“With seven sites listed on the Confirmed List, developers are unlikely to start one of these sites listed on the Reserve List in 1H2023,” says the ERA’s Mak. “One reason for this is that developers will be focused on the sites that are on the list that are confirmed. Another reason is that certain developers are more cautious in their plans to acquire land in view of the anticipated slowing growth in the economy by 2023.”

But this site located at Lorong 1. Toa Payoh would be one of the most well-known sites that are on the Reserve List. It is located within the mature Toa Payoh HDB estate, it’s three minutes away from the Braddell MRT station and near facilities like hawker centers community clubs, as well as healthcare clinics. “Over the past couple of years, there’s been no new developments in the estate that is mature Toa Payoh,” says Mak.

The seven sites in Lentor could be transformed into 3,500 private homes later. “Given the large supply of land of land, we believe that this site will not be removed from the Reserve List,” says Tricia Song, director of research at CBRE Southeast Asia.

There’s also a newly created Plantation Close EC site on the Reserve List, which is right next to Tengah Plantation Loop EC site which will be made available to sale on the Confirmed list 2H2022 in the month of December 2022, according to Song. “We think it’s unlikely that it will be activated to sell soon, given the more than 1,000 units that could be sold located on the site together.”

It is located in the Punggol Walk Reserved site is situated close adjacent to Punggol MRT station. The 8,400 sq m (90,418 square feet) commercial site that is leased for a 30 year tenure is available as one of the efforts of the Government to encourage decentralisation as well as to meet need for work spaces near to homes. “The release of sites with shorter leases will allow our land use to be renewed in shorter intervals to assist companies in adjusting their operations more quickly to changes in the economy,” says URA.

In spite of the shorter lease, PropNex CEO Ismail Gafoor expects his Punggol Walk plot “should garner attention due to the dearth of office space commercially available in the vicinity”.
