Some 4,745 private residential units will be launched on the confirmed list for the next six months. In all, it is up from 4,575 units in the first half of the year, and 4,725 units in the second half of 2025.

The latest figures bring the total government land sales supply on the confirmed list to 9,320 units for 2026. This is 50 per cent above the annual average of 6,100 units over the past decade.

It also means that the total supply of private housing in the pipeline will rise to around 61,000 units from the current 57,000 units. This includes 32,000 units available for sale in the next two years.

The increase in supply will cater to the “resilient demand for private housing”, with additional supply available on the reserve list if developers assess that there is demand, the Ministry of National Development said on June 3.

Reserve list plots are released for sale only if a developer offers a minimum price deemed acceptable to the Government, or there is sufficient market interest.

Comprising nine confirmed list sites and 13 reserve list sites, the 2H2026 Government Land Sales (GLS) programme can yield 9,200 private residential units, 188,100 sq m gross floor area (GFA) of commercial space and 970 hotel rooms.

The confirmed list comprises eight private residential sites and one white site. It can yield 4,745 private residential units including 735 executive condominium (EC) units, and 83,350 sq m GFA of commercial space.

PropNex noted that four of the nine confirmed list sites are located in the city fringe area, and that seven of them are all newly introduced in the land sales programme.
