# Release of First Half 2018 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme - **Source:** Ministry of National Development - **Published:** 2017-12-13T00:30:00.000Z - **Author:** Ministry of National Development - **Original:** https://www.mnd.gov.sg/newsroom/press-releases/view/release-of-first-half-2018-government-land-sales-(gls)-programme - **Topics:** Private Residential, Commercial & Industrial, Government & Policy ## Featured rationale Stable land supply balanced strong developer demand against substantial unsold, unapproved and vacant inventory, potentially restraining excessive competition for development sites. ## AI summary The 1H2018 GLS Programme maintained supply near 2H2017 levels, offering sites capable of yielding about 8,045 private homes and 63,960 sqm of commercial space. ## Original article Release of First Half 2018 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme 1. The Government today announced the first half 2018 (1H2018) Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme, which comprises six Confirmed List sites and nine Reserve List sites. These sites can yield about 8,045 private residential units and 63,960 sqm gross floor area (GFA) of commercial space (see Appendices 1 & 2). 2. The six Confirmed List sites are private residential sites [including one Executive Condominium (EC) site] which can yield 2,775 private dwelling units (including 450 EC units) and 4,450 sqm GFA of commercial space. 3. The Reserve List comprises eight private residential sites (including two EC sites) and one commercial site. These sites can yield 5,270 private dwelling units (including 1,255 EC units) and 59,510 sqm GFA of commercial space, mostly for office use. Supply of Private Housing 4. In working out the supply for the 1H2018 GLS Programme, the Government had taken into consideration several factors. 5. On the one hand, there is strong demand for sites by real estate developers, and a pick-up in transaction volumes. On the other hand, there is a large potential supply of around 20,000 units from awarded en-bloc sale and GLS sites that have not yet been granted planning approval, on top of the around 18,000 unsold units that already have planning approval. Moreover, there are more than 30,000 existing private housing units that remain vacant. 6. Therefore, on balance, the Government has decided to keep the total supply of units for 1H2018 at about the same level as the supply of units from the 2H2017 GLS Programme. 7. Taken together, the total supply in the pipeline, including the units from the 1H2018 GLS Programme, will be adequate to meet the purchase demand for new private housing from home buyers over the next 1-2 years. When these are completed, the overall stock of private housing will be more than sufficient to meet Singaporeans’ housing needs. Supply of Commercial Space 8. The 1H2018 Reserve List will have one site at Woodlands Square for a mixed-use development comprising mainly office space. This site will allow developers to initiate the development of more office space if they assess that there is demand.

Appendix 2 ------------- Status of the GLS Programme for the Second Half of 2017 (2H2017) (as at 13 December 2017) 1. The second half of 2017 (2H2017) GLS Programme comprised 16 sites, of which six are on the Confirmed List and 10 are on the Reserve List. 2. To date, tenders for four Confirmed List sites are on-going and the remaining two Confirmed List sites will be launched in later part of December 2017. 