The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has launched a tender for a residential site in Holland Plain under the Confirmed List of the government land sales (GLS) programme for the first half of 2026. The 1.57-hectare plot is expected to yield 280 new private homes, marking the first GLS site tender of the year. This site is adjacent to another plot in Holland Link, awarded in August 2025.
The Holland Plain area is set to transform into a private residential enclave featuring two parks, including a wetland park. The development will include green “fingers” to facilitate access to the King Albert Park MRT station and the Rail Corridor. The King Albert Park MRT station, currently on the Downtown Line, will become an interchange with the upcoming Cross Island Line by 2032.
The site is within 1 km of Methodist Girls’ School, with other reputable schools like Henry Park Primary School and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School located 1 to 2 km away. The area’s educational institutions, coupled with future developments, may attract developers despite the current lack of amenities and limited transport access.
The land price for the adjacent Holland Link site, secured by Sim Lian Group for $1,432 psf ppr, could set a benchmark for the Holland Plain tender. PropNex anticipates three to five bids, with the top bid potentially reaching $1,400 to $1,500 psf ppr.
Separately, URA has made a Reserve List site in Morrison Lane available, potentially yielding 205 residential units and 500 sq m of commercial space. However, developers may prioritise other upcoming sites in River Valley Green and Peck Hay Road due to more attractive location attributes.
