Singapore District 24: Lim Chu Kang, Tengah — Condo Area Profile

Area Profile Last reviewed

District 24 — spanning Tengah, Lim Chu Kang and Choa Chu Kang North — is Singapore's most ambitious new OCR frontier. With HDB's car-lite forest town half-built, two sold-out ECs already priced above $1,650 psf, the first private condo (Tengah Garden Residences) launching at $2,120 psf in April 2026, and the Jurong Region Line opening from 2028, early-mover buyers are betting on a decade-long infrastructure dividend.

For decades, District 24 existed on Singapore's mental map as a blank — the island's far northwest fringe. That vacancy is now its greatest asset. Tengah, the 700-hectare planned town rising between Choa Chu Kang and Jurong, is Singapore's first entirely car-free town centre. HDB's master plan targets 42,000 flats across five themed districts, with more than 14,000 units completed by end-2025, per HDB.

Immediately to the north, Lim Chu Kang is being redeveloped into a high-tech agri-food cluster targeting Singapore's '30 by 30' food-security goal. ShiokNest's URA data tracks four condominiums with a median of $1,728 psf across 2,589 transactions.

The Jurong Region Line (JRL), confirmed by LTA, will open in stages from mid-2028. Stations serving District 24 include Hong Kah, Tengah Park and Tengah Plantation.

On the EC front, Novo Place EC launched November 2024 at $1,654 psf average; Otto Place EC launched July 2025 at $1,700 psf. The private condo market crystallised on 25–26 April 2026 when Tengah Garden Residences (863 units, 99-year leasehold by Hong Leong, GuocoLand and CSC Land Group) sold 99% of units at an average of $2,120 psf.

Plantation Close EC (pipeline)Executive Condo (99yr)Est. $1,450–$1,550 psf

The $420 psf gap between EC and private condo pricing reflects EC eligibility ceilings ($16,000/mo) and the mandatory 5-year MOP.

  1. Check EC eligibility before viewing Plantation Close pipeline EC. The household income ceiling of $16,000/month and 5-year MOP make ECs unsuitable for investors needing liquidity.
  2. Track the Jurong Region Line opening date closely. LTA revised Stage 1 from end-2027 to mid-2028.
  3. Run a District 24 vs District 22 PSF comparison. Tengah Garden Residences launched at a premium to Jurong West private condos.
  4. Model rental income conservatively for pre-TOP units. Most units will TOP 2027–2029.
  5. Understand Lim Chu Kang's residential exclusion. Lim Chu Kang proper has no near-term private residential pipeline.
  6. Budget for a longer hold if buying at current PSF.
