## Featured rationale

The reduced confirmed supply reflects falling transactions, moderated developer land demand and a 44,000-unit pipeline, potentially limiting near-term additions while existing inventory is absorbed.

## AI summary

The 2H2019 GLS Programme offered sites yielding about 6,430 private homes, but Confirmed List supply fell to 1,715 units from 2,025 in 1H2019.

## Original article

Release of Second Half 2019 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme

1. The Government today announced the second half 2019 (2H2019) Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme, which comprises five Confirmed List sites and eight Reserve List sites. These sites can yield about 6,430 private residential units, 92,000 sqm gross floor area (GFA) of commercial space and 1,100 hotel rooms (see Appendices 1 & 2).

2. The five Confirmed List sites are private residential sites [including one Executive Condominium (EC) site] which can yield about 1,715 private residential units (including 480 EC units).

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 and an estimated 1,000 units from the first phase of the Kampong Bugis site), 92,000 sqm GFA of commercial space and 1,100 hotel rooms.

Supply of Private Housing

4. There is a large supply of around 44,000 private housing units in the pipeline. This comprises around 39,000 unsold units from GLS and en-bloc sale sites with planning approval, and an additional 5,000 units[1] from sites that are pending planning approval. In addition, there are around 24,000 existing private housing units that remain vacant.

5. In contrast, demand has continued to fall since the introduction of the property market cooling measures in July 2018. Overall transaction volume declined for the third straight quarter in 1Q2019, while developers’ demand for land has also moderated.

6. Given these factors, the Government has decided to reduce the supply of private residential units on the Confirmed List for the GLS Programme[2]. Together with the supply in the pipeline, the supply for the 2H2019 GLS Programme will sufficiently cater to the housing needs of our population.

7. The Government will continue to monitor the property market closely and adjust the supply from future GLS Programmes, as necessary.

Master Developer Approach for Kampong Bugis Site

8. URA first unveiled the plans for the White site at Kampong Bugis in the 2017 exhibition titled “Our Neighbourhoods: A Look into the Future” to seek feedback from the community. With a sizeable land area, the Kampong Bugis site is strategically located at the mouth of Kallang River with 1.1 km of water frontage.

9. Envisioned to be an attractive waterfront residential precinct that is car-lite, community-centric and sustainable, the site will be released under the 2H2019 Reserve List for sale to a Master Developer. The intention is for a single developer to comprehensively master plan the site, and implement district-wide urban solutions (e.g. district-wide pneumatic waste conveyance system and a storm water treatment and water management system) for a smarter, greener and more sustainable housing typology.

10. With a potential yield of 4,000 private residential units and an additional 50,000 sqm for complementary uses such as retail, offices, community uses, serviced apartments and sports and recreational facilities, the entire Kampong Bugis precinct is estimated to be completed over 9 to 11 years.

Supply of Commercial Space

11. Other than the White site at Kampong Bugis, the 2H2019 Reserve List will have another White site at Woodlands Avenue 2 for a mixed-use development. 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 bringing job opportunities closer to homes.

Supply of Hotel Rooms

12. A new hotel site at River Valley Road will be added to the 2H2019 Reserve List. The future hotel development will be integrated with the Fort Canning MRT station, and is located within close walking distance to Clarke Quay and Fort Canning Park. Together with the existing White site at Marina View, which has been carried over from the 1H2019 GLS Programme, they will provide ample opportunities for developers to initiate additional supply of hotel rooms over and above the current pipeline supply.

[1] 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 1Q2019.

[2] 2,025 private residential units were made available via the Confirmed List of the 1H2019 GLS Programme.

Status of the GLS Programme for the First Half of 2019 (1H2019)

(as at 6 June 2019)

1. The first half of 2019 (1H2019) GLS Programme comprised 14 sites, of which five are on the Confirmed List and nine are on the Reserve List.

2. To date, four sites on the Confirmed List have been launched for tender and the remaining site at one-north Gateway will be launched for tender in Jun 2019. The tenders for these sites will close progressively from Jul to Sep 2019.

3. The Reserve List site at Sims Avenue has been removed from 1H2019 Reserve List to facilitate a review of development plans in the area. The Reserve List site at Canberra Drive will be re-parcelled into two smaller parcels for design variety in a low rise residential estate.

4. As a result, a total of seven[1] residential sites and two White sites remain on the 1H2019 Reserve List, and will be carried over to the second half 2019 (2H2019) GLS Programme.

