 2026, the 4 km extension will run from Marina Bay through Keppel, ending at HarbourFront and will close the gap between the Harbourfront and Marina Bay stations, so that the Circle Line is fully orbital.

Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub
Set to begin construction in the second quarter of 2021, the upcoming Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub will house community and civic institutions, a 27-storey office tower, and the new Jurong East Bus Interchange. It will also feature a 90-metre sky bridge above the existing train viaducts, connecting the office tower to an 8-storey podium block. Situated at Jurong East MRT station, the integrated transport hub will provide direct connectivity and more convenient transfers between the North South line, East West line, and the upcoming Jurong Region line.

The integrated transport hub is scheduled to be completed by 2027.

Tuas Mega Port
The S$20 billion Tuas Mega Port started its first phase of construction in 2016, with the second phase in 2019. To be opened in four stages from 2021, the port will consolidate all existing port operations at Tanjong Pagar, Pasir Panjang, Keppel, and Pulau Brani, and centralise it in the Tuas Terminal from 2027. When fully operational, the port can potentially handle a capacity of about 65 million TEUs a year, double of the current capacity. New technologies will be employed to increase productivity.

Approximately twice the size of Ang Mo Kio town, when fully operational in 2040, the Tuas Mega Port will be the world's largest fully automated terminal, with features such as automated wharf and yard functions, and fully-electric automated guided vehicles to carry out its key operations. The project broke ground on 3 October 2019.

To optimise land use, an area for leisure purposes is currently under study. The plan is to construct a 150 hectare area that will be elevated 42 metres above ground to house recreational amenities such as cafes, retail stores, and a jogging track. Large retail outlets such as Tesco and Decathlon are being considered to bring in weekend crowds. The area will be partly opened for public use and its accessibility will be greatly improved if plans for the Tuas South MRT Extension on the East West line come into fruition.

Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC)
The first in Southeast Asia, the upcoming 50-hectare Integrated Train Testing Centre (ITTC) will be equipped to test the rail systems of Singapore 24/7, without causing any disruptions to regular passenger services. This will free up the already-limited engineering hours on the existing train lines for other crucial activities such as maintenance and renewal works. It will house an operations control centre, testing equipment, and test track for performance integration, and endurance and high speed testing for new trains and supporting systems. For major refurbishment of existing trains, the centre will also contain a rolling stock workshop, stabling tracks, and maintenance tracks.

The centre, located at the former Raffles Country Club in Tuas, will begin operations in phases, with the first phase to be completed by 2023 to receive new trains and test systems for the Circle line Stage 6. It is expected to be fully operational by 2025.

East Coast Integrated Depot
To be the first in the world to integrate three train depots and a bus depot within a single site when completed, the upcoming S$3.2 billion East Coast Integrated Depot will occupy approximately 36 hectare of land. In total, the depot will have a storage capacity of 220 trains and 760 buses. The building will be using a stacked approach, stacking three independently operated train depots above one another. The Downtown line depot will be located underground, followed by the Thomson-East Coast line depot on ground level and the East West line depot on the level above it. On the other hand, the adjacent three-storey bus depot will house workshops on the first level with the remaining two levels being parking bays. The integrated design will save 44 hectare of land and S$2 billion as compared to constructing four separate depots.

The depot is scheduled to be completed by 2026.

Pasir Panjang Bus Depot
Announced by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on 16 August 2023, a new bus depot will be built on the existing 4-hectare Pasir Panjang Distripark site to support bus operations in Southern Singapore. With a capacity of over 500 buses, the depot will house a seven-storey building fitted with electric bus chargers and solar panels, workers' quarters, and other ancillary buildings.

The bus depot is expected to be completed by 2029.

Simpang Bus Depot
Set to be built by 2029 to support bus operations in the northern region of Singapore, the new multi-storey bus depot located along Yishun Avenue 8 will sit on a 5.6-hectare site opposite Yishun Industrial Park. Designed to house 500 buses, the depot consists of a four-storey main building, transport workers' quarters, and ancillary buildings.

Revealed to be a replacement depot, the upcoming Simpang Bus Depot will replace an unannounced existing bus depot.

