This station was first announced on 29 August 2012.[2]

On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Shenton Way 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, and is expected to be completed in 2021.[3][4]
