2H2026 Singapore New Launch Preview: 10 Major Projects, 3,608 Homes Coming to Market

In the second half of 2026 (2H2026), Singapore's residential market is poised to welcome a fresh wave of supply.

A total of 9 private residential projects are slated for launch, offering 3,188 private homes; in addition, 1 Executive Condominium (EC) project will hit the market, adding another 420 units.

In other words, a total of 10 new residential projects are expected to launch in 2H2026, bringing the total supply to 3,608 residential units.

Spread across different regions of Singapore, these developments span the Core Central Region (CCR), Rest of Central Region (RCR), and Outside Central Region (OCR), catering to the diverse needs of different buyer segments.

This article provides an early look at these upcoming new launches over the coming months, highlighting each project's unique features and investment appeal.

CCR Supply Remains Limited: Mature Prime Locations Stand Out

In 2H2026, the Core Central Region (CCR) is expected to launch just 4 private residential projects, yielding 748 units—or roughly 21% of total private home supply.

While CCR supply remains tight, these projects are located in mature, highly sought-after prime districts. For buyers seeking a downtown address with superb lifestyle convenience and long-term capital preservation, these launches hold significant appeal.

Dunearn House (360 units)

Located in the upcoming Bukit Timah Turf City master plan precinct, the project is just minutes' walk from Sixth Avenue MRT station on the Downtown Line.

As the first private residential launch within the Turf City redevelopment, Dunearn House enjoys a clear first-mover advantage.

As the wider precinct undergoes progressive transformation, early buyers stand to benefit from long-term capital appreciation and value accretion as the new community matures over time.

The Serra Residences (133 units)

The Serra Residences is a freehold residential development situated in the CCR.

Featuring freehold tenure and a boutique scale of just 133 units, the project offers exceptional privacy and rarity, making it an attractive proposition for buyers looking for long-term wealth preservation or legacy asset planning.

Located close to Novena MRT, the project is surrounded by comprehensive amenities, including Square 2, Velocity @ Novena Square, and United Square.

Residents will enjoy easy access to a rich array of dining options, supermarkets, banking services, and healthcare facilities right at their doorstep.

For families with school-going children, top educational institutions in the vicinity include:

St. Joseph's Institution Junior

Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)

CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

Farrer Park Primary School

Amberwood At Holland (230 units)

Nestled along Holland Link in prime District 10, Amberwood At Holland is set within a mature residential enclave dominated by low-density landed homes and lush greenery.

Amid limited CCR supply in 2H2026, this development is well-positioned to attract buyers looking for a prime address coupled with a tranquil, exclusive living environment.

The project is approximately 1 km from King Albert Park MRT station (Downtown Line).

Additionally, it sits close to the prestigious Bukit Timah education belt, with nearby schools including:

Henry Park Primary School

Methodist Girls' School

Nanyang Girls' High School

Hwa Chong Institution

National Junior College

This offers a distinct advantage for families prioritising proximity to elite educational institutions.

One Leonie Residences (25 units)

Perched on Leonie Hill in prime District 9, One Leonie Residences offers an exclusive collection of just 25 freehold homes.

As an ultra-luxury boutique development, its freehold status and ultra-low-density setting cater to high-net-worth buyers seeking privacy, rarity, and long-term wealth preservation, all while enjoying the convenience of a prime city-centre address.

RCR City Fringe Continues to Command Strong Market Interest

In 2H2026, the Rest of Central Region (RCR) is projected to roll out 1,352 homes—representing around 37% of the total pipeline and making it the region with the largest supply.

For many homebuyers, the RCR has long been the sweet spot balancing lifestyle quality and city accessibility.

Offering swift connectivity to the Central Business District (CBD) without the hustle and bustle of the commercial core, alongside mature amenities and established transport links, RCR projects continue to see resilient demand.

Thomson Reserve (1,268 units)

Thomson Reserve is slated to be the largest private residential launch in 2H2026, delivering 1,268 units.

