The Government Land Sales (GLS) programme for 1H2025 continues to roll out key sites across Singapore. This week, three residential plots—at Telok Blangah Road, Dorset Road, and Upper Thomson Road (Parcel A)—have been officially launched for tender.
Each of these sites offers unique locational strengths, from city-fringe vibrancy to new growth precincts with transformation potential. As a real estate agent, I see these launches as significant stepping stones toward shaping the next wave of residential demand and urban regeneration.

🧠 Market Commentary: What Do These Sites Tell Us?
📍 Telok Blangah Road is the headline act here—marking the first GLS site in the Greater Southern Waterfront since the area's redevelopment plans were unveiled. With 9,000 public and private homes envisioned in the GSW, this launch offers first-mover advantage for developers and a rare opportunity for future homebuyers to own in a transformative precinct.
🏙️ Dorset Road carries city-fringe prestige and proximity to strong amenities. With the successful launch of Piccadilly Grand in 2022 as a benchmark, buyers can expect high livability and capital appreciation potential from any future launch at this site.
🌳 Upper Thomson Road (Parcel A) is more nuanced. After failing to draw bids in its first tender (due to the then-mandated SA2 serviced apartment component), the site now re-enters the market with greater flexibility. This pivot could attract cautious but strategic bids, especially from developers seeking to complement the upcoming Springleaf Residences next door.
✅ Key Takeaways
✅ GSW transformation begins with Telok Blangah Road—745 units in a waterfront lifestyle precinct
✅ Dorset Road offers strong city-fringe appeal with MRT access, top schools, and future amenities
✅ Upper Thomson Parcel A re-launched with relaxed SA2 rules—mixed-use and MRT adjacency boost value
✅ First-mover advantage key across all three plots
✅ Market sentiment remains measured, but developer interest is expected to be healthy in these well-located sites
