The Turf City Story
From Racecourse to Residential Renaissance
For nearly a century, Bukit Timah's Turf City carried the thunder of hooves and the glamour of Singapore's racing elite. Today it stands at the threshold of a long-term masterplan that will reshape one of the island's most storied addresses with new parks, civic spaces, and residential precincts.
Dunearn House is the first private residential GLS site in the Turf City transformation — a position that matters for early buyers watching how the estate takes shape.
2000s – Today
Turf City Lifestyle Enclave
After relocating to Kranji, the site became a casual hub of dining, retail, sports and recreation within its heritage grounds.
2026 & Beyond
The Transformation Begins
The Turf City precinct is being masterplanned with generous greenery and improved connectivity, including a future Turf City MRT station on the Cross Island Line (target around 2032). Dunearn House leads the first private residential chapter.
URA Masterplan
Bukit Timah Turf City — What's Planned
Dunearn House is the first private residential development in the new Bukit Timah Turf City precinct. The wider URA masterplan points to a car-lite, green district with conserved heritage, new parks, and stronger rail links — details below are indicative and subject to final government plans.
01
22 Heritage Buildings
Former Turf Club stables and quarters to be revitalised into community spaces, preserving the estate's architectural character.
02
Car-Lite District
Pedestrian- and cycling-friendly streets designed around public transport rather than private car dependency.
03
10-Minute Neighbourhood
Daily errands and lifestyle amenities within roughly a 5-minute cycle or 10-minute walk.
04
Road Enhancements
Indicative upgrades along Eng Neo Avenue, Dunearn Road, and Bukit Timah Road to improve traffic flow while retaining green buffers.
05
Green Network
Parks, conservation areas, and links toward the Bukit Timah-Rochor green corridor and surrounding nature areas.
06
Future Turf City MRT
Cross Island Line station planned within the precinct (target around 2032), complementing Sixth Avenue on the Downtown Line today.
07
Civic & Recreation Spaces
A new central open space and sports/recreation nodes envisaged as part of the wider Turf City transformation.
08
Mixed Future Housing
The masterplan envisages a blend of new private and public homes across the rejuvenated grounds over the long term.
Why Being First Matters
Future residential sites in Turf City will be measured against this launch. Early buyers get in before later supply arrives — with URA tender conditions calling for substantial greenery and pedestrian links within the wider precinct. Indicative masterplan scale and timing remain subject to government plans.
The Opportunity
Own the Opening Chapter
This is a complete address, where legacy, nature, and community converge. Rising as the tallest residential development between Yarwood Avenue and Stevens Road, Dunearn House commands largely unblocked vistas across the Bukit Timah plains — elevated above Good Class Bungalow enclaves yet minutes from Orchard Road.
Five blocks — two at 19 storeys and three at 10 storeys — form a mid-rise collection of 380 homes. Layouts by Ong & Ong with landscapes by EcoPlan Asia focus on squarish, efficient family plans.

Tony’s Take
“First mover in Turf City's masterplan — District 11 pedigree, about 4 minutes' walk to Sixth Avenue MRT, and the first non-landed launch in the Swiss Club subzone in 33 years. Strong for family upgraders who value schools and long-term estate upside; compare carefully on price when PSF is released.”