[1] This includes the Canberra Drive site which will be re-parcelled into two smaller sites.

### 公布2019年下半年政府售地（GLS）计划

公布2019年下半年政府售地（GLS）计划

1. 政府今日公布2019年下半年（2H2019）政府售地（GLS）计划，包括五个确认名单地段及八个备用名单地段。这些地段可供应约6,430个私人住宅单位、92,000平方米商业总楼面面积（GFA）及1,100间酒店客房（见附录1及2）。

2. 五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］，可供应约1,715个私人住宅单位（包括480个EC单位）。

3. 备用名单包括四个私人住宅地段（包括一个EC地段）、三个白色地段及一个酒店地段。这些地段可供应约4,715个私人住宅单位（包括595个EC单位，以及甘榜武吉士地段第一阶段估计1,000个单位）、92,000平方米商业总楼面面积及1,100间酒店客房。

私人住宅供应

4. 在建或待建的私人住宅单位供应充足，约有44,000个。其中包括约39,000个来自已获规划批准的政府售地及集体出售（en-bloc）地段的未售单位，以及另外5,000个单位[1]来自尚待规划批准的地段。此外，现有私人住宅单位中约有24,000个仍空置。

5. 相比之下，自2018年7月推出房地产市场降温措施以来，需求持续下降。2019年第一季整体成交量连续第三个季度下滑，发展商对土地的需求亦有所缓和。

6. 鉴于上述因素，政府已决定减少政府售地计划确认名单上的私人住宅单位供应[2]。连同在建或待建供应，2019年下半年政府售地计划的供应将足以满足我国人口的住房需求。

7. 政府将继续密切监察房地产市场，并在必要时调整未来政府售地计划的供应。

甘榜武吉士地段的总发展商模式

8. 市区重建局（URA）首先在2017年题为“我们的邻里：展望未来”的展览中公布甘榜武吉士白色地段的规划，以征求社区反馈。该地段土地面积可观，战略位置位于加冷河口，拥有1.1公里滨水临界面。

9. 该地段被构想为具吸引力的滨水住宅区，低碳出行、以社区为中心且可持续，将在2019年下半年备用名单下推出，供总发展商竞标。用意是由单一发展商对地段进行全面总体规划，并落实全区城市解决方案（例如全区气动垃圾输送系统以及雨水处理与水管理系统），以打造更智能、更绿色、更可持续的住宅类型。

10. 甘榜武吉士整个区域潜在可供应4,000个私人住宅单位，另加50,000平方米作配套用途，例如零售、办公室、社区用途、服务式公寓及康体设施，估计整个区域将在9至11年内完成。

商业空间供应

11. 除甘榜武吉士的白色地段外，2019年下半年备用名单还将有另一位于兀兰大道2号的白色地段，用作综合发展。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，符合政府将就业机会带到住家附近的目标。

酒店客房供应

12. 位于河谷路的新酒店地段将加入2019年下半年备用名单。未来的酒店发展将与福康宁地铁站整合，并位于可步行至克拉码头及福康宁公园的近距离范围内。连同从2019年上半年政府售地计划结转的滨海景现有白色地段，它们将为发展商提供充足机会，在当前在建或待建供应之外启动额外酒店客房供应。

[1] 这些来自已批出的政府售地及集体出售地段，以及截至2019年第一季尚未批出的确认名单政府售地地段。

[2] 2019年上半年政府售地计划确认名单提供了2,025个私人住宅单位。

2019年上半年（1H2019）政府售地计划状况

（截至2019年6月6日）

1. 2019年上半年（1H2019）政府售地计划共有14个地段，其中五个列入确认名单，九个列入备用名单。

2. 迄今，确认名单中的四个地段已推出招标，余下位于one-north Gateway的地段将于2019年6月推出招标。这些地段的投标将于2019年7月至9月陆续截止。

3. 位于沈氏大道的备用名单地段已从2019年上半年备用名单中移除，以便检讨该区的发展计划。位于坎贝拉道的备用名单地段将重新划分为两个较小地块，以在低层住宅区内增加设计多样性。

4. 因此，2019年上半年备用名单上仍有共七个[1]住宅地段及两个白色地段，并将结转至2019年下半年（2H2019）政府售地计划。

[1] 这包括将重新划分为两个较小地段的坎贝拉道地段。
