This station was first announced on 29 August 2012.[3]

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Gardens by the Bay station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 3, consisting of 13 stations between Mount Pleasant and Gardens by the Bay.[4][5] On 9 March 2022, Transport Minister S Iswaran announced in Parliament that Stage 3 (Caldecott to Gardens by the Bay), would open in the 2nd half of 2022.[6][7][8][9]