Lorong Halus Bus Depot
Located on a 6-hectare site along Serangoon River Road, the upcoming Lorong Halus Bus Depot is a four-storey depot built to house 550 buses. Similar to the upcoming Simpang Bus Depot, the Lorong Halus Bus Depot will replace an existing bus depot in the eastern region of Singapore once completed.

Interim HarbourFront Ferry and Cruise Terminal
To be developed by Mapletree, a two-storey interim facility to house the operations of the HabourFront Ferry and Cruise Terminal will be built to relocate existing operations away from HarbourFront Centre as it is being redeveloped. No new piers will be built as existing jetties and pontoons in the area will be relocated while a covered linkbridge will connect the interim terminal to the existing pier serving the current terminal. A sheltered connection to the nearby HarbourFront Tower One will also be built as part of the construction.

Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040)
Announced on 25 May 2019, the Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040) reveals the long-term plans to meet the transport needs of Singaporeans over the next two decades.

Two new stations will be added on the North South line. Brickland MRT station, to be located between Choa Chu Kang MRT station and Bukit Gombak MRT station, will serve residents living in the surrounding areas and the upcoming Tengah New Town. Sungei Kadut MRT station, to be located between Yew Tee MRT station and Kranji MRT station, will serve industries in the area as well as the upcoming Sungei Kadut Eco-District. Both stations are scheduled to be opened by the mid-2030s.

The Downtown line will be extended to the future Sungei Kadut MRT station. This will result in the terminus to be shifted from the current Bukit Panjang MRT station to Sungei Kadut MRT station. It will interchange with the North South line. The extension is scheduled to operational by the mid-2030s, when the Sungei Kadut MRT station is completed.

The Thomson-East Coast line will also be extended, with an additional MRT station serving the future Changi Airport Terminal 5. The current East West line branch from Tanah Merah MRT station to Changi Airport MRT station will also be converted and linked up as part of the Thomson-East Coast line extension. The extension is scheduled to be completed by 2040. Preparation works are set to begin in 2025, where the three existing stations will be modified and converted into Thomon-East Coast line stations.

A new MRT line that is being proposed as part of the master plan is currently under study. If feasible, it will run between Woodlands and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, serving parts of Sembawang, Sengkang, Serangoon North, Whampoa, and Kallang along the way.

Other than the MRT network, more Transit Priority Corridors (TPC) and Integrated Transport Hubs (ITH) will be built to improve the bus network and its connectivity. Overall, the LTMP 2040 aims to ensure the land transport system of Singapore is more seamless and convenient, inclusive, safer, and cleaner.

Tampines Walking and Cycling Town
After Ang Mo Kio, Tampines will be the second walking and cycling town in Singapore when works to improve the town's infrastructure are completed. The total length of cycling paths in Tampines will be three times more than the current length. Furthermore, footpaths will be widened and roads will be redesigned and rebuilt. The existing cycling paths in the town will also be widened, while existing bicycle crossings will have additional signs and markings. All of these aim to make walking and cycling within the town safer and more convenient.

A new project by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) was launched in July 2022 to add another 8 kilometres of cycling paths in Tampines to better connect its residents to the town centre. This includes a cycling bridge over the Tampines Expressway (TPE) to connect Tampines and Pasir Ris, and a cycling underpass to connect Tampines and Simei.

PIE Cycling Link
Announced by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on 5 October 2023, a cycling bridge over the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) will be built near St Andrew's Junior School. Set to be Singapore's longest elevated cycling bridge, the 682-metre bridge is part of the Bishan-to-city cycling route to reduce commuting time for cyclists to the city.

The bridge, expected to be completed by 2027, will feature resting areas and a lift that can fit wheelchairs and cyclists with their bicycles.

Expansion of Sengkang Depot
Announced by the Land Transport Authority on 5 February 2021, Sengkang Depot, specifically the depot for the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines, will be expanded from 3.5 hectare to 11.1 hectare to cater for the upcoming fleet expansion of both LRT lines. Situated above the North East MRT line's depot, the expansion will include a new train stabling area, a maintenance workshop, and three new traction power stations. Two reception tracks will also be built to shorten the train launching time.

Construction began in end-2022 and is scheduled to be completed by 2027.

Upgrading of Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal
Announced by the Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) on 2 February 2024, the existing Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal will be upgraded as part of a plan to modernise its facilities and increase its capacity by 20%. The S$20 million upgrade will feature more automated processes such as self check-in counters and bag drop machines along with automated immigration clearance gates similar to those at the airport.

