Hey there!

Welcome to Our Tanglin Halt, a space created by a future resident who is deeply passionate about the stories, developments, and transformations unfolding in this beloved neighbourhood.

Tanglin Halt has always been more than just an estate. It is a community with history, character, and soul. As the area undergoes redevelopment, many of us are eager to understand what is changing and what new possibilities lie ahead. 

This blog aims to document that journey.

A little more about me: I have a keen interest in urban planning and design in Singapore, and have been closely following the transformation of Tanglin Halt and other estates, for many years now. I enjoy exploring how our neighbourhoods evolve, the planning decisions behind them, and what these changes mean for the communities that call them home.

Just a disclaimer, information shared here is gathered by me from publicly available sources, announcements, discussions, and my own on‑ground observations. Wherever possible, I will try to document these sources. Alongside these factual updates, I will also share my personal opinions, observations and hypotheses, as I am genuinely excited to see how our neighbourhood evolves.

I hope this blog serves as a useful resource for anyone interested in following Tanglin Halt's transformation!✌🏻

Tanglin Halt Cascadia - June 2026 Update

Image
Here is my first update for Courtyard's bigger brother - Tanglin Halt Cascadia!  Progress has been varied since commencement in early 2024, but we are near the halfway mark with 456 out of 973 units (47%) completed as of 27 June 2026. The 'Cascadia' is starting to take shape! Taken on 27 June 2026 from Blk 53 of Commonwealth 10. Block 74A: 15 of 47 Floors Perhaps due to the greater complexity of building the sky terrace, works on level 15 has been going on since the start of the month. With 74B/75B nearing completion, would we see the progress for 74A/75A quicken? Only time would tell. Block 74B: 25 of 25 Floors The end is near! Not much needed to be said. 75A: 14 of 47 Floors Barely caught up to 74A's progress, but works for the sky terrace at the 15th floor is commencing. 75B: 21-23 of 25 Floors I've observed stacks 559/561 consistently trailing 563/565 by up to 5 floors since early this year, but at least they are caught up now and are expected to complete in 2 ...

Tanglin Halt Cascadia and Courtyard - July 2026 Update

Tanglin Halt Cascadia (right) and Courtyard (left), viewed from SkyResidence @ Dawson. Photo taken on 1 August 2026. Tanglin Halt Cascadia Progress has been slower this month, largely due to ongoing works on the sky terraces for Blocks 74A and 75A, which are more complex than typical floor construction. Block 74A: 16-17 of 47 Floors  With the first sky terrace now completed, Block 74A continues to advance steadily at roughly two weeks per floor.  Works are currently underway at the 17th floor for stacks 501 to 507, while stacks 509 to 515 are progressing at the 16th floor. Block 75A: 15-16 of 47 Floors Construction for Stacks 543 to 549 has progressed to the 16th floor, while the remaining stacks are still completing the sky terrace level at the 15th floor. The sky terrace involves substantially more cast‑in‑situ (on-site) works and specialized formwork which naturally lengthen the construction time compared to a typical floor. If you look closely, you can already start to vis...

Tanglin Halt's Redevelopment Journey - Part 2

Image
Tanglin Halt's Redevelopment Journey - What's Next? The Singapore government and its agencies are known for their strong forward planning, taking a forward-looking and coordinated approach to development.  This is clearly reflected in the timeline shared in Part 1 , where the redevelopment of the estate has been unfolding over the past 20 years - l ike clockwork .  Since 2004, different parts of the estate have been progressively redeveloped and residents relocated in phases. This systematic approach ensures a smooth transition while minimizing disruption to the surrounding community. With this in mind, we can make a reasonable prediction of what lies ahead for the estate. Current and Upcoming Developments As of today, the following developments within the estate have been completed or are in progress: 1. Commonwealth View (QT N4 RC26) – Completed, SERS replacement flats 2. Commonwealth 10 (QT N4 RC30) – Completed, SERS replacement flats 3. Tanglin Halt Cascadia (QT N4 ...
