Key highlights:
Tengah is the newest HDB town, so to be frank there’s nothing much in the area right now. The current plot will eventually be close to the Hong Kah MRT station; we estimate this to be a roughly six-minute walk.
The site is just across the proposed town park and Tengah Central Road (even the road is not built yet). About another 10 to 12 minutes up the road, you will find the future Tengah MRT station.
This is likely to constitute the town centre; buyers who are thinking long term – and believe this area can be transformed like Jurong – may have an opportunity here.
