## Featured rationale

Maintaining confirmed supply amid a 39,000-unit pipeline and modest transactions signals a measured stance that may limit near-term oversupply while preserving future housing availability.

## AI summary

The 1H2020 GLS Programme offered sites yielding about 6,490 private homes, including 1,775 Confirmed List units, broadly matching 2H2019's confirmed supply.

## Original article

Release of First Half 2020 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme

1. The Government today announced the first half 2020 (1H2020) Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme, which comprises three Confirmed List sites and eight Reserve List sites. These sites can yield about 6,490 private residential units, 114,000 sqm gross floor area (GFA) of commercial space and 1,070 hotel rooms (see Appendix 1 & Appendix 2).

2. The Confirmed List comprises two private residential sites [including one Executive Condominium (EC) site] and one commercial & residential site which can yield about 1,775 private residential units (including 600 EC units) and 22,000 sqm GFA of commercial space.

3. The Reserve List comprises four private residential sites (including one EC site), three White sites and one hotel site. These sites can yield about 4,715 private residential units (including 595 EC units), 92,000 sqm GFA of commercial space and 1,070 hotel rooms.

Supply of Private Housing

4. The supply of private housing units in the pipeline remains high, at around 39,000 units currently, even though it has declined progressively over the past few quarters[1]. This pipeline supply comprises around 34,000 unsold units from GLS and en-bloc sale sites with planning approval, and an additional 5,000 units from sites that are pending planning approval[2].

5. While the demand for private housing units has increased in the past two quarters, the overall transaction volume has remained modest relative to the period leading up to the introduction of the property market cooling measures in July 2018. Meanwhile, developers’ demand for residential land remains moderate and there continues to be bidding interest for GLS tenders.

6. To continue to cater to the housing needs of the population, the Government has decided to keep the supply of private residential units on the Confirmed List for the 1H2020 GLS Programme broadly similar to that for the 2H2019 GLS Programme[3]. The Government will continue to monitor the property market closely and adjust the supply for future GLS Programmes, as necessary.

Supply of Commercial Space

7. The 22,000 sqm GFA of commercial space on the Confirmed List is mainly from the predominantly residential site at Jalan Anak Bukit with an integrated bus interchange, and will provide amenities for commuters and residents in the area.

8. The 1H2020 Reserve List includes a White site at Woodlands Avenue 2 for a mixed-use development, which is carried over from the 2H2019 Reserve List. This will help to sustain the development momentum of Woodlands Regional Centre as a major commercial node outside the city, in line with the Government’s objective of decentralising employment centres to bring job opportunities closer to homes.

Supply of Hotel Rooms

9. The 1H2020 Reserve List includes two sites at Marina View and River Valley Road, which are carried over from the 2H2019 Reserve List. These sites will provide ample opportunities for developers to initiate additional supply of hotel rooms over and above the current pipeline supply.

[1] There was a supply of around 45,000 private housing units in the pipeline as at end-2018.

[2] These are from awarded GLS and en-bloc sale sites, as well as Confirmed List GLS sites that have not been awarded yet, as at 3Q2019.

[3] 1,715 private residential units were made available via the Confirmed List of the 2H2019 GLS Programme.

(1) The estimated number of residential units for Executive Condominium sites and sites in Central Area take into account the average unit sizes of recent comparable developments. The Development Control guidelines issued on 17 Oct 2018 for the maximum allowable number of residential units are used to estimate the yield of residential units for sites in Outside Central Area. The estimated number of hotel rooms for some sites have been adjusted based on revised site areas. 
(2) New sites introduced in 1H2020.
(3) Sites are imposed with a retail cap of 2,000 sqm GFA. 
(4) A mixed-use development with integrated bus interchange (estimated 5,000 sqm GFA) and retail cap of 7,500 sqm GFA. 
(5) Site is imposed with a retail cap of 33,000 sqm GFA and a minimum office quantum of 45,000 sqm GFA.
(6) This is a Master Developer site with a total GFA of 390,000 sqm to be completed in phases over an estimated 11 to 13 years. The residential units for the site will be capped at 4,000 units and the non-residential GFA is capped at 50,000 sqm (including a retail cap of 10,000 sqm GFA). The estimation of 1,000 residential units and 10,000 sqm GFA of commercial space is based on the respective quanta expected to kick-start Phase 1 of the development and build up critical mass for this car-lite precinct.
(7) Refers to estimated date the detailed conditions of sale will be available and applications can be submitted.

### 公布2020年上半年政府土地售卖（GLS）计划

公布2020年上半年政府土地售卖（GLS）计划

1. 政府今日公布2020年上半年（1H2020）政府土地售卖（GLS）计划，包括三幅确认名单地段及八幅储备名单地段。这些地段可提供约6,490个私人住宅单位、114,000平方米商业空间总楼面面积（GFA），以及1,070间酒店客房（见附录1及附录2）。

2. 确认名单包括两幅私人住宅地段[其中一幅为执行共管公寓（EC）地段]及一幅商业与住宅地段，可提供约1,775个私人住宅单位（包括600个EC单位）及22,000平方米商业空间GFA。

3. 储备名单包括四幅私人住宅地段（其中一幅为EC地段）、三幅白色地段及一幅酒店地段。这些地段可提供约4,715个私人住宅单位（包括595个EC单位）、92,000平方米商业空间GFA及1,070间酒店客房。

私人住宅供应

4. 在建及待售的私人住宅单位供应量仍然偏高，目前约为39,000个单位，尽管过去几个季度已逐步下降[1]。该在建供应量包括约34,000个已获规划批准的GLS及集体出售地段未售单位，以及另外5,000个来自尚待规划批准地段的单位[2]。

5. 尽管过去两个季度私人住宅单位需求有所增加，但整体成交量相对于2018年7月房地产市场降温措施出台前的时期仍属温和。与此同时，发展商对住宅用地的需求保持适中，GLS投标仍有竞标兴趣。

6. 为持续满足人口的住房需求，政府决定将1H2020 GLS计划确认名单上的私人住宅单位供应量，大致维持在与2H2019 GLS计划相近的水平[3]。政府将继续密切监察房地产市场，并在必要时调整未来GLS计划的供应量。

商业空间供应

7. 确认名单上22,000平方米商业空间GFA，主要来自Jalan Anak Bukit以住宅为主、并设有综合巴士转换站的地段，将为该区通勤者及居民提供配套设施。

8. 1H2020储备名单包括一幅位于Woodlands Avenue 2的混合用途发展白色地段，该地段从2H2019储备名单结转。这将有助于维持兀兰区域中心作为市区以外主要商业节点的发展势头，符合政府将就业中心分散化、使就业机会更接近居所的目标。

酒店客房供应

9. 1H2020储备名单包括位于Marina View及River Valley Road的两幅地段，均从2H2019储备名单结转。这些地段将为发展商提供充足机会，在现有在建供应量之上额外启动酒店客房供应。

[1] 截至2018年底，在建私人住宅单位供应量约为45,000个。

[2] 这些来自已中标的GLS及集体出售地段，以及截至2019年第三季尚未中标的确认名单GLS地段。

[3] 2H2019 GLS计划确认名单提供了1,715个私人住宅单位。
