The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) released its Draft Master Plan 2025, outlining new housing projects across Singapore. The plan includes at least 80,000 new public and private homes over the next 10–15 years .
Notable areas include:
- Newton and Orchard: Up to 6,000 private homes near Newton MRT and Orchard Road .
- Dover-Medway: About 6,000 units, public and private, near One‑North .
- Kranji: Approximately 14,000 homes on the site of the former Singapore Racecourse .
- Sembawang Shipyard: Plans for a mixed-use waterfront district with future residential options .
The plan also focuses on preserving heritage, adding green corridors, and building community hubs in areas like Bishan, Yio Chu Kang, and Sengkang .
Our Honest View on this
We see this as a boost for strategic homeowners and investors. Here’s what matters:
1. New Supply in Core Areas
Newton and Orchard offer rare central housing. These zones could attract high-end buyers and potential yield. But pricing may stay high due to cooling measures like a 60% ABSD for foreigners .
2. Growing Estates Outside CBD
Developments in Dover-Medway and Kranji open up entry-level investments in key growth corridors. They may offer good rental yield and buffer against core-price volatility.
3. Focus on Heritage and Lifestyle
Heritage conservation and green corridors, like Monk’s Hill park, create lasting appeal. Parks and hubs in Paya Lebar and Bishan will draw families and long-term tenants.
4. Balanced Markets Ahead
With public and private homes in multiple areas, supply will be gradual. URA plans to monitor demand before releasing new parcels. That can stabilise prices for sellers and buyers alike .
Top Tips for Homeowners and Investors
- Watch for GLS launches: Newton, Dover, Kranji estates will come in phases often via Government Land Sales (GLS). Early access may bring value.
- Focus on lifestyle corridors: Priority locations include Newton-Orchard mixed-use hubs, Dover near One‑North, and waterfront Sembawang.
- Study cooling policies: Foreign ABSD remains high. Local buyers see more clarity in property costs today.
- Look beyond pure price: Green corridors, heritage zones, and community amenities drive long-term appeal.
