Government to release land for over 4,700 new private homes in second half of 2026

“We will continue to take a long-term approach in planning our city – continue to build more homes as well as reimagine spaces to integrate working, living and playing, to create a vibrant, resilient and sustainable living environment for everyone,” he added.

Analysts said the Town Hall Link site could play a pivotal role in the development of Jurong Lake District.

Singapore Realtors Inc (SRI) head of research and data analytics Mohan Sandrasegeran described the inclusion of the white site as a “significant milestone” in the district’s transformation.

“As Singapore’s largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre, Jurong Lake District is expected to accommodate a growing concentration of homes, offices and lifestyle amenities,” said Mr Sandrasegeran.

“The introduction of a large integrated mixed-use development at Town Hall Link demonstrates the government’s confidence in the district’s long-term growth potential and reflects ongoing efforts to bring jobs, homes and amenities closer together.” 

ERA Singapore chief executive Marcus Chu noted that the site was previously part of a larger master developer concept before being reconfigured into more manageable parcels, potentially making it more attractive to a wider pool of developers.

“Given its size, developers are expected to join hands to bid for this site to mitigate development risk and manage capital outlay,” Mr Chu said.
