Singapore Turf Club Closure Could Field 30000 New Homes SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - On June 5, the Government announced that the Singapore Racecourse site in Kranji will have to close by March 2027. The 120-ha site will be used for housing and other developments. PropNex CEO Ismail Gafoor says the move “reflects the adaptability in the government’s approach to managing land use in Singapore, where land is scarce, but there are many competing needs for space”. Potential redevelopment plans for the sprawling site beside Kranji MRT Station will likely add new public and private residential housing, public green spaces, commercial offerings, and other community services to that Northern region of Singapore, says PropNex.

However, the actual number will vary based on the final development plans.
