Second Woodlands Drive 17 Gls Site Launched Tender

Woodlands Drive 17 Executive Condo Site Launched for SaleThe Government Land Sales (GLS) site at Woodlands Drive 17 has been launched for sale, offering developers the opportunity to create 560 executive condo (EC) units. This 290,412 sq ft site is part of the 2H2025 GLS programme and is expected to yield around 560 EC units. The launch of this site comes after the successful award of an earlier EC site in Woodlands Drive 17 on Aug 5, according to Wong Siew Ying, head of research and content at PropNex Realty. The first site garnered a total of five bids, with City Developments (CDL) emerging as the top bidder, offering $360.9 million ($782 psf ppr). This set a new record price per sq ft for an EC site, indicating the high demand for EC units in the area. However, with this new launch, Wong is urging developers to exercise caution and not be overly bullish in their land bid prices as it could directly impact the future selling price and affordability for potential buyers.AdvertisementThe Woodlands Drive 17 EC site is strategically located near the Woodlands South MRT Station, which is set to open in 2026. This MRT station is situated on the Thomson-East Coast Line and is just one stop from Woodlands Regional Centre, and two stops from the Johor-Singapore SEZ and the upcoming RTS Link. The location and accessibility of this site make it an ideal spot for families with children, as it is situated within a 1km radius of several schools such as Innova Primary School and Woodlands Ring Primary School. According to Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Singapore, this factor will likely contribute to the high demand for EC units in this area.AdvertisementPropNex Realty’s Wong also foresees that the Woodlands Drive 17 EC site will generate strong interest from buyers due to the high demand for EC units in the area. The last EC plot awarded in the Woodlands planning area was back in 2015, which was developed into Northwave, a 358-unit development by Hao Yuan Investment. Prior to that, the 561-unit Bellewoods EC in Woodlands South, which was launched in December 2014, was also a hit.According to ERA’s Lim, the demand for the future EC development at the Woodlands Drive 17 site will come primarily from HDB upgraders in Woodlands and other nearby northern towns such as Sembawang and Yishun. This is backed by the fact that over 1,800 four- and five-room flats in Woodlands will fulfil their minimum occupation period (MOP) between 2026 and 2029. Therefore, it could very likely increase the number of potential upgrades in the EC market.PropNex Realty’s Wong predicts that there will be four to six bids for the Woodlands Drive 17 EC site, with the top bid estimated to be around $770 to $780 psf ppr. Huttons’ Yip also expects the same number of bidders to take part in the tender, with the highest bid price ranging between $700 to $800 psf ppr. He also noted that the bid prices for EC sites have remained stable, and the bid price for the second site is likely to hover around the same price level read more

You might also be interested in Last, we consider the specific garden features that are most likely to create cost overruns, and what you can do to avoid spending more than you expected.Garden Feature: LandscapingNo matter how well your home and garden are designed, you’ll want to spend time outside. So landscaping should be one of the first things you tackle after moving in. However, one of the biggest mistakes first-time homeowners make is creating a garden that’s too high maintenance. If you’re new to gardening, ask for advice or do some research to determine which plants and trees require minimal upkeep. You can also reduce your garden maintenance by adding irrigation, a feature that can pay for itself in terms of water savings.Garden Feature: Decks and PatiosBefore you add a deck or patio, consider your home’s design, your family’s lifestyle, and the climate in which you live. For a home with a natural khaki color, a warm beige stone would be a good pick. Or, if you have a home in a cool location, consider gray granite accents. Talk to an architect about the best location for your deck or patio relative to your home.Hire a landscaper with experience in adding a beautiful deck or patio. A poorly executed installation will be an eyesore, costing you time and money in the long run. Avoid problems by making sure you and your contractor agree on the following:Would this project be more cost-effective in the long-term with concrete pavers or flagstone?Are there any special drainage considerations?Garden Feature: PoolsPools are certainly an attractive addition to any garden, and you may strongly consider having one. On the flip side, it’s can be really disturbing to see how much damage to trees and plants a pool can do during installation. If preserving your trees is of utmost importance to you, it may be worthwhile to hire an arborist. This professional will be able to give you accurate advice on the best location to install your pool. They’ll also be able to protect your trees and plants before and during installation. An arborist can even tell you what to expect from the soil once your pool is finished. Swollen areas of soil, dead trees, and damaged roots are all common results of pool installation.Garden Feature: Arbours and TrellisesNot all gardens would benefit from an arbor or trellis. These features are important when they provide shade, privacy, or act as a natural entrance to your garden. Otherwise, there’s no need to incorporate them.Also, try to choose a style that is in keeping with that of your home and surroundings. For a home with a traditional appearance, you might consider a wood arbor with an arch. As for your color selection, consider a simple green or white for your trellis or arbor. Why call attention to a feature that isn’t in keeping with the rest of your garden?Garden Feature: Water Fountains and WaterfallsThe sound of a gushing waterfall or water fountain in your garden is certainly relaxing. If you’re interested in adding an element of water to your garden, you also need to consider a few other points. Most important of these is probably the humidity level in your area – will it be too much additional moisture? Also, be very aware that when we say “waterfall” we mean “maintenance.” There is quite a bit required in order to maintain the pleasant sound of water tinkling through rocks. You’ll want to clean it and put it away once the weather cools down. But all of that labor is worth the sound of a beautiful waterfall.The designers of family-friendly homes often want to add a pond, but this feature can have its downside. While children will enjoy it,
