About
The Government Land Sales (GLS) programme will maintain a high level of private housing supply with 9,185 units in H1 2026, similar to H2 2025. The programme includes nine confirmed and 12 reserve sites, yielding 209,150 sq. m. of commercial space and 970 hotel rooms. The confirmed list will offer 4,575 units, 43% higher than the average from 2021-2023. The reserve list will provide an additional 4,610 units. The Jurong Lake District will develop a White site with a potential yield of 186,000 sq. m.
This year, the government's land sale bidding enthusiasm is high, with the average number of bidders rising to 5.1, while the transaction value in the collective sale market has plummeted by 84.4% year-on-year. The government is reviewing the collective sale policy and may lower the threshold for owner consent. Developers are avoiding collective sales and turning to government land sales, and the collective sale market is expected to remain weak next year
