A Fresh Wave of GLS Sites Signals New Growth Across Singapore
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has officially released three new Government Land Sales (GLS) sites under the 2H2025 programme—located at Tanjong Rhu Road, Dairy Farm Walk, and Dover Drive. Together, these parcels could bring 1,630 new homes into the market across some of Singapore’s most strategically positioned neighbourhoods.
As a realtor, these sites tell a deeper story:
renewed supply where demand is real, pent-up, and long overdue.
Below is your simplified, investor-friendly breakdown.
📍 1. Tanjong Rhu Road — First Site in Nearly 30 Years
A highly anticipated release, this is the first site in the Tanjong Rhu area since 1997.
Why This Site Matters
The location is simply rare — waterfront, near MRTs, next to Sports Hub, and surrounded by ageing condos ready for upgraders.
Infographic — Key Highlights (Tanjong Rhu Road)
- 🌊 131,743 sq ft land, up to 525 units
- 🚇 Near Tanjong Rhu & Katong Park MRT (TEL)
- 🏫 Close to Dunman High & Chung Cheng High
- 🏟️ Near Sports Hub, future Kallang Alive transformation
- 🏘️ Surrounded by older 12+ year developments, strong right-sizing demand
- 📈 Expected bids: 2–7 bidders, approx. $1,300–$1,400 psf ppr
- ⏳ Tender closes 5 Feb, 12pm
Commentary
This is a pent-up demand gem. With no major launches for decades, many existing owners with large floorplates are ready to right-size into efficient new homes. Expect strong interest from both upgraders and investors looking for waterfront convenience.
📍 2. Dairy Farm Walk — Exclusive Low-Density Living on a Large Plot
This is the fourth site launched in the Dairy Farm area in recent years, but this plot stands out due to its low plot ratio and expansive land size.
Infographic — Key Highlights (Dairy Farm Walk)
- 🌿 316,937 sq ft land, up to 480 units
- 🏞️ Low-density GPR 1.4 (rare exclusivity)
- 🚇 Near Hillview MRT
- 🛍️ Amenities: Dairy Farm Mall, HillV2, Hillion Mall
- 🎓 Within 1km of Bukit Panjang Primary & CHIJ OLQP
- 🏘️ Strong upgrader demand from Bukit Panjang / Choa Chu Kang
- 📉 Expected 2–4 bidders, approx. $1,000–$1,100 psf ppr
- ⏳ Tender closes 22 Jan, 12pm
Commentary
The low plot ratio gives developers space to design a more serene, greenery-focused project — something increasingly sought after by nature-loving families. With Narra Residences launching soon, the district is gaining traction and recognition again.
📍 3. Dover Drive — First Land Release in New Dover-Medway Precinct
A major highlight: This is the first GLS site in the brand-new Dover-Medway neighbourhood, set within the Greater one-north zone.
Infographic — Key Highlights (Dover Drive)
- 🏙️ 145,505 sq ft land, up to 625 units
- 🏪 Includes 32,292 sq ft commercial space (unique mixed-use advantage)
- 🚇 10 mins to one-north MRT
- 🧪 Strong rental market from one-north’s 50,000-workforce
- 🛍️ Amenities: Star Vista, Holland Village, Buona Vista Interchange
- 🏘️ First site since the 1990s in the Dover area
- 📈 Expected 3–7 bidders, approx. $1,300–$1,400 psf ppr
- ⏳ Tender closes 26 Mar, 12pm
Commentary
With several one-north launches almost fully sold (Blossoms by the Park, The Hill, Bloomsbury Residences), this GLS site is well-timed to meet demand. Expect strong appeal from young families wanting to stay near Queenstown and from investors targeting the one-north tech corridor.
