Will the Tekong Tunnel Make East Homes Worth More?
Summary
Could an undersea tunnel to Pulau Tekong make homes in Pasir Ris and Changi more valuable? Possibly, but the project is still being studied. With no confirmed route, opening date or public access arrangements, it is too early to assume the tunnel will boost property prices in the East.
What's being proposed: Singapore is studying undersea road tunnels connecting Pulau Tekong to the mainland. Around 500 hectares of land, roughly the size of Toa Payoh, could eventually be available for civilian uses.
Tekong's future is still undecided: There are no confirmed plans for a new residential town. Instead, the Government is exploring potential industrial and utility uses, including a 200-hectare energy infrastructure cluster.
