1h2026 Gls Programme Offers Nine Confirmed List Sites Including Two Ec Plots And Mixed Use Site
Overview of the 1H2026 Government Land Sales Programme
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore has recently disclosed details about the upcoming 1H2026 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme. This programme is set to include nine sites on the Confirmed List and twelve on the Reserve List. The Confirmed List primarily features eight private residential sites, two of which are designated for executive condominiums (ECs), and a mixed-use site that combines both commercial and residential spaces.
The projected yield from the Confirmed List totals up to 4,575 private residential units, which incorporates 635 units designated for ECs and approximately 242,188 square feet of commercial floor area. This shows a modest decrease in the number of residential units compared to previous allocations in the GLS Programmes of the latter half of 2025.
Similarly, the Reserve List introduces a diverse array of potential developments, including six private residential sites, a commercial site, three mixed-use “White” sites, and two hotel sites. Collectively, these could contribute an additional 4,610 private residential units, over 2 million square feet of commercial space, and 970 hotel rooms, marking the largest Reserve List offering since the second half of 2021.
For those interested in the executive condominium market, the Miltonia Close EC project might be particularly intriguing. It represents a timely opportunity for potential homeowners, especially in light of the current offerings in the GLS Programme.
Key Sites and Their Potential
Residential and Mixed-Use Developments
The standout mixed-use plot is located on Bayshore Drive, positioned directly above the under-construction Bedok South MRT Station. This site is notable for its substantial size and potential, expected to yield around 1,280 housing units alongside a significant commercial area. This plot is particularly anticipated to attract attention due to its strategic placement in the emerging Bayshore district.
In the core central region, the Peck Hay Road site is another key location highlighted in the GLS Programme. Covering 0.55 hectares, it could offer approximately 315 new homes right next to the Newton MRT Interchange, forecasted to be a hotspot for developers given its prime location and the high demand observed in nearby areas.
Executive Condominium Sites
The GLS Programme also includes EC sites at Canberra Drive and Sembawang Drive. The Canberra Drive site, although smaller, offering about 185 units, benefits from proximity to the Canberra MRT Station, which could make it especially appealing to developers due to the lower financial outlay required and the potential for high demand.
Conversely, the Sembawang Drive site is positioned within a quieter neighborhood and is expected to yield approximately 450 EC units. Its appeal might be boosted by its closeness to green spaces and essential amenities, making it a suitable option for families.
Future Potential and Urban Development
Looking ahead, the introduction of a new White site at Town Hall Link as part of the Reserve List reflects the URA’s strategic planning. This site, carved from the larger Jurong Lake District master developer site, will offer a mix of residential and commercial spaces, and is poised for a launch that could attract significant developer interest due to a more manageable development scale and pre-planned infrastructural enhancements.
Overall, the 1H2026 GLS Programme is geared to sustain the momentum of Singapore’s real estate market, providing a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments that cater to a diverse range of needs and preferences.
