Greater Southern Waterfront development in Singapore.
Southern Waterfront Gateway is a future waterfront development project sited within the planning area of Bukit Merah, Singapore. At present, the area is occupied by the Tanjong Pagar and Brani terminals of the Port of Singapore, which will be moved to the Tuas Megaport by 2027.
In 2013, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, announced that container port activities will be relocated from Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, Pulau Brani and Pasir Panjang to a consolidated port in Tuas.[1] The relocation will release about 1,000 hectares of land and will be used for the development of the Greater Southern Waterfront.[2]
Timeline
- Since 2021, the former Keppel Golf Course site is being redeveloped into a residential neighborhood with 9,000 HDB and private housing units, featuring waterfront promenades, greenery, and open spaces. Two old powerstations in Pasir Panjang will be repurposed as recreational and nightlife hubs.[3]
- After the relocation of Tanjong Pagar, Keppel and Brani terminals to Tuas by 2027 Pulau Brani can be developed in line with Sentosa. New attractions similar to Universal Studios Sentosa are planned here. Plans are underway to rejuvenate Sentosa's beaches and enhance its nature and heritage trails.[3]
- Once Pasir Panjang Port relocates in 2040 mixed-use developments will be built at this location.[3]
