9 Major New Launches Coming in 2H! Over 3,000 Units Hitting the Market—Which Projects Are Worth Watching?

As we enter the second half of 2026, Singapore's private residential market is set to welcome a fresh wave of new supply.

A total of nine new private residential projects are slated for launch in 2H 2026, collectively offering over 3,000 residential units. While macroeconomic uncertainties persist globally, market consensus remains that Singapore’s property fundamentals stay resilient. Coupled with relatively low interest rates, the new launch market is expected to remain buoyant.

First to Launch in July: Dunearn House and Lentor Gardens Residences

First out of the gate to meet buyers will be Dunearn House in Bukit Timah and Lentor Gardens Residences in the Lentor enclave.

Jointly developed by Frasers Property, CSC Land Group, and Sekisui House, the 380-unit Dunearn House boasts the prime advantage of being situated in the mature residential enclave of Bukit Timah. Renowned for its proximity to top educational institutions, it holds strong appeal for family-oriented buyers.

Meanwhile, Lentor Gardens Residences will offer 502 units, marking the seventh residential project launched in Lentor since 2022. As a well-rounded residential community takes shape around Lentor MRT station, bolstered by excellent transport connectivity and expanding amenities, the precinct continues to draw keen interest from first-time buyers and upgraders alike.

Many analysts believe both projects benefit significantly from MRT proximity and well-established surroundings, positioning them among the most anticipated new launches in Q3 this year.

Thomson Reserve: The Most Anticipated Mega Launch in 2H

If there is one new launch that the market is watching most closely in the second half of the year, Thomson Reserve is undeniably at the top of the list.

Yielding up to 1,240 units, it stands as one of the largest residential developments launched this year. Formerly Thomson View—which successfully completed its collective sale in 2024—the mega project is jointly developed by UOL Group, Singapore Land Group (SingLand), and CapitaLand Development.

Given the relatively tight supply of new Rest of Central Region (RCR) launches in the first half of the year, significant pent-up demand has built up. Industry observers broadly anticipate that Thomson Reserve could emerge as one of the hottest new launches of the year.

Prime District Offerings Also in the Spotlight

Beyond mega-developments, two other highly anticipated projects in sought-after locations are also slated for the second half of the year.

Located in Holland Plain, Amberwood at Holland offers exceptional convenience with quick access to Orchard Road and the one-north tech hub, making it an enticing choice for both investors and owner-occupiers.

On the other hand, Lucerne Grand in the Jurong Lake District (JLD) is equally eye-catching. Situated close to Lakeside MRT station and primed to benefit from the broader JLD master plan, alongside comprehensive lifestyle amenities and nearby schools, it is widely regarded as a flagship residential development in the West.

Why Analysts Remain Optimistic About 2H Property Market

Despite ongoing global macroeconomic headwinds, Singapore's broader economy continues to demonstrate resilience.

In Q1 this year, Singapore’s GDP expanded by 6% year-on-year, while mortgage rates have hovered at relatively low levels compared to recent peaks, lending steady support to the real estate market.

Furthermore, total new private home supply this year remains tighter than last year, meaning buyers face a curated selection where well-located, quality developments can easily command strong interest.

Analysts generally agree that current demand is predominantly underpinned by first-time home buyers, HDB upgraders, and long-term investors.

The projects most likely to outperform typically share several key attributes: proximity to MRT stations for seamless connectivity, mature neighbourhood amenities, access to reputable schools, competitive pricing, and strategic locations within master-planned growth zones.

Market Outlook

While supply is poised to pick up in the second half of the year, overall new launch inventory remains moderate by historical standards.

For buyers gearing up to enter the market, 2H 2026 will undoubtedly present more choices. Against the backdrop of restrained supply, competitive interest rates, and enduring appetite for prime locations, well-positioned new projects are expected to deliver robust sales performance.

If you are planning to buy a new private property in Singapore in 2026, now is an opportune time to study upcoming projects, compare precincts, and plan your finances ahead.