Aside from new ferry operator counters and more food and beverage options for passengers, the deparature hall will also be expanded and redesigned to increase its capacity by 70% with an additional lounge.

Upgrading works is set to be completed by January 2025.

Realignment of Merpati Road
Located near Mattar MRT station, the existing one-way Merpati Road will be realigned and expanded to a dual two-lane road going in each direction to prepare for future residential developments in the surrounding area. Aside from Merpati Road, the adjacent Jalan Anggerek will also be realigned.

The roadworks are expected to be completed by December 2026, after three blocks of Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats along Merpati Road are demolished by 2024.

SGH Campus Master Plan
Unveiled on 5 February 2016, the 43-hectare Singapore General Hospital (SGH) Campus at Outram will be redeveloped and expanded over the next two decades. Patient care facilities will take up 60% of the land, with the remaining 40% dedicated to research and education purposes anchored by the Duke-NUS Medical School and a new Research Park. The master plan will be carried out in two phases. Phase 1 includes new developments such as the already-completed Outram Community Hospital, SGH Accident & Emergency Block, SGH Elective Care Centre, a new National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS), and a new National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS). After the completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 will begin with the development of an entirely new SGH complex.

The road network within the campus will also be improved and extended with increased road capacity to provide better connectivity between the developments. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be separated to allow faster access for ambulances and patients while easing congestion on the campus. To improve accessibility and convenience for patients and visitors, facilities with high patient volume such as the new NDCS and NCCS and the new SGH complex will be relocated closer to Outram Park MRT station.

Health City Novena
Unveiled on 30 August 2013, the 17 hectare Health City Novena is an upcoming integrated healthcare complex that will physically link up 10 buildings including, the Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), a medical school, and public and volunteer healthcare facilities in the area. The master plan includes an Ambulatory Centre at TTSH, the already-completed National Centre for Infectious Disease (NCID), an expanded National Skin Centre and National Healthcare Group headquarters, and a new Integrated Intermediate Care Hub (IICH) comprising Dover Park Hospice and a community hospital that will be connected to TTSH and Ren Ci Hospital for seamless patient transfers.

Other than offering a full range of holistic care experiences, Health City Novena will also encompass health services, research and education, commercial, leisure, and public spaces.

The entire development is expected to be completed by 2030.

EGH Campus
Announced on 5 March 2020, there will be a new 1,400-bed integrated hospital campus in the east of Singapore to ease the load on the existing Changi General Hospital (CGH) - currently the only hospital in the east. The tech-enabled hospital, located next to Bedok North MRT station, will be Singapore's 12th public general hospital and is to be managed by SingHealth. The general hospital, Eastern General Hospital, will provide emergency services alongside inpatient and specialist outpatient services, while the community hospital, Eastern Community Hospital, will provide intermediate services such as rehabilitation to support patients who are discharged from the general hospital.

The pandemic-ready hospital will begin operating virtual wards in 2026 via teleconsulations and monitoring patients at home remotely before it is fully operational by 2030.

NUH Campus Master Plan
Announced on 15 May 2024, the existing National University Hospital campus will be redeveloped from 2025. Similar to the SGH Campus master plan, the entire redevelopment plan will span over a decade, with added hospital capacity, better land use, and improvement works to the existing road network.

Tengah Integrated General and Community Hospital
Set to be completed by the early 2030s, the upcoming integrated general and community hospital in Tengah is built to serve the new Tengah town and the growing population in other parts of the western region of Singapore. The new hospital will be operated by the National University Health System (NUHS).

Serangoon Polyclinic
Announced on 8 December 2019, Serangoon Polyclinic is an upcoming polyclinic located opposite NEX Shopping Mall in Serangoon. It will be part of an integrated healthcare facility that will also house an active ageing hub and a kidney dialysis centre. The polyclinic will be providing similar services offered at other polyclinics nationwide.

When completed by 2025, Serangoon Polyclinic will be the largest polyclinic in Singapore by floor area.

