URA releases Dairy Farm, Tanjong Rhu, Dover housing sites for sale

[SINGAPORE] The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) released three residential sites for sale on Wednesday (Nov 26) under the government land sales (GLS) programme for the second half of 2025.

The sites in Dairy Farm Walk, Tanjong Rhu Road and Dover Drive can potentially yield around 480, 525 and 625 residential units, respectively, said URA. They form part of the 4,725 residential units to be released via the confirmed list of the H2 GLS programme to cater to housing demand, the authority added.

The Dairy Farm Walk site has a land area of 29,444.2 square metres (sq m) and a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 41,222 sq m.

It can be developed into condominiums and flats, and is subject to a maximum building height of four storeys for the zone along the common boundary facing the canal and landed housing to the north of the site. The rest of the site is subject to a maximum building height of six storeys.

Located at the junction of Dairy Farm Walk and Dairy Farm Heights, it is accessible via the Bukit Timah Expressway, Upper Bukit Timah Road and Cashew MRT station, and will also be connected to surrounding areas via cycling and pedestrian networks. The tender will close on Jan 22, 2026, at 12 pm.

The Tanjong Rhu Road site has a 12,239.2 sq m land area and a maximum GFA of 45,285 sq m. It can be built into condos or flats, and is subject to a maximum building height range of 95 m Singapore Height Datum (SHD) to 100 m SHD.

It is bounded by Tanjong Rhu Road to the north and the Singapore Swimming Club to the east, in an area with private and public housing developments. It is near the Tanjong Rhu and Katong Park MRT stations, with amenities such as Jalan Batu Hawker Centre and Dunman High School nearby. The tender closes on Feb 5, 2026, at 12 pm.

The Dover Drive site has a 13,517.2 sq m land area and a maximum GFA of 56,773 sq m. With a maximum building height of 160 m SHD, it can be developed only into flats.

Located in the Dover-Medway area – an upcoming urban neighbourhood in the Greater one-north area – the site is near to the one-north MRT station and linked to the Ayer Rajah Expressway. It is designated for residential development, with complementary commercial uses at the first storey to serve the surrounding community.

Proximity to MRT stations a boon

Marcus Chu, chief executive officer of ERA Singapore, said that the Dover Road site is the first GLS parcel to be offered within the Dover-Medway neighbourhood, which positions both the developer and buyers for a strong first-mover advantage.

As the first sites launched in up-and-coming estates typically draw “strong interest” from developers, he thinks interest in the Dover Road site could be “comparable” to recent examples such as Bayshore, Dunearn Road (Turf City) and Newton, which attracted between eight and nine bidders.

Its proximity to the one-north MRT station on the Circle Line will also be a “huge draw” that offers residents connectivity and convenience, Chu said.

The Tanjong Rhu Road site features “attractive” attributes such as its proximity to two MRT stations and Dunman High School, PropNex head of research and content Wong Siew Ying said. She estimates that the plot could garner four to six bids, with the top bid price possibly hovering at around S$1,300 to S$1,400 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).

Wong noted that it has been decades since a residential GLS plot was offered on Tanjong Rhu Road – with the last plot awarded in November 1997 – and that no mid-sized to large new condominium projects have been launched in the area for years.

Justin Quek, deputy group CEO of Realion, believes the Dairy Farm Walk site’s proximity to Bukit Panjang Park and Dairy Farm Nature Park could draw nature lovers. He expects it to receive two to four bidders, with a land rate of S$900 to S$1,000 psf ppr at the top-end.

Meanwhile, PropNex’s Wong believes the Dairy Farm Walk site could get “less enthusiastic bidding” given that it is around a 10 to 12-minute walk to Hillview MRT station with few schools in the vicinity, as developers tend to prefer plots closer to MRT stations and amenities.