Mega-developments typically feature a wider variety of unit layouts, extensive condo facilities, and self-contained lifestyle amenities, making them especially popular among family buyers and HDB upgraders.

The project enjoys close proximity to:

Upper Thomson MRT

Thomson Plaza

MacRitchie Reservoir

Windsor Nature Park

Its proximity to the popular Ai Tong School adds further draw for family buyers.

The Island Residence (84 units)

Set on Keppel Island, The Island Residence is an ultra-exclusive, low-density waterfront development.

The project is tailored for discerning high-end buyers who value ultimate privacy, rarity, and an authentic waterfront lifestyle.

At the same time, it provides easy access to HarbourFront MRT and VivoCity.

Moving forward, the development is poised to benefit from broader urban rejuvenation under the Greater Southern Waterfront transformation.

OCR Suburbs Continue to Capture HDB Upgrader Demand

In 2H2026, the Outside Central Region (OCR) is projected to release 1,088 private homes, accounting for roughly 30% of total new launch supply.

The OCR segment remains the mainstay for owner-occupiers and HDB upgraders.

Compared to central regions, the OCR generally offers:

More established residential enclaves

Well-rounded daily amenities

A relatively more accessible entry price point

These factors ensure steady, resilient buying interest.

Lentor Gardens Residences (502 units)

In recent years, Lentor has steadily transformed into a modern, master-planned private residential precinct.

Anchored by Lentor MRT station (Thomson-East Coast Line) and centred around Hillock Park as a green community spine, the neighbourhood continues to see its living environment elevated.

The opening of the Lentor Modern mall earlier this year has further enhanced local retail and lifestyle convenience.

As more sheltered walkways, retail shops, F&B outlets, and community amenities are completed, future residents of Lentor Gardens Residences will enjoy seamless connectivity and daily convenience.

Lucerne Grand (575 units)

Situated right beside Lakeside MRT station, Lucerne Grand holds strong appeal for buyers looking to settle in the West of Singapore.

The development is located in the Jurong Lake District (JLD), earmarked as Singapore's second CBD.

The precinct will evolve into a dynamic hub integrating commercial offices, residences, and leisure attractions.

Residents will live close to Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, and Jurong Lake.

On the educational front, primary schools within 1 km include:

Boon Lay Garden Primary School

Rulang Primary School

Shuqun Primary School

Fuhua Primary School

Lakeside Primary School

This rich selection of reputable primary schools significantly enhances its appeal among young families.

Under Revised EC Rules, Buyer Demand May Evolve

Executive Condominiums (ECs) have long served as a key stepping stone for HDB upgraders transitioning into the private residential market.

Compared to standard private condominiums, ECs typically come with more competitive entry prices, ensuring consistent buyer interest.

However, amid recent policy adjustments governing ECs, some buyers may re-evaluate their financial planning, which could lead to shifts in market dynamics.

Woodlands Drive 17 GLS EC (420 units)

The Woodlands Drive 17 GLS site is expected to be the sole EC project launching in 2H2026, delivering 420 homes.

Situated just a short walk from Woodlands South MRT station (Thomson-East Coast Line), residents will enjoy direct, seamless connectivity to Orchard and the CBD.

Additionally, the site is just one MRT stop away from the rapidly expanding Woodlands Regional Centre.

The regional centre will progressively introduce new office buildings, retail malls, recreational facilities, and commercial spaces, further elevating local liveability.

Nearby schools include:

Innova Primary School

Woodlands Ring Primary School

Christ Church Secondary School

Woodgrove Secondary School

Singapore Sports School

Note that the Singapore Sports School is slated to relocate to Kallang in the future as part of the wider "Kallang Alive" master plan.

2H2026 Launches Offer Diverse Choices for Buyers

With 10 new residential projects slated for launch in 2H2026—comprising 9 private condominiums and 1 EC—the market will provide a comprehensive selection across various price points and buyer profiles.
