Jurong Region Line Stations Boost Singapore Property Prices

The Land Transport Authority confirmed on 7 July 2026 that two additional Jurong Region Line stations will open at Plantation Close and Tengah Boulevard by 2029, sending immediate ripples through nearby resale listings.

The move arrives as the Housing and Development Board races to complete 25,000 new flats across Tengah by 2030, drawing families priced out of Districts 9 to 11 who now see the new rail stops as a direct route into the city.

Price shifts in specific precincts

Within 48 hours of the announcement, three executive condominium projects within 400 metres of the planned Plantation Close station raised their guide prices. Parc Greenwich in Tengah posted units from SGD 1.92 million, while The Poiz Residences in nearby Jurong West adjusted its remaining stack to SGD 1.78 million. Both figures sit above the current island-wide EC median of SGD 1.8 million reported by the Urban Redevelopment Authority for the second quarter.

HDB resale flats in Hong Kah also recorded fresh transactions at SGD 685,000 for a five-room unit on 3 July, the highest price per square foot seen in that neighbourhood since March. Agents handling listings along Jurong West Street 41 and Tengah Drive note that upgraders from mature estates in Bukit Batok are the dominant buyer group, citing the eight-minute ride the new line will offer to Jurong East interchange.

Evidence from transaction records

URA flash data released on 8 July showed 47 EC transactions in District 24 during June, a 31 percent jump from the same month in 2025. Average price per square foot rose to SGD 1,285, compared with SGD 1,142 twelve months earlier. The same dataset recorded 112 HDB resales in Jurong West, with the median price climbing SGD 38,000 year on year.

These numbers align with the pattern seen after earlier Jurong Region Line announcements in 2023, when values along the initial phase rose between 9 and 14 percent within six months. Tengah’s first residents moved into The Garden Residences in January 2025, providing the first on-ground test of demand once the stations become operational.

Prospective buyers should check the next URA release due in October and review the latest HDB sales register for units within 500 metres of the two confirmed station sites before committing.
