History

Founders' Memorial station was originally known as "Marina East" or "Gardens Bay East" in the conceptual plans since 2008. It was originally a reserved station and the facility building. In January 2019, the station was announced as "Founders' Memorial" and will open in 2027, in tandem with the Founders' Memorial.[3]

Contract T302 for the conversion of the existing TEL facility building at Bay East Garden into a station was awarded to China Railway First Group Co., Ltd at a sum of S$242.4 million in June 2016. Construction commenced in 2019, with completion slated for 2027.[4]
