GLS Tender Results: Bayshore Road Site Attracts Strong Developer Interest
Property Insight

Sing-Haiyi Garnet Pte. Ltd. secured the Bayshore Road residential site with a top bid of $658.9 million ($1,388 psf ppr), narrowly surpassing Sing Holdings Residential Pte. Ltd. by 0.8%. The tender attracted eight bidders, reflecting strong developer interest in this well-located site.

This marks the highest number of bidders for a non-EC GLS site since Jalan Tembusu in 2022, underscoring the continued demand for well-located private residential plots. The Bayshore precinct is undergoing major transformation, presenting an opportunity for developers to establish an early foothold in a future waterfront district.

The site’s strategic location enhances its appeal. It is close to Temasek Junior College, Temasek Secondary School, and the upcoming Bayshore MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. Connectivity is further strengthened by the East Coast Parkway (ECP), providing easy access to the CBD and Changi Airport.

This land parcel is the first private residential site launched in the Bayshore neighbourhood, an area envisioned as a dynamic residential and community hub. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) plans to integrate development with green spaces, places of worship, sports and recreational facilities, and educational institutions, fostering a holistic living environment.

The precinct's long-term potential likely contributed to the keen competition, with developers leveraging the First-Mover Advantage to set a benchmark for future developments. The Bayshore transformation began in October 2024 with the launch of two Build-To-Order (BTO) projects. This signals the evolution of Bayshore into a vibrant, well-integrated residential enclave with a blend of coastal living and urban convenience.

The site's proximity to a prestigious landed housing enclave provides an opportunity to attract potential upgraders. Homeowners in these exclusive estates may transition to new condominiums offering modern facilities, enhanced security, and a low-maintenance lifestyle. Additionally, a mature residential catchment could encourage existing homeowners to downsize or invest, further supporting demand.

Overall, this GLS tender reinforces Bayshore’s potential as a desirable residential district, offering connectivity, urban transformation, and investment potential. The strong bidding interest reflects developers’ confidence in the area's long-term value.

Singapore Rental Property Market 1H2026: Stable Growth Amid Resilient Leasing Demand

Singapore’s residential rental market remained resilient in the first half of 2026, with the overall private residential rental index rising by 1.0%, following the 1.2% increase recorded in 1H2025. The measured increase points towards a more balanced and sustainable rental environment, as the market continues to absorb the wave of private housing completions delivered over the past two years. Leasing demand remains supported by Singapore’s resilient labour market, continued inflow of expatriate professionals and stable economic conditions. 

Leasing demand was also well distributed across individual developments. Normanton Park emerged as the most actively leased RCR project with an estimated 426 transactions, while Treasure at Tampines led the OCR with 301 transactions. Within the CCR, Marina One Residences recorded 289 transactions, ahead of The Sail @ Marina Bay and The M. These trends highlight tenant preferences for accessibility, proximity to employment centres, lifestyle amenities and value for money. 

Looking ahead, Singapore’s residential rental market is expected to remain broadly stable through the second half of 2026, with rental growth likely to stay measured. Approximately 5,012 private residential units are scheduled for completion over the remainder of 2026, expanding rental inventory and providing tenants with greater choice. The HDB market should also benefit from an expanding supply of flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period, with around 18,000 flats expected to reach MOP in 2027 and approximately 21,000 in 2028. Overall, healthy underlying demand and increasing housing supply are expected to support a more balanced rental environment characterised by greater tenant choice, improved affordability and moderate rental growth.

New Upper Changi Road GLS Tender Sets New OCR Land Benchmark

The New Upper Changi Road Government Land Sales (GLS) site attracted an exceptionally strong top bid of approximately $1.43 billion, or $1,537 psf ppr, from United Venture Development (Daisy) Pte. Ltd. and CL Sapphire Pte. Ltd., a joint venture between UOL and CapitaLand. The result represents a new record land bid for an Outside Central Region (OCR) residential parcel in recent memory, particularly notable given the site's substantial scale and capital commitment. 

A key factor supporting the tender outcome is the relative scarcity of major new private residential projects around Bedok MRT. Sky Eden@Bedok, comprising 158 units, was launched in 2022 and sold more than 75% of its units during its launch weekend before achieving a complete sell-out by 2024. With no comparable major project launched in the immediate Bedok MRT vicinity since then, the eventual New Upper Changi Road development could tap into a refreshed pool of demand. 

The site is expected to yield approximately 1,010 residential units, placing it firmly within the mega-development category. Its proximity to Bedok MRT station, Bedok Bus Interchange and Bedok Mall, together with the established schools, retail, food and healthcare amenities within the mature Bedok estate, should broaden its appeal to owner-occupiers, investors and particularly HDB upgraders from Bedok and the wider East region. The location map on page 2 further illustrates the site's immediate proximity to Bedok's established transport and amenity network.
