URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
The western parcel is proposed to be zoned as a pure residential area (subject to detailed preparation). Huttons’ Lee thinks the western location in Fernvale might house an MRT station for a brand-new line running from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and going through Sengkang. If so, the brand-new terminal will offer the upcoming house in Fernvale. “Nonetheless, it might take years for detailed preparation on the brand-new track to be realized,” he includes.
Meanwhile, the site at Bukit Panjang is currently inhabited by Beacon Primary School. Lee estimates that the location can produce 900 to 1,000 residence units and most likely be brand-new Built-to-Order apartments.

The middle spot includes pockets of residential sites, a proposed location for a park, and a proposed spot for a church. Most of the sites in this parcel will have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
The land parcel at Woodlands sits opposite the Singapore Sports School and can generate 1,000 houses, according to Lee. Reverse the road, a government land sale (GLS) site at Champion’s Way was sold for $904 psf per plot ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The site can be turned into a 350-unit personal non commercial project.
The 3 parcels in Sengkang have the potential to be turned into an overall of 4,500 to 5,000 brand-new homes in the future, Lee quotes. He believes the residential units are going to be a mix of HDB, executive condo units (ECs) and personal housing.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the most current change to URA’s Master Plan 2019. Three of the locations reside in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The changes are “to promote domestic project that is going to support the demand for housing in the places in addition to allow even more citizens to get easier access to services and public transportation, claims URA.
The parcels in Sengkang are in the Fernvale subzone, bounded 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 detached the three parcels. “The Fernvale location is an extension of Sengkang town and brings residents closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” states Lee Sze Teck, senior supervisor of data analytics at Huttons Asia.
The easternmost parcel furthermore includes a small area zoned for non commercial, an additional location for a park, and a suggested place zoned for health and wellness and medical care. The locations in this parcel might be developed higher typically than the previous spot, with a bigger gross plot proportion of 4.0 or 4.2.
Two other parcels re-zoned for residential development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
Some other home advancement sites in the location consist of those on Anchorvale Road, which can generate between 6,000 and 7,000 brand-new residences, includes Lee. Hence, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 brand-new houses might be offered in Sengkang in the future, including exec condominiums and exclusive housing.
