From 2 November to 2032: A Shop Row Timeline

Published 15 October 2026 · Information as at October 2026

Dates give the clearest view of the Binjai Park shop offer. EdgeProp reported on 13 October 2026, and Stacked Homes on 14 October 2026, that a strata-titled commercial unit in the Binjai Park shophouse row in Bukit Timah is offered for sale by expression of interest. The milestones around it, from an earlier trade on the same stretch to a rail interchange due in 2032, set out the sequence of planned changes in the area.

The starting point is November 2024, when a smaller unit of about 1,334 sq ft on the same stretch changed hands. That is the comparable trade the two outlets cited, and the interval between it and the 2026 offer reflects how seldom units in the row appear. According to the marketing agent quoted by both outlets, about 16 shop units make up the row, and commercial ownership in the estate stays tightly held.

The 2026 calendar came next. Stacked Homes reported that shophouse buying slowed during 2026, which market watchers attribute to a tough macroeconomic environment that has made investors and family offices more cautious. Rents told a steadier story: the outlet found shophouse rents broadly unchanged in 3Q2026 against a year earlier, while food and beverage openings grew as tourism rose. A data analyst quoted by both outlets expects shophouse valuations to stay well supported over the long term because supply is limited, and EdgeProp adds favourable interest rates as a further factor.

The nearest fixed date is 3 pm on 2 November 2026, when the expression of interest closes, according to EdgeProp; Stacked Homes also gives 2 November 2026. The unit, with a strata area of about 1,388 sq ft and a 999-year leasehold, is offered with its existing tenancy, which Stacked Homes identifies as a tuition centre on the ground floor. The marketing agent expects interest from investors, family offices and owner-occupiers such as boutique operators and wellness or education businesses, and notes that most other commercial units nearby run on shorter leases.

Further out, the timeline turns to transport and housing supply. The row sits within walking distance of King Albert Park station on the Downtown Line, and Stacked Homes notes that the station becomes an interchange when Cross Island Line Phase 2 opens in 2032. The same outlet places the row among two-storey semi-detached homes between three Good Class Bungalow areas, Kilburn Estate, Binjai Park and Swiss Club Road, and reports that Bukit Timah Turf City is planned for up to 20,000 new public and private homes.

Turf City is also where Dunearn House stands, at 760-770 Dunearn Road in the Swiss Club subzone of District 11, about four minutes' walk from Sixth Avenue MRT (DT7). URA awarded the site on 3 July 2025, the 99-year lease began on 30 September 2025, and the developers reported 212 of 380 homes taken up over the launch weekend, per a Frasers Property release of 26 July 2026. Vacant possession is expected by 31 December 2030 and legal completion by 31 December 2033. The developer is Phoenix Dunearn Pte. Ltd., a joint venture of Frasers Property, CSC Land Group and Sekisui House, and the location page maps the neighbourhood.

Showflat viewings are arranged by appointment through the Sales Concierge.
