Demolition Gets Underway at the Singapore Temple Site

Demolition of the residence at the Singapore Temple site has begun. When the property was originally acquired by the Church, the house was repurposed and used as a ward meetinghouse until the congregation was relocated about a year ago in preparation for the temple construction. Heavy equipment is on site, and covered scaffolding has been erected. No date has been announced yet for the groundbreaking ceremony.

General Contractor Selected for the Singapore Temple

Preparations continue for construction of the Singapore Temple. Takenaka Corporation has been selected as the general contractor, which is the same company that constructed the Sapporo Japan Temple and renovated the Tokyo Japan Temple. Takenaka has also carried out significant projects at National Gallery Singapore and Singapore's Changi Airport. The existing building at the temple site was used as a meetinghouse for the Jurong Ward until late last year when the ward was relocated to the stake center. The property has now been turned over to Special Projects, but no groundbreaking date has been announced yet.