Redevelopment of Alexandra Hospital
Announced on 5 March 2020, Alexandra Hospital will be redeveloped and expanded from 12.2 hectare to 13.1 hectare. The total number of beds will be increased from 300 beds to 1,300 beds as part of the expansion. The redevelopment will allow for greater accessibility from Queensway, and house more spaces for trials on new care models. It will also place focus on preserving the hospital's history and heritage, where conserved Blocks 1, 2, and 6 will be retained. Instead of the current urgent care centre, a new pandemic-ready emergency department directly connected to intensive care units and operating theatres will be built to better serve emergency medical cases. In addition to the expansion of the main hospital, a 400-bed nursing home will also be built in a separate building located within the campus.

The redevelopment is estimated to be completed in phases from 2028 with the addition of two high-rise towers.

Refurbishment of Mount Elizabeth Hospital
Named "Project Renaissance", the refurbishment of Mount Elizabeth Hospital at Orchard will cost approximately S$350 million and take three years to complete. The project will see a new drop-off area and hospital lobby, upgrades to the hospital's equipment and existing technology, and an expansion to the emergency department and treatment centres.

The refurbishment works will be carried out in phases with certain services being temporarily relocated to minimise disruptions.

Proposed dementia care village
Announced on 16 July 2019, Singapore will be building its first dementia care village to care for dementia patients and improve their quality of life and residential options available to them. The special village will be built on a site in Gibraltar Crescent near Sembawang Park. The site houses 10 cluster bungalows, which are to be remained, across two land plots. Other than providing a safe, home-like environment, the village will also offer customised services and programmes to foster meaningful and active interaction among its residents.

On 19 May 2020, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has rejected the sole tender of the site as the bid of S$15 million was deemed to be too low.

Even though there are no bids for the Sembawang site, Perennial won a tender for a private assisted living development at Parry Avenue in Kovan that can house approximately 400 seniors.

Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Punggol Campus
Part of the upcoming Punggol Digital District (PDD), the currently-under-construction Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) campus in Punggol will consolidate all degree programmes offered by the university under one campus. Currently, the university is located in a main campus at Dover and five satellite campuses in polytechnics across the island. The new 91,000 square-metre centralised campus in Punggol will have a capacity of up to 12,000 students.

The campus will be co-located with the new JTC business park to foster greater student-industry collaboration. SIT and JTC have exchanged 8,000 square metres of space, allowing industry partners to operate within the SIT campus, and student attending classes in the JTC buildings. Buildings of both developments will be linked by a Collaboration Loop.

Aside from auditoriums and indoor sports facilities, two 10-storey academic blocks will house classrooms, laboratories, and group learning spaces linked by an elevated canopy walk. An 11-storey Admin Block will house approximately 2,200 administrative staff and faculty, while another 10-storey building, named the Learning Hub, will be fitted with a solar panel roof, where energy generated will be transferred into the grid which integrates gas, electricity, and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network. The entire development will be the first university in South-east Asia to have a multi-energy micro grid network that draws energy from various sources.

The ground level spaces of the campus will also accessible to the general public. Aside from a market village and a foodcourt facing the waterfront, 1.7 hectare of an existing forest along Punggol Road will be conserved to create a forest courtyard, giving the campus a distinctive 'campus-in-a-park' identity. The existing Punggol Road will also be transformed into a 1.3 km heritage trail, running through the campus and to the waterfront.

The campus, estimated to cost more than S$1 billion, is now expected to be completed by 2024.

Ngee Ann Kongsi Building (Expansion of LASALLE College of the Arts)
A new S$50 million, 20,000 square-metre 12-storey block, directly connected to Rochor MRT station, will be built on a 6,000 m2 site adjacent to the existing LASALLE College of the Arts McNally Street campus to centralise the school's facilities. With the expansion, students will not need to travel to different campuses for classes. The expansion will include new facilities such as a 300-seat lecture theatre, a music recital hall, a film studio, and new public galleries. The new building, to be built with the S$50 million donation from Ngee Ann Kongsi, will also feature a glass facade that opens out to Rochor Canal Road.

Construction will begin from 2021 and is expected to be completed by 2025.

Valour House
Currently under construction within the National University of Singapore campus in Kent Ridge, Valour House is an upcoming sports-themed hostel development for the school's athletes and sports fans to interact with each other via common interests due to its close proximity to the university's sports centre. Expected to accommodate 600 students, half of it will be reserved for atheletes and those who display sporting excellence.

