1h2026 Gls Programme Offers Nine Confirmed List Sites Including Two Ec Plots And Mixed Use Site
Overview of the 1H2026 Government Land Sales Programme
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has recently unveiled the land sites that will be part of the Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme for the first half of 2026. This announcement lists nine sites on the Confirmed List and twelve sites on the Reserve List. The Confirmed List predominantly features private residential sites, including two designated for executive condominiums (ECs) and one mixed-use site that combines commercial and residential spaces.
Confirmed List Sites and Their Potential Yield
The nine sites on the Confirmed List are set to yield approximately 4,575 private housing units. This number includes 635 units designated as ECs, alongside around 242,188 square feet of commercial floor space. These figures show a decrease of 3.2% in the number of housing units compared to the second half of 2025, and about 9% less than the first half of the same year.
Details on the Reserve List
On the Reserve List, the URA has included a variety of sites consisting of six private residential, one commercial, three White sites, and two designated for hotel development. These sites could collectively accommodate an additional 4,610 private homes, over 2 million square feet of commercial space, and 970 hotel rooms. According to Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore, this is the largest Reserve List supply since the latter half of 2021.
For those interested in the development of new condominium projects in Singapore, the Singapore Condo website offers insights and updates similar to the GLS Programme, providing valuable information for potential investors and homebuyers.
Key Sites in the GLS Programme
The mixed-use site at Bayshore Drive, notably the largest in this GLS Programme, stands out due to its significant housing and commercial potential. It is projected to provide around 1,280 housing units and 242,188 square feet of commercial space. This site benefits from its location above the under-construction Bedok South MRT Station, enhancing its attractiveness due to improved connectivity and accessibility.
Other noteworthy residential sites include the plots at Peck Hay Road, Holland Plain, and River Valley Green, each offering unique advantages due to their strategic locations and the potential for high demand. The Peck Hay Road site, for example, is expected to draw significant interest due to its proximity to the Newton MRT Interchange and its placement within the Core Central Region.
Emerging Opportunities and Market Predictions
The Reserve List also introduces promising developments, such as the white site at Town Hall Link, which has been segmented from the larger Jurong Lake District Master Developer site. This move is aimed at facilitating more manageable development projects that could attract a wider array of developers.
In summary, the 1H2026 GLS Programme promises to significantly impact Singapore’s residential and commercial landscape, offering a range of opportunities for developers and contributing to the nation’s urban development and growth.
