Two fresh plots just landed on URA’s Confirmed List, and if you’re into Singapore property, this is the kind of news that makes you put down your kopi cup. Marina Gardens Lane and Orchard Boulevard—two very different animals, both landing in 2H2026, and both worth a second look.
Start with Marina Gardens Lane. It’s 0.6 hectares, tucked into the Marina South precinct, zoned residential with shops on the ground floor. Expect around 390 units—the tightest squeeze on the entire 2H2026 list. Think of it like cramming the peak-hour crowd onto one MRT platform. It sits right beside the upcoming Marina South MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, and next door is the 937-unit One Marina Gardens, already 68% sold since April. Analysts are pricing this one at S$1,500 to S$1,700 psf ppr. That’s not pocket change, but it’s still a discount compared to One Marina Gardens’ S$2,953 psf average. This is an early-stage district—no mature amenities yet, no established school network. You’re buying into tomorrow’s skyline, not today’s convenience. In fact, at 6,000 sqm this plot holds the highest density on the entire Confirmed List, which is exactly why space and facilities here deserve close scrutiny. Developments on the site will also be required to include a mandatory early childhood development centre, reflecting the government’s push to integrate family-friendly infrastructure from the ground up.
Now flip to Orchard Boulevard. Smaller land, bigger prestige. Just 0.34 hectares at the corner of Orchard Boulevard and Tomlinson Road, but with a plot ratio of 2.8, it’ll yield roughly 110 units—boutique by any measure. Walking distance to Orchard Boulevard MRT, also on the Thomson-East Coast Line. This is District 10, people. Prime, prime, prime. Top bids could hit S$1,700 psf ppr, and up to eight developers might throw their hats in—that’s the kind of competition you see at a popular hawker stall during lunch rush. Nearby Upperhouse sold at an average S$3,331 psf, 79% taken up already. Scarcity does that to CCR land.
Here’s the bigger picture: this pair contributes 500 units to a Confirmed List totalling 4,745 units, and feeds into a 2026 full-year supply that’s 50% above the ten-year average. URA’s clearly pushing to boost CCR housing stock. Beyond these confirmed plots, the government has also earmarked three reserve list sites for potential release later in the year, to be activated only if developer demand warrants it. Two sites, two totally different games—one’s about scale and waterfront living, the other’s about exclusivity and address. Which one wins depends entirely on what kind of buyer you are.
