Second Half 2013 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme • The Government today announced the second half 2013 (2H2013) GLS Programme. Comprising 11 Confirmed List sites and 20 Reserve List sites, the GLS programme can yield up to 14,200 private residential units, including 3,300 Executive Condominium (EC) units, 268,000 sqm gross floor area (GFA) of commercial space and 960 hotel rooms (see Appendices 1 & 2).
Supply of Private Housing • The Confirmed List contains 10 private residential sites, including 5 EC sites. All of these sites are located in the Outside Central Region and the Rest of Central Region, where more affordable private housing is expected to be built. The supply of about 6,000 private residential units (including 2,800 EC units) comes on top of the record high supply of 100,600 units (including ECs) in the pipeline, of which 39,000 units still remain unsold as of the first quarter of 2013. • The Government will continue two initiatives which were introduced in the 1H2013 GLS Programme to encourage more prudent bidding by developers. First, the batched tender closing date system will be applied on two pairs of sites on the Confirmed List. Sites in each pair are adjacent to each other, and of a similar size and unit yield. The first pair is located at Upper Serangoon View and meant for private residential developments; the other is at Choa Chu Kang Grove and meant for EC developments.
Supply of Commercial Space • The Government is releasing a commercial site at Woodlands Avenue 5 for sale on the Confirmed List of the 2H2013 GLS Programme to kick-start the development of Woodlands Regional Centre. Woodlands Regional Centre will anchor the recently announced North Coast Innovation Corridor, which aims to introduce more jobs near homes in the north of Singapore. This site will provide 66,000 sqm GFA of office space to meet business needs, and 3,500 sqm GFA of ancillary retail space. • Supply of Hotel Rooms • The hotel site at Victoria Street, which was made available for sale through the Reserve List in November 2012, will be removed from the Reserve List to facilitate a review of the land use intention for the site. Three remaining hotel sites at Race Course Road, East Coast Road and Havelock Road, with a total estimated yield of 960 rooms, will be carried over from the 1H2013 Reserve List.
