Singapore’s northern housing landscape is set for another transformation. The Government Land Sales (GLS) site at Chencharu Close, located within the upcoming 70-hectare Chencharu estate in Yishun, is garnering attention — and now, developers have even more time to throw their hats in the ring. The tender deadline has officially been extended to September 11, according to an HDB circular dated May 9.
📍 Site Highlights
The 99-year leasehold plot is the first private housing site launched in Chencharu, marking a significant milestone in Yishun’s rejuvenation. The development aims to be a vibrant mixed-use hub that will enhance the livability and accessibility of the estate.

💬 Commentary: A Strategic Play for the North Region
The Chencharu Close GLS site represents a key step in the decentralisation of amenities and residential hubs from the central core to the heartlands. With integrated transport (via MRT and a future bus interchange), dining (hawker centre), and leisure (nearby parks and sports facilities), this mixed-use project is well-positioned to create a new lifestyle node in the North.
As more HDB flats and private developments emerge in this master-planned precinct, we expect strong future demand from upgraders and first-time buyers who value connectivity and community-centric amenities.
