URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
Other housing advancement places in the area consist of those on Anchorvale Street, which can yield in between 6,000 and 7,000 new homes, adds Lee. Therefore, anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000 new houses could possibly be offered in Sengkang in the future, consisting of executive condominiums and exclusive housing.
The center location contains pockets of non commercial areas, a suggested site for a park, and a proposed site for a house of prayer. A lot of the sites in this parcel are going to have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2.
The easternmost parcel in addition contains a limited site zoned for residential, another place for a park, and a planned place zoned for health and medical care. The locations in this parcel may be built much higher on average than the previous spot, with a bigger gross plot ratio of 4.0 or 4.2.
The western parcel is suggested to be zoned as a pure residential site (subject to detailed planning). Huttons’ Lee thinks the western site in Fernvale could house an MRT station for a brand-new line running from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and passing through Sengkang. If so, the new terminal will serve the upcoming suburb in Fernvale. “Nevertheless, it might take years for in-depth preparation on the brand-new track to be recognized,” he includes.
The three parcels in Sengkang have the prospective to be developed into a total amount of 4,500 to 5,000 new residences in the long term, Lee quotes. He thinks the household units will be a mix of HDB, exec condominiums (ECs) and personal housing.
The parcels in Sengkang remain 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. 2 roads diverse the 3 parcels. “The Fernvale area is an extension of Sengkang town and brings locals closer to Seletar Aerospace Park,” states Lee Sze Teck, senior supervisor of information analytics at Huttons Asia.
Five land parcels were rezoned as part of the latest modification to URA’s Master Plan 2019. 3 of the locations reside in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and the other in Bukit Panjang. The changes are “to help with domestic property development that is going to sustain the demand for housing in the locations and also permit even more citizens to have much easier easy access to services and public transport, says URA.
2 other tracts re-zoned for household property development are at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
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 house units and most likely be brand-new Built-to-Order apartments.
The land parcel at Woodlands is seated opposite the Singapore Sports School and can generate 1,000 residences, according to Lee. Opposite the road, a government land sale (GLS) location at Champion’s Way was sold for $904 psf per story ratio in September 2023 to City Developments Ltd. The place can be become a 350-unit private housing project.
