URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
The parcels in Sengkang remain in the Fernvale subzone, bounded by the Tampines Expressway to the North, Sengkang West Drive to the East, Fernvale Avenue to the South and Jalan Kayu to the West. 2 roads detached the three parcels. “The Fernvale area is an extension of Sengkang town and brings locals closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” claims Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at Huttons Asia.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the most current change to URA’s Master Plan 2019. 3 of the spots reside in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The modifications are “to assist in domestic property development that will sustain the demand for housing in the areas in addition to allow more locals to get much simpler access to amenities and public transport, says URA.
The westernmost parcel is suggested to be zoned as a pure residential site (based on detailed outlining). Huttons’ Lee thinks the westernmost site in Fernvale might house an MRT station for a new line spreading from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and passing through Sengkang. If so, the new terminal will offer the upcoming house in Fernvale. “Nonetheless, it might take years for in-depth planning on the brand-new line to be recognized,” he includes.
Different home development spots in the area consist of those on Anchorvale Street, which could yield between 6,000 and 7,000 brand-new residences, adds Lee. Thus, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 brand-new homes could possibly be offered in Sengkang in the coming future, consisting of executive condominiums and personal housing.
The easternmost parcel in addition includes a small area zoned for non commercial, an additional site for a park, and a planned site zoned for health and primary care. The locations in this parcel might be built higher on average than the previous spot, with a bigger gross plot ratio of 4.0 or 4.2.
The inner site consists of pockets of non commercial locations, a suggested place for a park, and a proposed spot for a house of prayer. A lot of the locations 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 become an overall of 4,500 to 5,000 brand-new residences in the future, Lee estimates. He believes the residential units are going to be a mix of HDB, exec condo units (ECs) and exclusive property.
2 different tracts re-zoned for domestic property development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
Meanwhile, the site at Bukit Panjang is currently occupied by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the site can generate 900 to 1,000 residence units and most likely be brand-new Built-to-Order flats.
The land parcel at Woodlands sits opposite the Singapore Sports School and can yield 1,000 homes, according to Lee. Opposite the roadway, a government land sale (GLS) site at Champion’s Way was offered for $904 psf per plot ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The place can be turned into a 350-unit exclusive housing project.
