Overall Government Land Sales (GLS) private housing supply increased in First Half 2025 (1H2025)
• The overall private housing supply from the GLS programme will be raised to about 8,505 units in 1H2025, from about 8,140 units in 2H2024.
• These comprise about 5,030 private housing units, including 980 Executive Condominium (EC) units, to be tendered out via the Confirmed List in 1H2025. This is broadly similar to the 5,050 units in 2H2024, and close to 60% higher than the average Confirmed List supply in each GLS programme from 2021 to 2023. An additional 3,475 units will be made available via the Reserve List, higher than the 3,090 units in 2H2024.
• The good spread of sites across the island will provide a variety of housing options that cater to different needs and preferences.
Published: 06 December 2024
1 The Government has announced the GLS Programme for 1H2025. Comprising ten Confirmed List sites and nine Reserve List sites, the 1H2025 GLS Programme can yield about 8,505 private residential units, 242,900 sqm gross floor area (GFA) of commercial space and 530 hotel rooms (see Appendix 1 [PDF, 175kb] and Appendix 2 [PDF, 34kb]).
2 The Confirmed List, which comprises nine private residential sites (including three EC sites) and one commercial & residential site, can collectively yield about 5,030 private residential units (including 980 EC units) and 43,000 sqm GFA of commercial space.
3 The Reserve List includes four private residential sites, one commercial site, three White sites and one hotel site, which can potentially yield an additional 3,475 private residential units, 199,900 sqm GFA of commercial space and 530 hotel rooms.
Sustained supply of private housing
4 Following the progressive ramp-up of private housing supply in the GLS programmes over the last three years1, the inventory of private residential units available for sale has increased steadily from 16,100 units in end-2021 to around 21,000 units as of end-Nov 2024. The ramp-up of supply from the GLS programmes has contributed to the stabilisation of the private residential market, as reflected by the moderation in property price momentum2. To ensure that there is adequate supply to meet housing demand and maintain market stability, the Government has sustained the supply of private residential units on the Confirmed List of the 1H2025 GLS Programme at above 5,000 units. These include 980 EC units that will help cater to EC demand and bolster the inventory of EC units available for sale3. The supply on the Reserve List will be increased to 3,475 units to allow developers to initiate for development if they assess that there is demand.
5 The Confirmed List supply for 1H2025 will bring about a total supply of about 57,200 private housing (including EC) units4 in the pipeline, which can meet the housing needs of the population over the next few years. The Government will continue to calibrate the supply of private housing via the half-yearly GLS programme, taking into account prevailing economic and property market conditions. The supply will consist of a good spread of sites across geographical locations for the development of conventional private residential units and Long-stay Serviced Apartments, to cater to owner-occupation and rental housing demand.
Sale of first private housing site in two new precincts at the former Keppel Golf Course and Bukit Timah Turf City
6 The Government had earlier unveiled plans for two new housing precincts at Bukit Timah Turf City and the former Keppel Golf Course to provide more housing options to meet Singaporeans’ diverse aspirations and lifestyle needs.
7 The 48-hectare former Keppel Golf Course site will yield about 9,000 new homes, including approximately 6,000 public housing units. Located near to the city centre, this new housing precinct will bring homes closer to jobs and kickstart the transformation of the Greater Southern Waterfront into a new major mixed-use gateway where Singaporeans can enjoy living, working and playing along the southern coast. The first private housing site at Telok Blangah Road will be launched for sale in 1H2025.
8 Bukit Timah Turf City will be transformed into a new liveable and endearing housing estate with approximately 15,000 to 20,000 public and private homes over a period of 20 to 30 years. Served by the existing Sixth Avenue Downtown Line station and an upcoming Cross Island Line station, Bukit Timah Turf City is envisioned to be a people-centric, pedestrian-friendly and car-lite estate. Heritage buildings and nature areas will also be sensitively integrated with the future developments to provide a unique character to the new precinct. The sale of the first private residential site along Dunearn Road in 1H2025 will kickstart the longer-term rejuvenation of Bukit Timah Turf City and its surrounding area.
Supply of office space
9 The White sites for mixed-use developments at Jurong Lake District and Woodlands Avenue 2 as well as the short-term lease commercial site at Punggol Walk will be carried over from the 2H2024 Reserve List to the 1H2025 Reserve List. These three sites will provide the opportunity for developers to initiate the development of more office and retail space if they assess that there is demand.
Supply of hotel rooms
10 The 1H2025 Reserve List includes a site at River Valley Road carried over from the 2H2024 Reserve List, which will allow developers to increase the supply of hotel rooms based on demand.
11 The Government will continue to closely monitor economic and property market conditions and adjust the GLS Programme as necessary to meet Singapore’s housing, commercial and hospitality needs.