3. The Reserve List sites at Jiak Kim Street, Fourth Avenue and West Coast Vale have been successfully triggered. The tenders for the Jiak Kim Street and Fourth Avenue sites have been awarded on 8 December 2017 while the West Coast Vale site will be sold by February 2018. 4. As a result, a total of seven sites [i.e. six residential sites and one commercial site] remain on the 2H2017 Reserve List and will be carried over to the first half 2018 (1H2018) GLS Programme. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### 公布2018年上半年政府售地（GLS）计划 公布2018年上半年政府售地（GLS）计划 1. 政府今日公布2018年上半年（1H2018）政府售地（GLS）计划，包括六个确认名单地段及九个备用名单地段。这些地段可供应约8,045个私人住宅单位及63,960平方米商业建筑总楼面面积（GFA）（见附录1及2）。 2. 六个确认名单地段为私人住宅地段［包括一个执行共管公寓（EC）地段］，可供应2,775个私人住宅单位（包括450个EC单位）及4,450平方米商业GFA。 3. 备用名单包括八个私人住宅地段（其中两个为EC地段）及一个商业地段。这些地段可供应5,270个私人住宅单位（包括1,255个EC单位）及59,510平方米商业GFA，其中大部分拟作办公用途。 私人住宅供应 4. 在制定1H2018 GLS计划的供应时，政府已考虑多项因素。 5. 一方面，房地产发展商对地段需求强劲，成交量亦有回升。另一方面，已中标的集体出售（en bloc）及GLS地段中，约有20,000个单位尚未获批规划许可，另有约18,000个已获规划许可但尚未售出的单位。此外，现有私人住宅空置单位超过30,000个。 6. 因此，综合权衡后，政府决定将1H2018的总单位供应量维持在与2017年下半年（2H2017）GLS计划大致相同的水平。 7. 综合计算，包括1H2018 GLS计划单位在内的在建及待建供应，足以满足未来1至2年购房者对新建私人住宅的购买需求。这些单位落成后，私人住宅整体存量将足以满足新加坡人的住房需求。 商业空间供应 8. 1H2018备用名单将包括一个位于兀兰广场（Woodlands Square）的混合用途发展地段，主要以办公空间为主。该地段将让发展商在评估存在需求时，主动启动更多办公空间的开发。 附录1 ------------ 1H2018 GLS计划拟议住宅、商业及酒店地段 序号 地点 地段面积（公顷） 拟议总容积率（GPR） 估计住宅单位数（1） 估计酒店客房数 估计商业空间（平方米） 估计推出日期 销售代理 确认名单 住宅地段 1 Cuscaden Road 0.57 2.8 170 0 0 2018年2月 URA 2 Silat Avenue (2) 2.50 3.5 1,125 0 450 2018年3月 URA 3 Mattar Road 0.62 3.0 250 0 0 2018年3月 URA 4 Dairy Farm Road (3)(4) 1.97 2.1 500 0 4,000 2018年5月 URA 5 Jalan Jurong Kechil (3) 1.49 1.4 280 0 0 2018年6月 URA 6 Canberra Link (EC) (3) 1.80 2.5 450 0 0 2018年6月 HDB 合计（确认名单） 2,775 0 4,450 序号 地点 地段面积（公顷） 拟议总容积率（GPR） 估计住宅单位数（1） 估计酒店客房数 估计商业空间（平方米） 估计可供申请日期（5） 销售代理 备用名单 住宅地段 1 Bartley Road / Jalan Bunga Rampai (6) 0.47 2.1 115 0 0 现已可供申请 URA 2 Yishun Avenue 9 2.15 2.8 805 0 0 现已可供申请 URA 3 Canberra Drive 4.09 1.4 765 0 0 现已可供申请 URA 4 Sims Drive (3) 1.70 3.0 680 0 0 2018年5月 URA 5 Tampines Avenue 10 (EC) (3) 2.56 2.8 715 0 0 2018年5月 HDB 6 Clementi Avenue 1 (3)(7) 1.88 3.5 640 0 0 2018年6月 URA 7 Anchorvale Crescent (EC) (3) 1.80 3.0 540 0 0 2018年6月 HDB 8 Peck Seah Street (3)(8) 0.72 8.4 700 0 4,500 2018年6月 URA 商业地段 9 Woodlands Square (9) 2.24 3.5 310 0 55,010 现已可供申请 URA 合计（备用名单） 5,270 0 59,510 合计（确认名单及备用名单） 8,045 63,960 (1) 部分由2H2017备用名单结转地段的估计住宅单位数已更新，以反映地段面积调整。 (2) 该地段设有450平方米GFA零售上限及1,125个单位的住宅单位上限。 (3) 1H2018新引入地段。 (4) 该地段设有4,000平方米GFA零售上限。 (5) 指详细售地条件预计可供查阅及可提交申请的日期。 (6) 该地段设有116个单位的住宅单位上限。 (7) 该地段设有640个单位的住宅单位上限。 (8) 该地段设有4,500平方米GFA零售上限。 (9) 该地段设有3,000平方米GFA零售上限。 (1) 部分由2H2017备用名单结转地段的估计住宅单位数已更新，以反映地段面积调整。 (2) 该地段设有450平方米GFA零售上限及1,125个单位的住宅单位上限。 (3) 1H2018新引入地段。 (4) 该地段设有4,000平方米GFA零售上限。 (5) 指详细售地条件预计可供查阅及可提交申请的日期。 (6) 该地段设有116个单位的住宅单位上限。 (7) 该地段设有640个单位的住宅单位上限。 (8) 该地段设有4,500平方米GFA零售上限。 (9) 该地段设有3,000平方米GFA零售上限。 附录2 ------------- 2017年下半年（2H2017）GLS计划进展情况 （截至2017年12月13日） 1. 2017年下半年（2H2017）GLS计划共有16个地段，其中六个列入确认名单，十个列入备用名单。 2. 迄今为止，四个确认名单地段正在招标中，其余两个确认名单地段将于2017年12月下旬推出。 3. 位于Jiak Kim Street、Fourth Avenue及West Coast Vale的备用名单地段已成功触发。Jiak Kim Street及Fourth Avenue地段的招标已于2017年12月8日决标，而West Coast Vale地段将于2018年2月前售出。 4. 因此，2H2017备用名单上仍有七个地段［即六个住宅地段及一个商业地段］，将结转至2018年上半年（1H2018）GLS计划。
