The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has announced the launch of a land tender for three private residential sites at Dunearn Road, Kallang Close, and Lentor Central as part of the second half of 2025 Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. These sites are expected to yield approximately 330, 470, and 560 units, respectively, with tenders closing in early 2026.
Dunearn Road, the second site under Bukit Timah Turf City’s long-term rejuvenation plan, is set to become a vibrant housing estate over the next 20 to 30 years. Located near Sixth Avenue MRT station, the site will include 1,400 square metres of commercial space on the ground floor, enhancing convenience for future residents. The first Turf City parcel saw nine bids, and Realion (OrangeTee & ETC)’s Deputy Group CEO, Justin Quek, anticipates three to six bidders for this site, with land rates between S$1,300 and S$1,400 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
Kallang Close, near Kallang MRT station, offers potential river views and proximity to Kallang Riverside Park. The area’s transformation from industrial estates to new neighbourhoods promises a vibrant future. The Dorset Road site in the Kallang Planning Area previously attracted nine bids, and Quek expects similar interest here, with four to seven bidders and land rates of S$1,200 to S$1,300 psf ppr.
Lentor Central, the eighth plot in Lentor Hills estate, is close to Lentor MRT Station and Lentor Modern mall. Despite seven parcels already sold, demand remains strong, with limited unsold units in launched projects. Quek predicts one to three bidders for this site, with land rates between S$900 and S$1,000 psf ppr.
These developments highlight the ongoing transformation and growth in Singapore’s residential landscape, with significant interest expected from developers.