It is expected to be completed by August 2025.

Mandai Nature Project
Currently under construction outside the Nature Reserves, the 126 hectare Mandai Nature Precinct will be majorly rejuvenated. Jurong Bird Park will be relocated from its current site at Jurong and rejuvenated in the new precinct with a new name - Bird Paradise, as well as an addition of a new park named Rainforest Wild.

When fully completed, the precinct will be home to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, and Rainforest Wild.

The new 17-hectare Bird Paradise will allow visitors to observe free-flying birds in their natural habitats at the nine new aviaries themed with different landscapes from around the world, such as wetlands, bamboo forests, and rainforests. It will also house a breeding and research facility to increase the populations of endangered species. Bird Paradise has sinced opened in May 2023.

The new 12.6-hectare Rainforest Wild, which aspires to be an authentic representation of the rainforests in Southeast Asia and Africa, will allow visitors to go on aerial walkways that extend from the forest floor to the treetop canopies, or relax in the cool forest in suspended pods. Rainforest Wild Asia will feature wheelchair-friendly boardwalks and forest trails along with a 220-metre-long cavern that is inspired by the Mulu Caves in Sarawak. On the other hand, Rainforest Wild Africa will debut never before seen animals in Singapore set against an Afro-Tropical and Madagascar-inspired landscape.

Home-grown hospitality group, Banyan Tree, has been appointed to develop and operate the eco-resort, which will be built on a 4.6 hectare site currently housing the Singapore Zoo's back-of-house facilities. The 338-room resort will provide guests with an "immersive stay close to nature" and an "unprecedented access" to nature during their stay. Other than standard and family rooms in a four-storey building, the resort will also offer 24 elevated cabins and treehouses. Guests will also be able to go on guided nature walks, native wildlife spotting tours, and workshops. The resort will adopt an environmentally design and construction, and operate along sustainable principles. When completed, the resort will be Singapore's first Super Low Energy resort. Mandai Rainforest Resort is scheduled to open in the first half of 2025.

Two arrival nodes, namely West Arrival Node and East Arrival Node, will also be constructed to welcome visitors into the entire precinct. The West Arrival Node will include a breath-taking view of a waterfall set amidst a "luxuriantly-landscaped" cavern. It will also feature a landscaped deck to connect visitors between the two new wildlife parks. The node has sinced opened as Mandai Wildlife West in May 2023, along with Bird Paradise. The East Arrival Node, which is envisioned as a forest courtyard, will feature a synergy of nature and architecture. It will serve as the arrival and entry point for the existing three attractions, a nature-themed indoor attraction and the Banyan Tree resort. The East Arrival Node will also house a basement transportation hub, creating a vehicle-free environment at surface level for public performances and events.

Public spaces with no admission charges, such as nature trails, boardwalks, outdoor seating, and playgrounds will also be added.

On 13 October 2021, Mandai Wildlife Group introduced a rebranding of the five parks, unveiling new logos and the renaming of River Safari and Jurong Bird Park to River Wonders and Bird Paradise, respectively.

The 5-in-1 eco-tourism hub is scheduled to be fully completed in an environmentally-sustainable and sensitive manner by 2024.

Expansion of Integrated Resorts
Announced on 3 April 2019, the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be expanded, with the plans costing S$9 billion.

Marina Bay Sands (MBS)
The MBS will build a new 15,000-seat indoor entertainment arena, as well as a fourth tower containing 587 hotel all-suite rooms, a sky roof with a swimming pool and a "signature restaurant". New ballrooms, exhibition halls will be built with food and beverage options to expand. The tower will be located next to the existing development.

The timeline of the expansion has been announced by the URA to be completed latest by April 8, 2028.

Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)
The RWS will have two new attractions, Minion Land and Super Nintendo World, at Universal Studios Singapore. The existing S.E.A. Aquarium will expand thrice its current size and be rebranded as the Singapore Oceanarium.

In addition, RWS will also add two new hotels with a total capacity of 1,100 rooms and a future lifestyle complex at the waterfront. The waterfront promenade will be revamped to include new night shows and an event zone, with a new Adventure Dining Playhouse to replace the existing Resorts World Theatre. A driverless system will also be built across the Sentosa Boardwalk for better connectivity.

