Government launches 11.1 ha of industrial land for H1 2026 amid rising rents

[SINGAPORE] The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) is launching around 11.1 hectares (ha) of industrial land across eight sites for sale for the first-half of 2026 through its industrial government land sales (IGLS) programme.

This marks a decrease in the supply of industrial land from H1 2025, when 14.07 ha across 10 sites was launched.

MTI said on Monday (Dec 29) that the government will “continue to release sufficient land through the IGLS programme” to ensure adequate industrial space supply in Singapore.

Six of the sites are on the confirmed list, with a total area of around 8.58 ha. This is lower than the total area of 9.71 ha for the seven sites in H1 2025’s confirmed list.

The two sites on the reserve list for H1 2026 have a total area of 2.52 ha, also lower than the total area of 4.36 ha for the three reserved sites in H1 2025. 

The year-on-year (yoy) decline in industrial space supply for H1 2026 comes amid rising industrial rents; the rental index rose 2.3 per cent yoy in the third quarter of 2025, going by JTC Corporation data released in October.

Compared to the previous half-year period, the supply of industrial land for H1 2026 has increased.

Under the IGLS programme for H2 2025, MTI launched six sites with a total area of 7.43 ha. On the confirmed list were five sites totalling 5.25 ha; the remaining site on the reserve list had an area of 2.18 ha.

Notably, the single reserve list site for H2 2025, at Tuas Road, will be transferred to the H1 2026 reserve list.

Sites on the reserve list can be activated for tender subject to a minimum price that is acceptable to the government.

JTC will be the sales agent for all the sites, MTI said.
