A total of 8,505 units will be made available, up from 8,140 units in the second half of 2024.

The confirmed list supply for the first half of 2025 will raise the total supply of private housing, including executive condominiums (ECs), to about 57,200 units.

This is expected to meet the housing needs of the population over the next few years, said the Ministry of National Development (MND) on Dec 6.

There will be 10 confirmed list sites and nine reserve list sites.

Besides the sites at the former Keppel Golf Course and Bukit Timah Turf City, the others are in Lakeside Drive, Chuan Grove, Upper Thomson Road, Dorset Road and Hougang Central.

The three EC sites are in Senja Close, Woodlands Drive 17 and Sembawang Road.

The confirmed list sites will yield approximately 5,030 private residential units, including 980 EC units, and 43,000 sq m of gross floor area (GFA) for commercial use.

The reserve list, which allows developers to start development based on market demand, will contribute an additional 3,475 residential units, 199,900 sq m of commercial GFA and 530 hotel rooms.

Four private residential sites, one commercial site, three white sites and one hotel site are included on the reserve list.

White sites are areas where a range of uses is allowed, such as a combination of commercial, hotel, residential, sports and recreational spaces.

The Government Land Sales (GLS) programme includes a mix of residential, commercial and hotel developments aimed at meeting housing demand and maintaining market stability.
