Over 20 New Launches in the Pipeline as Buying Sentiment Remains Resilient

Singapore's property market is set to welcome an injection of 8,000 new residential units in the second half of this year across multiple market segments, with developers and buyers alike gearing up for the launches.

According to reports, up to 20 new residential projects are expected to roll out progressively in 2H 2025. Spanning the Core Central Region (CCR), Rest of Central Region (RCR), and Outside Central Region (OCR), the pipeline features a diverse mix of branded luxury residences, freehold condominiums, and new Executive Condominium (EC) developments.

Data shows that as of Q1 2025, the total number of unsold uncompleted private residential units islandwide dropped from 20,566 units in Q2 2024 to 18,125 units—a decrease of 11.9%. This downward trend highlights resilient market absorption and a healthier balance between supply and demand.

Core Central Region (CCR): HNWI focus sharpens as ultra-luxury projects make a grand comeback

In the CCR, an estimated 9 new projects are slated for launch in the coming months. These include the highly anticipated 683-unit branded development W Residences Marina View by IOI Group, marking the developer's maiden foray into Singapore's ultra-luxury residential scene. Also commanding considerable interest is Orchard Boulevard Upperhouse, jointly developed by UOL Group and Singapore Land Group (SingLand), nestled near Orchard Road, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and Dempsey Hill.

Other upcoming CCR projects in the pipeline include:

• Robertson Opus (redevelopment of Robertson Walk, by Frasers Property and Sekisui House)

• River Valley Green (Wing Tai Holdings)

• One Leonie Residences (freehold project)

• Skye at Holland (led by CapitaLand and UOL)

• Newport Residences (City Developments Limited)

Supply in the CCR has been relatively tight in recent years, and this upcoming pipeline is poised to reinvigorate market sentiment. While the 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) continues to weigh on foreign buyer activity, analyst Mohan noted that select high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) still regard Singapore real estate as a reliable safe haven for wealth preservation and are beginning to re-enter the market.

Rest of Central Region (RCR): Prime locations and price stability continue to draw owner-occupiers and investors

In the RCR, another 9 new projects are set to launch progressively, including:

• Arina East Residences (ZACD Group, a freehold project along Tanjong Rhu Road)

• The Sen (Sustained Land, along De Souza Avenue)

• Artisan 8 (Apex Asia Group, redevelopment of the former Sin Ming Centre)
  

Meanwhile, CapitaLand will roll out the 345-unit Lyndenwoods at Singapore Science Park, while Far East Organization is slated to launch Amber House, a 105-unit freehold development at Amber Gardens.

Offering prime city-fringe connectivity, mature lifestyle amenities, and comparatively accessible entry price points, RCR developments remain the sweet spot for local buyers and investors alike.

Outside Central Region (OCR): Robust EC demand as OCR unsold inventory hits new lows

Four new projects are slated for launch in the suburbs, including the sole EC offering, Otto Place—a 600-unit development at Plantation Close by Frasers Property and Sunway Developments.

Data reveals sustained strong demand for ECs. In Q4 2024, 528 units were sold against 504 units launched; in Q1 2025, 830 units were snapped up against 760 units launched. Mohan noted that the robust momentum seen at Novo Place is expected to spill over to Otto Place, underpinned by the growing maturity of Tengah town.

On the private residential front, OUE is set to introduce the 941-unit Springleaf Residence along Upper Thomson Road; Kheng Leong and Low Keng Huat will launch a 376-unit project at Canberra Crescent; and an OUE-led consortium will preview a 400-unit new development at Faber Walk.

Unsold inventory in the OCR plummeted from 7,698 units in Q1 2024 to 4,340 units in Q1 2025, marking the lowest level recorded since Q4 2022.

With OCR projects remaining exceptionally popular among first-time homebuyers and HDB upgraders, steady take-up rates and depleting stock point to a fundamentally sound market with minimal risk of oversupply.

Conclusion: A multifaceted launch wave gathers momentum

With inventory tapering, buying sentiment recovering, and a diverse spread of new projects coming to market, the residential sector is entering an active new cycle in the second half of the year. Whether for luxury buyers, first-time homeowners, or long-term investors, the expanding options will present timely opportunities, prompting developers to capitalise on this strategic window to meet pent-up homebuyer demand.
