Peck Hay Road GLS Draws Top Bid of $1,865 psf ppr from CDL and Hong Leong Group
Property Insight

Peck Hay Road Government Land Sales GLS site attracted four bids at the close of its tender on 11 June 2026, with the highest offer submitted by CDL Constellation Pte. Ltd. and Garden Estates (Pte.) Limited (Hong Leong Group) at $542.4 million, translating to a land rate of $1,865 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr). The winning bid reflects strong confidence in the long term prospects of the Newton area despite a relatively lower number of participants compared to the neighbouring Bukit Timah Road GLS site, which attracted eight bids earlier this year. 

Despite fewer bidders, bidding intensity remained healthy. The top bid exceeded the $1,820 psf ppr achieved for the nearby Bukit Timah Road site awarded earlier this year, highlighting continued confidence in well located Core Central Region developments. This suggests that developers remain willing to compete aggressively for prime sites with strong fundamentals, particularly those located within established residential districts and supported by future transformation plans. 

The Peck Hay Road site enjoys several locational advantages. Situated within the Newton Planning Area, the site is expected to yield approximately 315 residential units and is located near Newton MRT Interchange, providing direct access to both the North South Line and Downtown Line. Residents will benefit from excellent connectivity, including being just one MRT stop from Orchard Road and only minutes away from the Central Business District. These attributes enhance the site's appeal among owner occupiers, investors and affluent homebuyers seeking a central location.

Commentary on Latest Annoucements

Singapore’s latest housing measures represent a calibrated easing of selected market constraints while retaining safeguards against speculative demand, affordability pressures and delayed project delivery. The two key changes are the removal of the 15-month wait-out period for certain HDB resale buyers and longer Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty redevelopment timelines for qualifying large and mega en bloc sites. 

With immediate effect, private residential property owners and former owners may purchase a non-subsidised HDB resale flat without waiting 15 months, provided they do not use an HDB housing loan. Eligible buyers must still obtain an HDB Flat Eligibility letter and dispose of any private property in Singapore or overseas within six months of completing the resale-flat purchase. The 30-month wait-out period remains applicable to subsidised HDB flats, executive condominiums purchased from developers and buyers using an HDB housing loan.

The easing restores housing mobility for genuine owner-occupier right-sizers and households undergoing retirement, employment changes, divorce or financial pressure. It removes the need for an extended temporary accommodation period while preserving important eligibility and financing controls.

The policy change comes as HDB resale price momentum has moderated. Resale prices declined by 0.4% in the first half of 2026, the first first-half contraction since 2019. Larger-flat resale volumes have also eased from recent peaks. This suggests that the market has become more balanced following pandemic-era price gains, successive cooling measures and an expansion in housing supply.

The second measure provides longer redevelopment and sales periods for qualifying en bloc sites acquired from 29 July 2026. Large sites with 700 to 1,399 units will receive six years to complete and sell their projects, while mega sites with at least 1,400 units will receive seven years. Mega projects must still sell at least 50% of their units by the end of Year 6, while the 2.5-year construction commencement deadline remains unchanged.

2Q2026 Singapore Residential Market Report: Resilient Demand Despite Global Uncertainty

Singapore's private residential market remained resilient in 2Q2026, supported by healthy buyer demand despite a gradual moderation in price growth. New home sales (excluding Executive Condominiums) increased to 2,141 units, representing a 6.4% quarter-on-quarter increase from 2,013 units in 1Q2026. The improvement was driven primarily by strong demand within the Outside Central Region (OCR) and Rest of Central Region (RCR), which more than offset slower sales in the Core Central Region (CCR). Well-priced projects such as Tengah Garden Residences, Vela Bay, and Hudson Place Residences attracted strong interest from HDB upgraders and owner-occupiers, reflecting continued preference for city fringe and suburban developments offering better affordability and value. 

The resale private residential market also strengthened during the quarter, with transactions rising from 3,225 units to 3,813 units, representing an 18.2% increase from the previous quarter. Growth was broad-based across all market segments, with the OCR continuing to account for the largest share of resale activity due to its relatively affordable pricing, established residential estates and wider selection of family-oriented housing. The increase in completed developments over recent years has expanded resale supply, providing buyers with greater choice while supporting a more balanced and orderly market. 

Private residential prices continued to increase during the first half of 2026, although growth moderated. Prices rose 1.4% in 1H2026, compared with 1.8% in 1H2025, reflecting a market transitioning towards a more sustainable pace of appreciation. The moderation is attributed to the Government's sustained expansion of housing supply through the Government Land Sales programme and the increasing completion of residential developments, which have widened housing options and reduced upward price pressures. 

Looking ahead, market activity is expected to remain supported by a healthy pipeline of new launches, including Dunearn House, Thomson Reserve, and Lucerne Grand. The successful launch of Lentor Gardens Residences demonstrates that buyer demand remains healthy for well-located and appropriately priced developments. Although global uncertainties, including interest rate expectations, geopolitical tensions and new trade tariffs, may encourage buyers to adopt a more measured approach, Singapore's strong economic fundamentals and transparent regulatory framework are expected to continue supporting market confidence.

Singapore HDB Resale Market Trends 2Q2026: Stable Demand Amid Growing Supply

The HDB resale market remained resilient in 2Q2026, with transaction volumes increasing marginally to 6,396 units, up 1.8% from 6,285 units in 1Q2026. Despite the June 2026 Build-To-Order (BTO) launch of approximately 6,952 flats, including projects in highly sought-after mature estates such as Bishan, Bukit Merah and Ang Mo Kio, resale demand remained broadly stable. This reflects continued underlying demand for resale flats even as buyers are presented with a wider range of public housing options. 

Price movements continued to moderate during the quarter, reinforcing the market's transition towards a healthier and more sustainable phase. The HDB Resale Price Index eased by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter, following the 0.1% moderation recorded in 1Q2026. Cumulatively, resale prices moderated by 0.4% in the first half of 2026, a notable shift from the 2.5% increase registered over the same period in 2025. Rather than indicating weakening demand, the moderation reflects the cumulative impact of expanded public housing supply through larger BTO launches, multiple Sale of Balance Flats exercises, Shorter Waiting Time flats, and an increasing number of flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), giving buyers greater choice across different housing segments. 

Across the resale market, pricing trends have become increasingly measured and differentiated. Median resale prices for most flat types remained broadly stable or moderated slightly, particularly for 3-room, 5-room and Executive flats. Overall, pricing is becoming more reflective of individual flat attributes such as location, age and remaining lease rather than broad market-wide appreciation. 

Looking ahead, the HDB resale market is expected to remain fundamentally resilient as supply continues to expand. Upcoming BTO launches, additional Sale of Balance Flats exercises, Shorter Waiting Time flats and a growing pipeline of MOP flats are expected to further improve housing availability and distribute demand more evenly across BTO and resale segments.
