Located at 32 ha site, bounded by Mandai Road, Seletar Expressway and Lorong Lada Hitam, it is within the Mandai Agrotechnology Park and has the capacity to stable up to 90 trains.

The depot will however, stable the Thomson-East Coast Line trains, and will include a rail administration building, stabling yard, test track and control room. The administrative building will house the OCC for the Thomson-East Coast Line. A 66kV substation will be built to support the operation of the TEL.

The depot is located between Woodlands South station and Springleaf station on the Thomson-East Coast Line and has 3 reception tracks: 1 track Woodlands North-bound towards Woodlands South station and 2 tracks Sungei Bedok-bound towards Springleaf station.

First announced by the Land Transport Authority on 16 June 2011, construction of the depot would commence at the end of 2012 and is expected to be an at-grade depot. As a result of the construction, the farm, Orchidville that previously occupied the site was acquired. Prior to the acquisition, Orchidville was the largest orchid farm in Singapore.