RWS's new attractions will open in phases, yearly from 2020, and expected to be fully completed by 2025. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expansion has been announced that it will be delayed due to disruptions in the global supply chain. A re-design to the expansion will also be carried out to ensure adaptability to the post COVID-19 environment.

On 26 May 2022, work for the new Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore began with a groundbreaking ceremony. The expansion is expected to be operationally-ready in 2024. It will house multiple rides including the motion-simulator 3D ride - Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, and a ride that will be the first of its kind in the world and exclusive to Universal Studios Singapore.

Additional Gaming Provisions and Casino Levies/Taxes Increase
MBS and RWS, should they decide to expand gaming facilities, will be allowed space of 2,000 square metres and 500 square metres respectively adding to the current 15,000 sq m each, with 1,000 and 800 new machines respectively on top of the 2,500 each. This will still lead to a drop in approved gaming areas from 3.1 per cent to 2.3 per cent given the increase in non-gaming areas.

As a result of these changes, the exclusivity period of the IRs will be extended to end-2030, with casino levies for Singaporeans and PRs increasing to S$150 daily and S$3,000 annually, taking effect on 4 April 2019. From August 2019, a second daily or annual casino entry levy can only be purchased if the current levy expires within six hours, taking effect after six hours of purchase.

From March 2022, casino tax rates will also increase from the current 5 per cent and 15 per cent for premium and mass gaming, respectively, to a two-tier tax rates of 8 per cent and 12 per cent (premium) and 18 per cent and 22 per cent (mass) based on the total gross gaming revenue earned. A flat tax rate of 22 per cent (mass) and 12 per cent (premium) will be imposed should the IRs' investment commitments fail. The tax rates will remain unchanged for 10 years.

Sentosa-Brani Master Plan
Sentosa and Pulau Brani will be transformed under the Sentosa-Brani Master Plan. First proposed in 2018, the plans will span the next two to three decades, with both islands divided into five zones. "Vibrant Cluster", will have large-scale attractions spanning both islands, while "Island Heart" will feature hotels, commercial and conference spaces. "Waterfront" will have a Discovery Park situated in Pulau Brani, while "Ridgeline" will connect green spaces from Mount Faber to Mount imbiah, featuring nature and heritage attractions. "Beachfront" will have a water show, fairgrounds and other attractions to rejuvenate Sentosa's beaches. Transportation will be enhanced too.

In addition, a future "Downtown South" resort, similar to the current NTUC Downtown East in Pasir Ris, will be located on Pulau Brani once the port moves out in 2027. A suitable location is still being worked out with the National Trades Union Congress.

The first project to be built will be the S$90 million Sentosa Sensoryscape, a themed two-tiered thoroughfare connecting Resorts World Sentosa and the southern beaches, replacing the current linkway. It will have look-out points, water features and other architectural elements, thereby creating a multi-sensory experience. When completed by end 2023, the Sentosa Sensoryscape will double the current linkway capacity, being as large as 5$1/2$ football fields. As a result, the Sentosa Merlion will be demolished from year-end, with its last day of operations on 20 October 2019. The four shops around Sentosa Merlion started closing from the next day onwards.

The current Police Coast Guard headquarters on Pulau Brani will stay put.

NS Square
First announced in 2017 and a reveal of the artist's impressions and further details on 9 August 2020, the NS Square is set to replace the existing Marina Bay floating platform (The Float @ Marina Bay) and is envisioned to be the central focus of the new downtown area. The development will be aligned on a central axis, with The Promontory on the opposite side of the bay, offering a panoramic view of the city skyline.

Like its predecessor, the NS Square will continue to host future National Day Parades, as well as a new addition of a permanent gallery dedicated to national servicemen (NSmen) and honour their past and present contributions. The NS Square will be a permanent space for large-scale national events and has a seating capacity of 30,000. It will also include community sports facilities, such as a swimming pool and water sports centre, as well as a waterfront promenade with F&B and retail outlets that will improve pedestrian connectivity.

If the Singapore Grand Prix is extended beyond 2021, the temporary closure of the floating platform for construction works of the NS Square will affect the race's Bay Grandstand. A realignment to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, particularly the 300-metre stretch from Turns 16 to 19 along the floating platform, will also have to be carried out. This will be the first major adjustment to the circuit since 2008.

