Tengah (IPA: /ˈtəŋɑː/ TUHNG-ah) is a planning area and HDB town located within the West Region of Singapore. It is bound by Choa Chu Kang to the northeast, Jurong East and Jurong West to the south, Bukit Batok to the east, and the Western Water Catchment to its west and north.
Formerly a military restricted area, Tengah is currently reserved for new housing developments since URA Concept Plan 2001, making it Singapore's newest Housing and Development Board town since the development of Punggol in the late-90s. In September 2016, HDB officially unveiled the official plans for the Tengah new town with an official master plan and blueprint for the town.
After the demilitarisation of the military training area at Tengah, the first estate, Plantation Grove, was launched in Tengah in November 2018. Tengah is divided into various districts, namely Plantation, Park, Garden, Market Place, Forest Hill, and Brickland Districts.
Tengah lies east of Jurong Innovation District and north of Jurong Lake District, two new industrial and business developments. These areas are planned as a new decentralized business district.
