Temasek-owned infrastructure consultancy firm Surbana Jurong has secured a 15,000-unit affordable housing project in India, according to a press release.

Awarded by the Gujarat Housing Board through a fee-based tender, Surbana Jurong will provide master planning, concept design, design review and project management services for about 15,000 homes across 12 sites in the next four years.

According to Surbana Jurong Group CEO Wong Heang Fine, it will open its Gujarat office around early December 2019 to oversee the housing project.

These sites are located in densely-populated cities in Gujarat, namely Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot.

The township design will feature roof gardens, activity courtyards, playgrounds and outdoor fitness stations, located within safe and vehicular-free community spaces. It will also include some of Singapore’s distinctive public housing features like void decks, as well as other modern lifestyle amenities like sky gardens, outdoor dining areas, meditation decks and play lawns.
