Land for 4,745 private homes supplied in H2 2026 GLS confirmed list, including Jurong Lake District white site

[SINGAPORE] The Ministry of National Development (MND) will release land on the confirmed list for about 4,745 private housing units in the second half of the year. This is 3.7 per cent higher than the 4,575 units’ land supply in the first half. Both figures include executive condominium (EC) units.

The government will also push on with plans to develop a large business precinct in Jurong Lake District, and will release next month a white site for sale that previously sat on its reserve list. A large EC project nearby is planned as well, with a Jurong East site for 735 units scheduled in the H2 2026 programme.

The Town Hall Link white site has been moved on to the confirmed list from the H1 reserve list, meaning it will be launched for sale according to schedule, regardless of demand. Reserve list sites are triggered for sale with an indication of interest at a minimum acceptable bid price.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Jun 3) morning, Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat said that the state is “pressing ahead with plans to develop the Jurong Lake District (JLD) into Singapore’s largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre, as part of our decentralisation efforts”.

The Town Hall Link white site can yield about 186,000 square metres (sq m) of gross floor area (GFA), comprising a minimum of 40,000 sq m of office space, up to 1,200 private residential units and 44,000 sq m for complementary uses (such as retail, hotel, serviced apartments and community uses).

The MND’s H2 government land sales (GLS) programme also includes more supply of EC units, coming after the authorities tightened restrictions on the EC housing scheme in a bid to cool heated demand in the public-private hybrid segment.

Land for some 735 EC units – in one project in Jurong East Avenue 1 – will be released under the H2 schedule, compared with 635 EC units in the H1 2026 GLS programme.

ECs are a public-private housing hybrid, with initial buyer eligibility and resale restrictions that will be completely lifted 15 years after an EC project has been completed, among other conditions.

MND is reducing slightly the supply on the reserve list, where sites are launched for sale only upon successful application by a developer, or when there is sufficient market interest.

MND to release land on confirmed list for 4,725 private housing units in H2 2025, down 6% from 5,030 units in H1 

In H2, it will offer land that can potentially generate about 4,455 private homes (with no EC supply). This is lower than the supply of H1’s reserve list, where the government offered land that can yield about 4,610 private homes (none of which is an EC unit).

The full-year GLS confirmed list supply for 2026 will be 9,320 units, which is more than 50 per cent higher than the annual average confirmed list supply over the past 10 years, MND said.

In his social media post, Chee added: “JLD has been steadily evolving into a vibrant hub with offices, residences, retail and healthcare amenities, complemented by iconic landmarks such as the Jurong Lake Gardens and Science Centre. Together, they strengthen JLD’s attractiveness as a distinct business district with recreational and educational offerings.”

The proposed integrated mixed-use development, next to the existing Jurong Town Hall monument and a future park, will connect to four MRT lines and the surrounding developments via an extensive network of multi-level pedestrian linkages, dedicated cycling paths and bus-only corridors.

Seven of the nine sites on the confirmed list are new. These include a plot at the Orchard Boulevard and Tomlinson Road corner locale that can yield about 110 private homes. Other new sites are in Holland Plain, Berlayar Close, Tanjong Rhu Close, East Coast Road, De Souza Avenue (at the junction with Jalan Jurong Kechil), in addition to the Jurong East EC plot.

In the reserve list, three of the 13 sites are new.

One is the current Raffles Town Club site at the junction of Dunearn Road and Plymouth Avenue. The existing 30-year land lease for the site ends in October this year. The plot is attractively located opposite Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (Primary). The other two new sites are in Serangoon North View (near the Kensington Park area) and Chuan Grove.

Overall, the nine confirmed list sites and 13 reserve list sites for the H2 2026 programme are expected to yield 9,200 private residential units (including EC units), 188,100 sq m GFA of commercial space and 970 hotel rooms, said the ministry.

This compares with the 9,185 private housing units (including EC units), 209,150 sq m GFA of commercial space and 970 hotel rooms that can be generated on the confirmed and reserve lists for H1.

MND said that to “cater to the resilient demand for private housing and keep the property market stable and sustainable”, the government will sustain a high level of supply of private residential units under the confirmed list in H2 2026.

The ministry noted that with the supply injection from the confirmed list in H2 2026, the total pipeline supply of private housing (including EC units) will be increased from the current 57,000 units to around 61,000 units. These include an inventory of around 32,000 available for sale in the next two years or so.

“The supply will come from a good spread of sites, supporting the development of both conventional private residential units and long-stay serviced apartments, to meet demand from both owner-occupiers and the rental housing market,” it added.
