URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
The easternmost parcel furthermore comprises of a limited site zoned for household, a different location for a park, and a planned area zoned for health and primary care. The sites in this parcel might be built higher typically than the previous location, with a bigger gross plot proportion of 4.0 or 4.2.
The parcels in Sengkang remain in the Fernvale subzone, bounded by the Tampines Expressway to the North, Sengkang West Drive to the East, Fernvale Street to the South and Jalan Kayu to the West. 2 roads diverse the 3 parcels. “The Fernvale location is an expansion of Sengkang town and brings residents closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” claims Lee Sze Teck, senior supervisor of data analytics at Huttons Asia.
The western parcel is suggested to be zoned as a pure housing place (based on detailed preparation). Huttons’ Lee thinks the westernmost site in Fernvale might house an MRT station for a brand-new line operating from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and passing through Sengkang. If so, the new stop will serve the upcoming residential area in Fernvale. “Nevertheless, it may take years for detailed preparation on the new track to be recognized,” he includes.
The three parcels in Sengkang have the possible to be developed into a total of 4,500 to 5,000 new houses in the years to come, Lee estimates. He thinks the domestic units may be a mix of HDB, exec condos (ECs) and private property.
Other residence development places in the location consist of those on Anchorvale Road, which could yield between 6,000 and 7,000 new dwellings, adds Lee. Therefore, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 new residences could possibly be made available in Sengkang in the coming future, including executive residences and private housing.
The inner site includes pockets of housing locations, a proposed place for a park, and a suggested site for a place of worship. The majority of the sites in this parcel are going to have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the latest change to URA’s Master Plan 2019. Three of the sites reside in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The modifications are “to facilitate property development that is going to sustain the interest for real estate in the areas and also allow even more residents to have much easier access to features and public transport, states URA.
2 different tracts re-zoned for household development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
The land parcel at Woodlands sits opposite the Singapore Sports School and can produce 1,000 residences, according to Lee. Opposite the roadway, a government land sale (GLS) spot at Champion’s Way was sold for $904 psf per plot ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The place can be turned into a 350-unit exclusive residential project.
Meanwhile, the site at Bukit Panjang is currently occupied by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the area could generate 900 to 1,000 dwelling units and likely be brand-new Built-to-Order condos.
