URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
The westernmost parcel is proposed to be zoned as a pure non commercial place (based on detailed outlining). Huttons’ Lee believes the westernmost location in Fernvale might house an MRT station for a brand-new line spreading from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and going through Sengkang. If so, the new stop will certainly offer the upcoming suburb in Fernvale. “Nevertheless, it might take years for comprehensive planning on the brand-new line to be recognized,” he includes.
The easternmost parcel in addition contains a limited site zoned for residence, a different place for a park, and a planned site zoned for health and medical care. The sites in this parcel might be developed much higher on average than the previous location, with a larger gross plot proportion of 4.0 or 4.2.
The parcels in Sengkang are in the Fernvale subzone, restrained 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 roads diverse the 3 parcels. “The Fernvale area 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.
Other home growth sites in the location include those on Anchorvale Street, which could produce between 6,000 and 7,000 brand-new homes, adds Lee. Hence, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 new houses could possibly be made available in Sengkang in the future, consisting of executive condominiums and personal real estate.
The inner location consists of pockets of residential sites, a suggested place for a park, and a proposed spot for a church. Most of the sites in this parcel will have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
The 3 parcels in Sengkang have the possible to be turned into a total of 4,500 to 5,000 brand-new homes in the future, Lee estimates. He strongly believes the household units may be a mix of HDB, executive condo units (ECs) and private housing.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the most current modification to URA’s Master Plan 2019. 3 of the spots are in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The modifications are “to help with domestic project that is going to support the need for housing in the places and also permit even more locals to have much simpler easy access to amenities and public transportation, says URA.
2 other tracts re-zoned for household property development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
On the other hand, the site at Bukit Panjang is currently occupied by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the area might produce 900 to 1,000 dwelling units and most likely be new Built-to-Order condos.
The land parcel at Woodlands rests opposite the Singapore Sports Academy and can generate 1,000 residences, according to Lee. Reverse the roadway, a government land sale (GLS) location at Champion’s Way was marketed for $904 psf per plot ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The area can be developed into a 350-unit personal housing venture.
