100-hectare Central Park — One of Singapore's largest parks
Forest corridors — Connecting different parts of the town
Smart infrastructure — Centralised cooling, smart grid, automated waste
Sustainable design — Solar panels, rainwater harvesting, EV-ready

Tengah Garden Residences sits at the heart of this vision, offering residents a front-row seat to Singapore's most ambitious urban experiment.
