URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
The inner site contains pockets of non commercial areas, a proposed site for a park, and a proposed site for a house of prayer. The majority of the locations in this parcel will have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
The westernmost parcel is recommended to be zoned as a pure non commercial place (based on detailed arranging). Huttons’ Lee thinks the westernmost site in Fernvale might house an MRT station for a brand-new line running from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and travelling through Sengkang. If so, the brand-new terminal will certainly offer the upcoming house in Fernvale. “However, it may take years for comprehensive preparation on the new line to be realized,” he includes.
The 3 parcels in Sengkang have the possible to be developed into a total of 4,500 to 5,000 brand-new homes in the long term, Lee estimates. He strongly believes the domestic units are going to be a mix of HDB, exec condos (ECs) and exclusive housing.
Some other housing advancement sites in the area consist of those on Anchorvale Street, which could generate in between 6,000 and 7,000 brand-new homes, adds Lee. Thus, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 new houses might be offered in Sengkang in the future, including exec condominiums and exclusive housing.
The easternmost parcel also includes a small area zoned for household, a different place for a park, and a suggested area zoned for health and wellness and healthcare. The sites in this parcel may be developed higher typically than the previous spot, with a larger gross plot ratio of 4.0 or 4.2.
The parcels in Sengkang are in the Fernvale subzone, bounded by the Tampines Expressway to the North, Sengkang West Drive to the East, Fernvale Road to the South and Jalan Kayu to the West. 2 roadways diverse the 3 parcels. “The Fernvale location is an extension of Sengkang town and brings residents closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” claims Lee Sze Teck, senior director of information analytics at Huttons Asia.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the most recent modification to URA’s Master Plan 2019. Three of the locations remain in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The modifications are “to facilitate property development that will support the demand for real estate in the places as well as permit more citizens to get easier access to facilities and public transportation, claims URA.
2 different tracts re-zoned for residential property development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.

On the other hand, the site at Bukit Panjang is at the moment occupied by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the site can yield 900 to 1,000 house units and most likely be brand-new Built-to-Order condos.
The land parcel at Woodlands rests opposite the Singapore Sports Academy and can yield 1,000 residences, according to Lee. Opposite the roadway, a government land sale (GLS) site at Champion’s Way was offered for $904 psf per story ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The site can be developed into a 350-unit private residential project.
