A new residential development opportunity has emerged in River Valley’s sought-after Robertson Quay vicinity, as the Urban Redevelopment Authority released the Morrison Lane site from its reserve list on February 25, 2026, marking the fifth private condominium project to enter this prime central enclave within just eight months.
Morrison Lane marks the fifth prime central condominium launch in River Valley’s Robertson Quay area within eight months.
The site joins recent launches including Robertson Opus, River Green, Promenade Peak, Zyon Grand, and River Modern, adding further momentum to this core central region residential precinct.
Spanning 6,669.8 square metres, the Morrison Lane parcel will be tendered on an application basis, meaning developers must submit proposals meeting the minimum acceptable offer before the site officially goes to market.
Industry observers estimate the successful bid will range between $1,400 and $1,500 per square foot per plot ratio, translating to a total project quantum of approximately $300 million.
This bite-sized investment opportunity is expected to attract developers looking to replenish their land banks in the CCR, following pricing precedents from comparable sites.
The development parameters allow for 205 residential units across a maximum height of 15 storeys, with a gross plot ratio of 2.8 yielding a maximum gross floor area of 18,676 square metres.
However, the site comes with mixed-use requirements that developers must navigate carefully.
The first storey is zoned for commercial purposes, with mandatory allocations including a minimum 500-square-metre childcare centre and between 500 to 1,000 square metres of commercial space.
Additionally, portions of the site fall within a low-rise zone, restricting those sections to just four storeys.
These community-serving facilities integrate essential neighbourhood infrastructure into the development, enhancing the area’s support system for residents.
The commercial component guarantees ground-floor activation while the childcare centre addresses family needs, a thoughtful planning approach that balances density with liveability.
The Morrison Lane parcel was one of two residential sites released by URA under the H1 2026 GLS programme, alongside the Holland Plain site from the confirmed list.
As part of the H1 2026 government land sales programme, this Morrison Lane site represents another opportunity for developers to stake their claim in one of Singapore’s most established residential neighbourhoods, where riverside charm meets central convenience.
This release follows URA’s previous H2 GLS programme in late 2025, which included sites at Dairy Farm Walk, Tanjong Rhu Road, and Dover Drive expected to yield approximately 1,650 private homes.
Demand for CCR homes reached its highest in four years during 2025, setting a strong market backdrop for this release.