The project is expected to be completed by 2027.

Founders' Memorial
WIth construction works officially beginning on 5 June 2024, the 5 hectare Founders' Memorial at Gardens by the Bay's Bay East Garden, is scheduled to be completed in 2028 to honour the pioneer leaders of Singapore. The building will feature clean architecture lines and a flowing linear green terrain, with lush greenery and foliage, that leads visitors to an amphitheatre that is suitable for large-scale gatherings. The waterfront site will offer visitors a clear view of the Singapore skyline. Other than the amphitheatre, the building will also feature a viewing gallery, permanent and temporary galleries, a visitor centre, multi-purpose rooms, a lake, and a forest trail.

The Founders' Memorial will be served by the future Founders' Memorial MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast line, which will be opened in tandem with the development.

Porsche Experience Centre Singapore
Set to be Porsche's first experience centre in Southeast Asia and the eleventh centre worldwide, the Porsche Experience Centre Singapore will be located adjacent the existing Changi Exhibition Centre. It will feature a 2km handling track and an aftersales facility alongside other family-friendly experiences including themed exhibitions and racing simulators.

It is expected to be completed by 2027 and will be Singapore's first permanent facility focused on driving.

New Science Centre Singapore
Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the new Science Centre Singapore will be larger than the current centre to house more gallery spaces for thematic exhibitions and enhanced educational facilities such as specialised laboratories for visitors to conduct hands-on experiments and create new inventions. It will also have more outdoor programmes for visitors to explore the interaction between nature and science. The centre will also have a maker space for organisations to test their prototypes or for creators to use a 3D-printer. A new observatory, outdoor activity plaza, and children's gallery will also be part of the new centre.

The new centre, set to be completed by 2027, will be located at a waterfront site next to Chinese Garden MRT station. The existing centre will continue to operate until the new centre opens, before being repurposed for other uses.

Expansion of Singapore Art Museum (SAM)
Currently closed for renovation works, the S$90 million revamp of the Singapore Arts Museum (SAM) will be completed in 2026. A 1,200 square-metre "floating" sky gallery with column-free spaces is part of the expansion plans. A double-volume atrium entryway and outdoor plaza will also be built to welcome visitors arriving from the Bras Basah MRT station. Furthermore, a new gallery-cum-bridge will be constructed to offer a seamless connection and museum experience between the old St Joseph's Institution and former Catholic High School buildings, which are also occupied by SAM. The existing driveway at the Bras Basah entrance will also be converted into a lawn for pedestrians. Due to the expansion, a new facade featuring reflective glass panels angled towards and reflecting the existing dome of the original heritage main building will be seen from Bras Basah Road.

In total, the expansion will add 30 per cent more exhibition space to the property.

Expansion of Gardens by the Bay
Upgrades and expansion works are currently underway at Gardens by the Bay to increase its overall capacity and stay relevant in the tourism sector while being financially sustainable.

Bay East Garden
Located across the existing Bay South Garden, the upcoming Bay East Garden is set to expand the current Gardens by the Bay by close to 31 hectare. The new garden will house the Founders' Memorial, which is currently under construction. It will be split into two themed zones, one inspired by the past and the other by the future. The past zone will feature native and naturalised plant species, and heritage trees such as the tembusu tree that was commonly planted in the past. On the other hand, the future zone will feature a wetland where greenery is integrated with the urban landscape.

A bridge connecting Bay South Garden and Bay East Garden is currently being studied. A tender for its design will be called by the end of 2022.

Bay East Garden is expected to be completed in 2027, alongside the new Founders' Memorial.

Experiential Attraction at Kingfisher Wetlands
Currently in the planning phase, a new experiential attraction at Gardens by the Bay will incorporate elements of augmented and virtual realities to provide visitors with a different experience in the 1.5-hecatre Kingfisher Wetlands. Construction will take approximately three years.

Revamp of Cloud Forest Dome
A revamp of the exhibition space and the Cloud Forest Gallery in the Cloud Forest dome will begin in May 2024, where both of the spaces will provide an immersive and educational experience for visitors. At the same time, the Orchid Haven will also undergo refurbishment as part of upgrading works to the overall gardens.

