First announced in August 2012 as part of the Thomson line (TSL), the station was constructed as part of TEL Phase 2 (TEL 2) after plans for the TSL and the Eastern Region line (ERL) were merged. The station was built close to the shophouses along Upper Thomson Road. An earth retaining stabilising structure was installed to minimise ground movement. Along with the TEL 2 stations, Springleaf station opened on 28 August 2021 and features an Art-in-Transit artwork Tree of Memories by Koh Hong Teng.
