URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
Two different parcels re-zoned for household property development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the latest change to URA’s Master Plan 2019. 3 of the spots reside in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The amendments are “to facilitate household development that will support the need for real estate in the locations and also permit more residents to get much simpler access to features and public transport, claims URA.
The three parcels in Sengkang have the prospective to be become a total amount of 4,500 to 5,000 brand-new dwellings in the future, Lee estimates. He strongly believes the residential units are going to be a mix of HDB, exec condo units (ECs) and exclusive property.
The inner spot consists of pockets of non commercial locations, a suggested location for a park, and a suggested spot for a church. A lot of the locations in this parcel will have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
The parcels in Sengkang remain in the Fernvale subzone, bounded 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 roadways diverse the 3 parcels. “The Fernvale location is an extension of Sengkang town and brings locals closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” claims Lee Sze Teck, senior supervisor of data analytics at Huttons Asia.
The land parcel at Woodlands is seated opposite the Singapore Sports School and can generate 1,000 residences, according to Lee. Opposite the roadway, a government land sale (GLS) spot at Champion’s Way was offered for $904 psf per story ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The site can be developed into a 350-unit exclusive household venture.
The western parcel is suggested to be zoned as a pure non commercial site (based on detailed arranging). Huttons’ Lee thinks the westernmost site in Fernvale could house an MRT station for a brand-new line spreading from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and travelling through Sengkang. If so, the new station will certainly offer the upcoming house in Fernvale. “Nevertheless, it may take years for detailed planning on the brand-new track to be recognized,” he includes.
Meanwhile, the site at Bukit Panjang is at the moment inhabited by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the site might generate 900 to 1,000 home units and likely be brand-new Built-to-Order apartments.
The easternmost parcel in addition contains a small site zoned for non commercial, another place for a park, and a proposed place zoned for health and wellness and medical care. The sites in this parcel may be built higher typically than the previous spot, with a bigger gross plot proportion of 4.0 or 4.2.
Different housing development spots in the location include those on Anchorvale Road, which can yield in between 6,000 and 7,000 brand-new dwellings, includes Lee. Thus, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 brand-new residences could possibly be offered in Sengkang in the coming future, consisting of exec condos and personal real estate.
