URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the most current modification to URA’s Master Plan 2019. 3 of the spots reside in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The amendments are “to promote household project that will sustain the demand for housing in the locations as well as permit more citizens to have easier access to facilities and public transport, says URA.
The three parcels in Sengkang have the prospective to be turned into a total amount of 4,500 to 5,000 new dwellings in the future, Lee estimates. He thinks the domestic units may be a mix of HDB, exec condo units (ECs) and exclusive housing.
The easternmost parcel furthermore comprises of a small site zoned for household, an additional site for a park, and a suggested site zoned for health and healthcare. The locations in this parcel might be built higher on average than the previous site, with a larger gross plot ratio of 4.0 or 4.2.
The inner location includes pockets of non commercial areas, a recommended place for a park, and a suggested spot for a house of prayer. The majority of the spots in this parcel will have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
Different housing advancement sites in the area include those on Anchorvale Road, which could yield between 6,000 and 7,000 new houses, adds Lee. Hence, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 new homes might be provided in Sengkang in the coming future, consisting of exec residences and private housing.
The westernmost parcel is suggested to be zoned as a pure non commercial area (based on detailed preparation). Huttons’ Lee reckons the western location in Fernvale might house an MRT terminal for a brand-new line running from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and travelling through Sengkang. If so, the brand-new stop will certainly serve the upcoming suburb in Fernvale. “However, it may take years for thorough planning on the brand-new line to be recognized,” he includes.
The parcels in Sengkang are in the Fernvale subzone, restrained by the Tampines Expressway to the North, Sengkang West Drive to the East, Fernvale Avenue to the South and Jalan Kayu to the West. Two roads separate the three parcels. “The Fernvale location is an expansion of Sengkang town and brings locals closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” states Lee Sze Teck, senior director of information analytics at Huttons Asia.
2 different tracts re-zoned for residential development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
The land parcel at Woodlands rests opposite the Singapore Sports School and can produce 1,000 dwellings, according to Lee. Opposite the road, a government land sale (GLS) location at Champion’s Way was offered for $904 psf per plot ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The area can be turned into a 350-unit exclusive housing venture.
Meanwhile, the site at Bukit Panjang is at the moment occupied by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the area can generate 900 to 1,000 house units and most likely be brand-new Built-to-Order flats.
