Reserve List Site Carved From Jurong Lake District Master Developer Plot Released by URA

The Urban Redevelopment Authority has just placed a “white site” on the Reserve List, carving out a manageable parcel from the sprawling Jurong Lake District master‑developer plot, a move that aims to lower entry barriers for developers and keep Singapore’s private residential supply steady. This parcel, located at Town Hall Link, is the first white site to be released from the 2025 Jurong Lake District (JLD) master‑developer land, and it signals a shift toward more flexible, mixed‑use development in the city‑state’s largest mixed‑use business district outside the centre. The URA’s decision, announced as part of the 1H2026 Government Land Sales programme, is intended to give developers a “half‑size” piece of land that reduces financial risk while still fitting into the broader JLD master plan, which envisions a sustainable urban environment with extensive green spaces, office towers, retail, civic facilities and a network of rail links including the Jurong Region Line and Cross‑Island Line. The newly released site offers a total gross floor area of up to 186,000 sqm, with a minimum of 40,000 sqm earmarked for office use. Developers may also propose up to 1,200 private residential units, including executive condominiums, and allocate 44,000 sqm for complementary uses such as retail, hotel and community facilities. This flexibility allows developers to craft integrated schemes that respond to market demand for both owner‑occupied and rental housing, while staying aligned with the JLD’s phased development timeline that stretches into the 2030s. The site will initially sit on the Reserve List, giving interested parties time to study revised planning guidelines and prepare tender proposals before it potentially moves to the Confirmed List. Reserve List placement The broader 1H2026 GLS programme includes nine Confirmed List sites and twelve Reserve List sites, together projected to deliver roughly 9,185 private residential units, 209,150 sqm of commercial floor area and 970 hotel rooms. The carved‑out white site contributes up to 4,610 private residential units to the Reserve List tally, complementing the 4,575 units already slated on the Confirmed List. largest Reserve List supply This release follows the government’s broader commitment to meeting housing demand across Singapore, mirroring the approach taken with the 1H2025 GLS Programme, which similarly targeted the delivery of over 5,000 residential units across prime sites including Telok Blangah, Dorset Road, and Upper Thomson Road.
