Raffles Town Club to be redeveloped for Prime Land Housing : The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Urban Redevelopment Authority announced on Monday (Nov 20) that the prime real estate currently housing Raffles Town Club will be repurposed for residential developments once the lease concludes on Oct 17, 2026. The press release can be read here.
The property, situated at 1 Plymouth Avenue, is conveniently located near Stevens MRT interchange, Tanglin Community Club and esteemed educational institutions like Singapore Chinese Girls School and St Joseph’s Institution.
Raffles Town Club to be redeveloped to meet Singapore Strategic Focus
This decision aligns with Singapore’s strategic focus on maximizing the redevelopment of brownfield sites to accommodate future land requirements including housing needs. The authorities mentioned in a joint statement that this transformation will not only cater to future housing demands but also enrich the residential ambiance of the area.
Future dwellers will enjoy enhanced transport facilities and seamless connectivity across the city and island-wide. Raffles Town Club (RTC) is permitted to continue its services until the end of its lease term post which it is obliged to relinquish the land back to the state. SLA has assured its full cooperation with RTC during this transition phase.
With the location of the site within 1km of Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and ACS Barker Road, you can imagine the value of the site (just like Watten House which is 1km from Nanyang Primary and Raffles Girl Primary).
