Singapore government limits city-fringe housing growth

The Singapore government has announced its land sales programme for the second half of 2026, maintaining a stable supply of private housing to meet ongoing demand. PropNex highlights a significant focus on the Rest of Central Region (RCR), with four of the nine Confirmed List sites located in this sub-market. Additionally, there is a strategic adjustment in the supply of executive condominium (EC) units, reflecting recent policy changes.

The Confirmed List for 2H 2026 will offer 4,745 private homes, including 735 EC units, marking a 3.7% increase from the first half of the year. This represents the highest half-yearly supply since 1H 2025. The programme includes eight residential sites and a White site in the Jurong Lake District, with several sites moved from the Reserve List to the Confirmed List.

Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex, commented, “The steady supply of private housing sites indicates the government’s commitment to balancing the residential property market amid strong demand.” He noted that the ample supply suggests confidence in the underlying housing demand.

Key sites in the programme include the Town Hall Link in Jurong Lake District, which will feature a mixed-use development with 1,200 homes, and the Marina Gardens Lane site, offering 390 units. The Orchard Boulevard site, expected to yield 110 units, is also anticipated to attract interest due to its prime location.

The EC supply for 2H 2026 is set at 735 units, slightly higher than the first half, but overall lower than 2025. This measured approach likely reflects a transitional phase as the government assesses market responses to new EC measures introduced in May 2026.
