It was mentioned by MND that these sites can yield up to a total of 7,240 new launch residential units and also 272,600 sq metres of commercial space. This is in fact a downward projection as compared to the 7,825 residential homes and 277,580 sq m of commercial spaces planned in the 2H2015 GLS programme.
In the 1H2016 GLS programme, the confirmed sites will include 3 sites zoned for private residential development at Jalan Kandis (located in Sembawang), Martin Place (called Martin Modern, located at River Valley) and also Anchorvale Lane (in the Sengkang precinct).
