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 Courtyard - June 2026 Update

Image
In June 2026, Tanglin Halt Courtyard's sole residential block 17A has risen to the 15th floor !  Photo taken on 13 June 2026 from Blk 50 Commonwealth 10. I could not find a good vantage point for an overhead shot of the market/hawker and polyclinic, but works for the market/hawker seems to be at the second level while polyclinic is still at the first. If you're interested to see how it looks like, you may visit @LittleREDdotLamb's Youtube channel here  to see a video of the site on 6 June (a big shoutout to his/her dedication for the monthly update videos!) I might just find a better spot next time. Pr ogress has been good thus far, though, with key collection date before 2029 plausible if progress continues at this rate.

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 possi...
