Future developments in Singapore

This article shows the notable future developments in Singapore. Most developments are found in the Downtown Core of Singapore. Majority of them are currently under construction with most to be completed within the next five years.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the completion dates of a number of developments may be pushed back as a result of the ongoing restrictions and previous "Circuit Breaker" measures, resulting in a temporary halt of many industries, including the construction sector.[1]

This will include the development of new attractions that will be integrated with the existing Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Safari, with plans to relocate the Jurong Bird Park and rejuvenate it in Mandai, and a new park, Rainforest Park will be added in Mandai as well. The idea of a "cageless zoo" is being explored, "where they introduce large immersive habitats where the visitors can immerse themselves in the natural habitats of the animals watching them in their natural behaviours.

In addition to new public spaces and waterfront trails, the space will also be used for research and conservation purposes. This entire project will be made environmentally-sustainable and in a sensitive manner, and will be completed in phases in the next 10 years, with the first phase being scheduled to be completed by 2020.[81]

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.[82][83]

Marina Bay Sands (MBS)

The MBS will build a new 15,000-seat indoor entertainment arena, as well as a fourth tower containing about 1,000 hotel 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.[83]

The timeline for the completion of the expansion has not been announced.[83] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expansion has been announced that it would be likely delayed.[84]

Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)

The RWS will have two new attractions, Minion Park 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.[83]

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.[83]

RWS's new attractions will open in phases, yearly from 2020, and expected to be fully completed by 2025.[83] 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.[85]

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 percent to 2.3 percent given the increase in non gaming areas.[83]

As a result of these changes, the exclusivity period of the IRs will be extended to end-2030[83], 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.[86]

From March 2022, casino tax rates will also increase from the current 5 percent and 15 percent for premium and mass gaming, respectively, to a two-tier tax rates of 8 percent and 12 percent (premium) and 18 percent and 22 percent (mass) based on the total gross gaming revenue earned. A flat tax rate of 22 percent (mass) and 12 per cent (premium) will be imposed should the IRs' investment commitments fail. The tax rates will remain unchanged for 10 years.[86]

Sentosa-Brani Master Plan

Sentosa and Pulau Brani will be transformed under the Sentosa-Brani Master Plan. First proposed in 2018[87], 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.[88]

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.[88]

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 2022, the Sentosa Sensoryscape will double the current linkway capacity, being as large as 5½ 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.[88]

The current Police Coast Guard headquarters on Pulau Brani will stay put.[88]

Kallang Alive Master Plan

Announced by Sport Singapore (SportSG) on 6 August 2019, the area around Kallang and the Singapore Sports Hub is set to be further enhanced as a destination for sport and world-class entertainment and inject vibrancy into the area while complementing the already-completed Singapore Sports Hub. There will be a total of six developments with the entire project set to be completed by 2025.[89]

Included in the plan is Singapore's first velodrome to cater to the community and serve as the national training centre for track cycling. The velodrome will be part of the Youth Hub which include spaces for non-traditional sports such as speed climbing and parkour.[89]

Built on the former Kallang baseball/softball field, the Kallang Football Hub will house the national training centre and ActiveSG Football Academy. The facility consists of a full-sized natural turf pitch, two full-sized artificial pitches, and a half-sized pitch for five-a-side or seven-a-side football matches. Four sheltered futsal pitches and a perimeter running track will also be part of the facility.[89]

Replacing one of the outdoor carparks near the Kallang Leisure Park, the new tennis facility, Singapore Tennis Centre, will comprise of open and sheltered courts and similarly function as the national training centre and ActiveSG Academy. The new facility will replace the current centre and will be opened to the public.[89]

The Kallang Theatre and its surrounding areas will be redeveloped into an integrated sport, entertainment, and lifestyle centre. Some proposed ideas include office spaces, a multi-purpose e-sports arena, a themed hotel, and an international sports medicine centre.[90]

An iconic circular walking and cycling loop named Alive Gateway and Loop will also be built to trace the original Kallang Airport airfield and link to the waterfront across Stadium Boulevard and Nicoll Highway. This would reintegrate the old Kallang Airport site with the overall precint.[90]

