The three parcels in Sengkang have the possible to be developed into an overall of 4,500 to 5,000 brand-new homes in the long term, Lee estimates. He believes the household units are going to be a mix of HDB, exec condo units (ECs) and exclusive housing.
The parcels in Sengkang remain in the Fernvale subzone, restrained by the Tampines Expressway to the North, Sengkang West Drive to the East, Fernvale Street to the South and Jalan Kayu to the West. Two roadways separate 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 director of data analytics at Huttons Asia.

On the other hand, the site at Bukit Panjang is at the moment inhabited by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the location can generate 900 to 1,000 residence units and most likely be new Built-to-Order flats.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the most current amendment 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 project that will support the need for housing in the locations and also enable more citizens to get much simpler access to facilities and public transportation, claims URA.
The land parcel at Woodlands rests opposite the Singapore Sports Academy and can yield 1,000 homes, according to Lee. Reverse the roadway, a government land sale (GLS) spot at Champion’s Way was offered for $904 psf per plot ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The area can be become a 350-unit exclusive household venture.
Some other residence advancement places in the location include those on Anchorvale Street, which might produce between 6,000 and 7,000 new homes, adds Lee. Thus, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 brand-new homes could be made available in Sengkang in the future, including executive condos and private housing.
The easternmost parcel furthermore comprises of a narrow area zoned for residential, a different location for a park, and a planned site zoned for health and wellness and primary care. The locations in this parcel may be built much higher on average than the previous spot, with a larger gross plot proportion of 4.0 or 4.2.
Two different parcels of land re-zoned for domestic property development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
The center spot includes pockets of non commercial areas, a recommended location for a park, and a proposed site for a church. Most of the sites in this parcel are going to have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
The westernmost parcel is recommended to be zoned as a pure residential site (based on detailed planning). Huttons’ Lee reckons the western location in Fernvale can house an MRT terminal for a new line running from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and passing through Sengkang. If so, the brand-new stop will certainly serve the upcoming residential area in Fernvale. “Nonetheless, it might take years for comprehensive planning on the new line to be realized,” he adds.
