Tengah is Singapore's first HDB town master-planned from scratch as a smart, sustainable "Forest Town" (plans unveiled 2016, construction from 2017). Early residents, who began collecting keys in 2023, live with SP Group's centralised (district) cooling — the first large-scale residential deployment in Singapore's public housing — plus an automated pneumatic waste-conveyance system, EV charging and a smart-energy app; the cooling network overcame early workmanship complaints by 2024-25. By late 2025 more than 12,000 households had moved in of roughly 30,000 flats launched. The signature car-lite town centre, with vehicle roads running underneath, remains under construction.
