Contract 926 for the design and construction of Tampines West MRT Station and associated tunnels was awarded to Cooperativa Muratori & Cementisti - C.M.C di Ravenna at an estimated sum of S$226.92 million in July 2011. On 29 January 2012, the signage of Tampines Palmspring was demolished. Construction of the station started in February that year, with the noise barriers placed. Road realignment has begun that June and lasted till January 2016.[4][5]

The station opened on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May that year.[6]