Benaan Kapal Green, an active community park space, will be introduced along the waterfront and includes park connectors, running trails, and play areas for the public.[91]

However, with the development of the master plan, current spaces for sports such as archery, cricket, softball, baseball, netball, and squash will have to be vacated to make way for the development, with most already left the premises.[89]

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.[92]

Like its predecessor, the NS Square will continue to host future National Day Parades, as well as a new addition of a permanent open and enclosed 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, compared to the current capacity of the floating platform of 27,000. It will also comprise of 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, forming a loop around the Marina Bay.[93]

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, which has a seating capacity of 27,000. 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.[94]

The project is scheduled to begin in 2022 and expected to be completed by end-2025.[93]

Singtel Waterfront Theatre
Main article: Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Broken-ground on 18 June 2019, the S$30 million Singtel Waterfront Theatre at the Esplanade is scheduled to be completed and opened in the second half of 2021. The medium-sized waterfront theatre will have a flexible seating capacity of 550 audiences. In addition, the theatre will have a highly modular configuration to meet a variety of needs of local artists and art groups, where it can be transformed from a conventional proscenium theatre to a theatre-in-the-round or a flat-floor performance space with no seats. The outdoor grass lawn, which connects to the theatre's foyer, will allow informal festival activites to be held outdoors.[95]

The waterfront theatre will occupy a 3,000 square metre area along the Esplanade Waterfront, replacing the existing open-air carpark and the Edge, where music festival Baybeats used to be held.[96]

Due to its S$10 million donation for the theatre's construction, Singtel will hold naming rights of the development for 15 years from the theatre's opening in 2021.[95]

Founders' Memorial
Main article: Founders' Memorial

To begin construction in 2022 in a 5-hectare waterfront site at Gardens by the Bay's Bay East Garden, the Founders' Memorial is scheduled to be completed in 2027 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, showcasing the city's progress.[97] 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.[98][99]

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.[99]

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 2023. A 1,200 square-metre "floating" sky gallery with column-free spaces where large works of art can be displayed is part of the expansion plans. A spacious 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 fully pedestrainised lawn for outdoor art. Due to the expansion, a new contemporary sleek 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.[100][101]

In total, the expansion will add 30 percent more exhibition space to the property.[100]

Proposed New Attraction in Jurong Lake District

On 16 April 2019, the Singapore Tourism Board announced a new 7 hectare integrated tourism development in Jurong Lake District, which will be built by 2026. The development will feature a hotel, attractions, eateries and shops and will be located near to the new Science Centre Singapore and the Chinese Garden MRT station.[102]

Military/Security

Tengah Airbase

Paya Lebar Airbase is bound to be retired and freed up for commercial or residential use by 2030. As such, the aircraft will be moved to the newly expanded Tengah Airbase, which has already begun construction.[103] The land surrounding the area has been recently acquired by the government, including cemeteries, graves and agricultural farms in the nearby area. More training areas and a second runway will be built.

National Service (NS) Hub

Officially ground-broken on 25 November 2019, the NS Hub, which occupies a land area of approximately nine hectares,[104] 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.[105]

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.[105]

The NS Hub will also be utilising technology such as facial recognition, automation, and analytics to improve visitor experience.[106]

Other than NSmen, the public will also be able to use the facilities at the NS Hub. Some of the facilities include a food court, a childcare center, and an outdoor community area with a running track and football field. The hub will also house the radio stations of Power 98 Love Songs and 88.3JIA for visitors to catch the DJs live on air. Studios will also be built for the public to enjoy performances.[105]

Set to be completed by 2023, the NS Hub will be directly accessible via an overhead bridge from Cashew MRT Station along Upper Bukit Timah Road.[105]

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 considerably boost clearance capacity and meet growing cross-border traffic needs while ensuring immigration clearance remains secure.[107]

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 required 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.[107]

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.[108] 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.[109]

This new facility will more than double the size of the current headquarters and is expected to be operational by 2023.[108]