Upgrades to Bay South Family Zone
A woodland-themed playground is currently under construction and will open in 2025. In addition, the existing community garden within the Active Garden will be revamped with a shelter by end-2024 for better accessibility, along with barrier-free walkways and elevated planting beds.

A food and beverage outlet serving a horticulture-themed menu will also be introduced in the garden, replacing the existing Mylo cafe.

Future Plans
The design team for Gardens by the Bay has revealed that there are plans for a new domed conservatory. This will be the third dome after the existing Flower Dome and Cloud Forest domes.

The existing outdoor event space, The Meadow, would also be further developed to cater for mid-sized concerts. An underground carpark to increase the garden's parking capacity and a new attraction featuring a nocturnal garden may also be added to the existing area.

Officially ground-broken on 25 November 2019, the NS Hub, which occupies a land area of approximately nine hectares, will house the Central Manpower Base (CMPB), Military Medicine Institute (MMI), and a new Fitness Conditioning Centre to meet all the services that pre-enlistees and Operationally Ready National Servicemen (NSmen) need. The hub will also include an e-Mart for NSmen to stock up on their necessary NS equipment such as combat boots and admin t-shirts.

Currently, pre-enlistees attend medical screenings at the CMPB located at Depot Road, and the MMI located at Kent Ridge for other specialist medical services. As for NSmen, they currently take their IPPT at various locations. However, with the NS Hub, national servicemen will not need to report to various locations across Singapore for different NS services.

The NS Hub will also be utilising technology such as facial recognition, automation, and analytics to improve visitor experience.

Other than NSmen, the public will also be able to use the facilities at the NS Hub.

The centre is expected to be completed by 2032.

Expansion of Woodlands Checkpoint
First announced on 30 March 2017 by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the current Woodlands Checkpoint will be expanded with the addition of a new wing to be built at the site of the Old Woodlands Town Centre, adjacent to the checkpoint. The approximately 8-hectare site will help to boost clearance capacity and meet growing cross-border traffic needs.

While demolition works are being carried out at the site, the ICA is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the optimal design of the expansion and the extent of the upgrading and redevelopment works. However, the ICA did not state if the new wing will be meant for vehicular or human traffic, nor state the completion date of the expansion.

On 26 May 2022, the ICA announced that the expansion will include areas aside from the Old Woodands Town Centre. This updated plan will involve the acquisition of nine Housing and Development Board (HDB) blocks located adjacent to the existing checkpoint by the second quarter of 2028. Apart from the added capacity, the expansion will also see "flexi-lanes" that are equipped to clear cars and motorcycles, thereby reducing clearance time. To support the expanded checkpoint, surrounding roads and the existing Bukit Timah Expressway will be extended and upgraded to funnel traffic directly to and from the new extension. This first phase of the expansion consists of 21 new bidirectional cargo lanes and 78 new arrival car lanes at the Old Woodlands Town Centre extension, and is expected to be completed and operational from 2028. Afterwhich, the old Woodlands Checkpoint will be demolished and redeveloped to integrate with the new extension by 2032.

On 17 March 2024, the ICA and JTC Corporation announced that 44 hectares of land will be reclaimed off the Johor Straits. Reclamation will take place on each side of the Causeway with 34 hectares on the western side and 10 hectares on the eastern side. The western portion will be carried out in two phases and take five years to complete while the eastern portion will be completed within three and a half years. Works will begin in the third quarter of 2024 and end by 2029.

Overall, the Woodlands Checkpoint will be expanded to five times its current size, totalling 95 hectares. Construction will be carried out in several phases starting from 2025, and will be completed in the next ten to fifteen years.

Integrated Services Centre (Expansion of ICA Building)
Announced on 10 December 2019 by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the carpark next to the current ICA Building at Lavender will be replaced by a new 10-storey 24-hour Integrated Services Centre. The centre will be making use of technology, such as self-service kiosks with bio-metric technology, to shorten the process of document pick-ups. Other than providing a convenient one-stop centre offering public services, the new centre will also house a number of service centres, a heritage centre, the Registrar of Societies, and the Casino Regulatory Authority. The current building will also be upgraded with total works estimated to cost S$300 million.

This new facility will more than double the size of the current headquarters and is expected to be operational by 2024.
