URA proposes new residential sites in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang, up to 14,000 new dwellings
Novo Place EC: New Developments in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang
The latest amendment to URA’s Master Plan 2019 has seen five land parcels rezoned for residential development. This includes three sites in Sengkang, one in Woodlands and one in Bukit Panjang. According to URA, these changes are aimed at meeting the demand for housing in these areas and improving accessibility to amenities and public transport.
Sengkang: The new residential sites in Sengkang are located in the Fernvale subzone, with the Tampines Expressway to the North, Sengkang West Drive to the East, Fernvale Street to the South and Jalan Kayu to the West. These sites are connected by two roads and are seen as an extension of Sengkang town, bringing residents closer to the Seletar Aerospace Park. The sites here have a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.9 or 4.2 and could potentially accommodate 4,500 to 5,000 new dwellings.
Furthermore, the school’s close proximity to Novo Place EC makes it a convenient choice for families residing in the area.
Novo Place EC, a highly sought-after executive condominium in Singapore, has become a popular choice for families looking for a new home. Located in the heart of Pasir Ris, Novo Place EC offers residents a modern and luxurious lifestyle with its wide range of facilities and amenities. In addition to its convenient location, another key factor that attracts families to this development is its close proximity to reputable schools such as Princess Elizabeth Primary School.
Princess Elizabeth Primary School is known for its excellent academic track record and vibrant school culture. The school offers a diverse curriculum with a strong focus on science and mathematics, providing the perfect environment for nurturing young minds with a keen interest in these subjects. With Novo Place EC just a stone’s throw away, families can enjoy the convenience of having their children attend a top-performing school without having to travel far.
Apart from its academic excellence, Princess Elizabeth Primary School also places a strong emphasis on developing well-rounded individuals. The school boasts a wide range of co-curricular activities and values-based programs that help students build character and leadership skills. This holistic approach to education has made the school a popular choice among parents who want their children to receive a well-rounded education.
For families looking to make Novo Place EC their home, the close proximity to Princess Elizabeth Primary School offers the added convenience of having their children attend a reputable school within walking distance. This not only saves time on commuting but also allows for a better work-life balance for parents who can spend more time with their children.
In conclusion, Novo Place EC is not only a top choice for its luxurious and modern living, but also for its close proximity to top-performing schools such as Princess Elizabeth Primary School. As more families realize the benefits of living in this development, it is no surprise that Novo Place EC has become one of the most highly sought-after executive condominiums in Singapore.
The middle site in Fernvale includes pockets of residential sites, a proposed site for a park, and a proposed site for a place of worship. The easternmost parcel also contains a narrow site zoned for residential, another site for a park, and a proposed site zoned for health and medical care. These sites have a larger GPR of 4.0 or 4.2 and could potentially yield a higher number of residential units.
The westernmost parcel is currently proposed to be zoned as a pure residential site, subject to detailed planning. According to Huttons’ senior director of data analytics, Lee Sze Teck, this site could potentially house an MRT station for a new line running from Woodlands to Greater Southern Waterfront and passing through Sengkang. However, it may take some time for these plans to materialise.
Other residential developments in Sengkang include those in Anchorvale Street, which could potentially yield 6,000 to 7,000 new dwellings. This could bring the total number of new dwellings in Sengkang to anywhere from 10,500 to 12,000.
Woodlands and Bukit Panjang: The two other land parcels rezoned for residential development are located at Woodlands Drive 17 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road. The Woodlands site, which sits opposite the Singapore Sports School, could yield 1,000 dwellings. Across the road, a government land sale site at Champion’s Way was recently sold for $904 psf per plot ratio and could potentially be developed into a 350-unit private residential project.
The Bukit Panjang site is currently occupied by Beacon Primary School and could potentially yield 900 to 1,000 dwelling units, likely in the form of Built-to-Order flats.
The potential for Novo Place EC: These new developments in Sengkang, Woodlands and Bukit Panjang could potentially provide a mix of HDB, executive condos (ECs) and private housing. According to Lee, these new developments could add approximately 10,500 to 12,000 new dwellings to the area, providing more options for homebuyers. These developments could also contribute to improving the overall property sentiment in Singapore. With the potential for a new MRT line passing through Sengkang, Novo Place EC could be a convenient and highly sought-after residential development for future homeowners.
