River Valley Green (Parcel B) Draws Five Bidders
Property Insight

The River Valley Green (Parcel B) Government Land Sales (GLS) site, designated for residential with commercial at the first storey, attracted five bidders. This marks the highest level of participation for a site in the vicinity in recent times, underscoring developers' confidence in its potential.

GuocoLand, through GLL B Pte. Ltd., emerged as the top bidder with a $627.8 million bid, translating to $1,420 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). This exceeded the second-highest offer by 8.9%, reinforcing market optimism for well-located plots. Other bidders included Sing Holdings Residential Pte. Ltd. ($1,303 psf ppr), Sing-Haiyi Garnet Pte. Ltd. ($1,280 psf ppr), Garden Estates (Pte.) Limited ($1,252 psf ppr), and Kingsford Huray Development Pte. Ltd. ($1,251 psf ppr).

The strong interest in this site contrasts with earlier tenders—River Valley Green (Parcel A) had only two bidders, Zion Road (Parcel B) also saw two bidders, while Zion Road (Parcel A) attracted a single bid. This underscores the strategic appeal of River Valley Green (Parcel B), which benefits from excellent connectivity and a desirable residential district near the Singapore River.

Market Context and Demand Trends

Private home sales in the Core Central Region (CCR) in 2024 moderated, with 378 units sold compared to 1,454 units in 2023. The slowdown was largely due to the limited number of new launches earlier in 2024. However, 2025 is expected to see a turnaround, driven by an increase in new project launches. Upcoming developments like Marina View Residences and Aurea are anticipated to reignite buyer interest and provide a diverse range of housing options.

Prime Location and Competitive Positioning

Situated within the River Valley Planning Area, the site is highly coveted due to its proximity to the Singapore River, Robertson Quay, and Great World MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. This location provides seamless access to the Central Business District (CBD), Marina Bay, Orchard Road, and key expressways.

The site’s prime positioning makes it attractive to local and international buyers, particularly with lifestyle and recreational amenities such as Great World City and Robertson Quay's riverside dining and nightlife. Additionally, River Valley Primary School enhances the site’s family appeal.

Price Projections and Market Resilience

The non-landed price index in the CCR saw a 4.5% increase in 2024, up from 1.9% in 2023. 4Q2024 recorded a 2.6% increase, rebounding from a -1.1% dip in 3Q2024. The luxury segment remained resilient, with marginal growth in high-value transactions ($10 million and above), reinforcing demand for prime district properties.

Singapore CCR Luxury Homes See Strong Sales Recovery in 1H2026

Singapore’s luxury residential market in the Core Central Region (CCR) remained resilient during the first half of 2026, although price growth moderated as the market transitioned towards a healthier balance between supply and demand. Based on URA flash estimates, the non-landed private residential price index in the CCR increased by an estimated 2.6% in 1H2026, compared with 3.8% in 1H2025. While capital appreciation eased, the continued increase reflects sustained confidence in Singapore’s prime residential market amid expanding supply and evolving buyer preferences. 

A key development during the period was the significant revival in new project launches. Approximately 701 units were launched in the CCR, representing the strongest half-year launch pipeline since 1H2022 and a sharp increase from just 96 units in 1H2025. This recovery was primarily driven by River Modern and Newport Residences, reflecting the gradual rollout of projects from previously awarded Government Land Sales (GLS) sites and providing buyers with a broader selection of luxury homes. 

The stronger supply translated into a sharp rebound in new home sales. An estimated 761 new homes were sold in 1H2026, more than tripling the 236 units recorded a year earlier and marking the highest sales volume since 1H2023. River Modern led the market with 424 units sold at a median price of $3,229 psf, while Newport Residences achieved 198 sales at a median price of $3,070 psf. Together, these two projects accounted for about 81.7% of all new CCR home sales, highlighting their significant contribution to market recovery. 

Looking ahead, the luxury residential market is expected to remain active in the second half of 2026 with upcoming launches such as Dunearn House, Amberwood at Holland, and The Serra Residences. Supported by a healthy pipeline of new supply, resilient domestic demand, and Singapore’s reputation as a global financial centre and safe-haven destination, the CCR market is expected to maintain stable transaction activity while continuing its transition towards more sustainable long-term growth.

1H2026 Singapore Landed Property Report: Key Trends, Prices and Buyer Insights

Singapore's landed residential market remained resilient during the first half of 2026, supported by limited housing supply, healthy owner-occupier demand and sustained interest from affluent buyers. According to the latest market data, landed property prices recorded a cumulative increase of 2.2% in 1H2026, slightly below the 2.6% growth registered during the same period in 2025. While price appreciation has moderated, the market continues to demonstrate strong underlying fundamentals, with landed homes retaining their appeal as scarce, long-term wealth preservation assets. 

Transaction activity also strengthened during the period, with 1,043 landed homes changing hands, representing a 3.4% year-on-year increase from 1,009 transactions in 1H2025. Terrace houses remained the dominant segment, accounting for 58.2% of all landed transactions, followed by semi-detached houses at 30.1% and detached houses at 11.7%. Detached house sales recorded the strongest growth, rising 25.8% year-on-year, supported by sustained activity within the Good Class Bungalow (GCB) market. 

Looking ahead, Singapore's landed residential market is expected to remain fundamentally resilient throughout the second half of 2026. Structural supply constraints, healthy household balance sheets and sustained owner-occupier demand are expected to continue supporting gradual price appreciation. The upcoming launch of Vila Natura, one of the few new landed developments entering the market, is also expected to generate fresh buyer interest and provide an important indication of pricing appetite for newly built landed homes.

2Q2026 Singapore Property Flash Estimates: Stable Demand & Moderate Prices

Singapore's residential property market continued its transition towards a more balanced and sustainable growth phase in 2Q2026, with both the private residential and HDB resale markets showing signs of moderation driven largely by improving housing supply rather than weakening demand. 

According to the flash estimates, private residential property prices increased by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in 2Q2026, easing from the 0.9% growth recorded in 1Q2026. This brought cumulative price growth for the first half of 2026 to 1.4%, compared with 1.8% during the same period in 2025. The moderation reflects a market returning to a more sustainable trajectory following stronger momentum earlier in the year. Limited new project launches, changes to the Executive Condominium (EC) policy framework, and seasonal factors such as the June school holidays contributed to a slower pace of transactions.

Developers launched an estimated 1,705 private residential units across three projects—Tengah Garden Residences, Vela Bay and Hudson Place Residences—slightly lower than the 1,844 units launched in 1Q2026. Despite the reduced supply, buyer demand remained resilient, with the average launch weekend take-up rate improving from 70.5% to 77.5%. This demonstrates continued demand for well-located and competitively priced developments, particularly among owner-occupiers and HDB upgraders supported by stable employment and healthy household balance sheets.

The HDB resale market also continued to moderate. Flash estimates indicate resale prices declined by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in 2Q2026 following a slight 0.1% decline in 1Q2026, bringing first-half price growth to -0.4%, compared with a 2.5% increase over the same period in 2025. Rather than indicating market weakness, the slower price movement reflects improving supply conditions through continued Build-to-Order (BTO) launches, a growing number of flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), and expanding resale inventory.

The June 2026 BTO exercise introduced approximately 6,952 flats, including substantial supply in mature estates such as Bishan, Bukit Merah and Ang Mo Kio, providing buyers with more attractive alternatives to the resale market. Increased availability of shorter waiting-time flats has further eased demand pressures on resale housing.
