URA’s 2H2026 Government Land Sales Programme keeps housing supply steady at 4,745 Confirmed-List units — but the real signals sit in the commercial and white sites. Released on 3 June 2026, the slate carries a potential 9,200 private residential units, 970 hotel rooms and 188,100 sqm of commercial gross floor area across the Confirmed and Reserve Lists. The headline move: the Jurong Lake District anchor parcel at Town Hall Link has been promoted from the Reserve List onto the Confirmed List, launching July 2026.

Supply: residential steady, committed commercial jumps

The Confirmed List — sites that go to tender on a fixed schedule regardless of demand — holds nine sites yielding 4,745 residential units plus 83,350 sqm of commercial space. The Reserve List, where a site triggers only when a developer commits an acceptable minimum bid, carries 4,455 residential units, all 970 hotel rooms, and 104,750 sqm of commercial space across thirteen sites.

On housing, the headline reads as continuity: the 4,745 Confirmed-List units are a slight uptick from 1H2026’s 4,575 and effectively flat against 2H2025’s 4,725 — extending the government’s run of steady, sustained releases rather than opening the taps. Committed commercial supply, though, jumps sharply: the Confirmed List now carries 83,350 sqm of commercial GFA against just 22,500 sqm in 1H2026 — and almost the entire increase is a single site, Town Hall Link, whose 83,200 sqm commercial component was promoted onto the Confirmed List.

The structural read sits in the white sites

White sites carry flexible zoning — the developer chooses the mix of office, retail, hotel, residential and other uses within stipulated floors and caps — making them the clearest read on where the state wants concentrated, mixed-use density. There are three in this programme, and the most important just changed lists.

Town Hall Link (Confirmed List, launch July 2026) is the JLD anchor: 3.72ha at a 5.0 plot ratio, yielding about 1,200 residential units alongside 83,200 sqm of commercial space, with a mandated minimum office quantum of 40,000 sqm GFA and a residential cap of 102,000 sqm GFA. In the 1H2026 programme this parcel sat on the Reserve List; promoting it to Confirmed means the JLD second-CBD build-out no longer waits for a developer to trigger it. Carved down from the much larger JLD master-developer site, the smaller parcel lowers the capital and execution risk that kept the original untriggered, and the mandated office floor signals the government wants genuine commercial weight in Jurong, not a residential project wearing a white-site label.

The other two white sites stay on the Reserve List but define the decentralised-office thesis. Woodlands Avenue 2 (2.75ha, GPR 4.2) is the Woodlands Regional Centre play — 440 residential units but 78,000 sqm of commercial space with a minimum office quantum of 45,000 sqm GFA, larger than Town Hall Link’s, making it the heaviest pure-office bet on the list. Marina Gardens Crescent (1.73ha, GPR 4.2) is the more residential-led Marina Bay precinct site — 775 units with a 6,000 sqm retail cap.

The commercial site, and a serviced-apartment thread

Punggol Walk (Reserve, 1.00ha, GPR 1.4) is the lone dedicated commercial site: no residential, 13,350 sqm of commercial GFA with a minimum office quantum of 8,400 sqm, plus childcare. Running quietly beneath several sites is the long-stay serviced-apartment (SA) category: Cross Street and both Media Circle parcels are stipulated as predominantly long-stay SA, and Telok Ayer Street carries a minimum long-stay SA quantum of 6,200 sqm GFA — four sites nudging into a relatively new housing-format category.

Hotels return

Two hotel sites — River Valley Road (530 rooms) and Telok Ayer Street (440 rooms) — account for all 970 hotel rooms in the programme, both on the Reserve List, a measured nod to tourism-capacity recovery left demand-gated rather than forced.
