Ura Launches Bedok Rise Gls Site Last Plot Next Tanah Merah Mrt Station
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has recently put up two residential sites for sale. The first site is a private housing plot located at Bedok Rise, while the second site is a long-stay serviced apartment site at Cross Street. These sites have been included in the 2H2025 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme.
The Bedok Rise parcel, which is currently available for sale on the Confirmed List, has the potential to be developed into approximately 380 private homes. According to Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, this plot is the last piece of land with direct access to Tanah Merah MRT Station.
Interested parties can search for the latest new launches to find out more about pricing and availability. The last project launched in this area was Sceneca Residence, a 268-unit development located right across the road from the Bedok Rise site. The development is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and is currently 99.3% sold at an average price of $2,072 psf. There are only two units left.
Sceneca Residence was launched in January 2023 and was 60% sold over the launch weekend. The GLS site for this project was awarded in November 2020 to MCC Land (TMK), a joint venture between MCC Land, Malaysian developer Ekovest, and Singapore-listed The Place Holdings, at $930 psf ppr.
The GLS site at Bedok Rise is located next to Grandeur Park Residences and is the last piece of land available with direct access to Tanah Merah MRT Station. This MRT station is set to become an interchange for the East-West and Thomson-East Coast lines in the 2030s. With enhanced connectivity and future growth plans in the area, Wong Siew Ying, Head of Research and Content at PropNex, believes that this plot will appeal to both investors and owner-occupiers.
Connectivity in this area is expected to improve even further when Tanah Merah MRT Station becomes an interchange for the East-West and Thomson-East Coast lines (TEL) in the mid-2030s. This will provide direct access to Expo, Changi Airport, and the future Changi Terminal 5. Recognizing the potential of this area, Singapore-based 8M Real Estate acquired Sceneca Square retail podium in September 2024 for $64 million, translating to $3,161 psf on its net lettable area of 20,247 sq ft.
Despite being in the same district and planning area as Bayshore Road, which is currently seeing intense bidding activity, ERA CEO Marcus Chu does not expect the Bedok Rise site to spark the same level of competition. The first GLS site in the upcoming Bayshore precinct was recently awarded in March at $1,388 psf ppr to SingHaiyi Group. It attracted eight bidders due to its “first-mover advantage,” explains Chu.
However, the supply of private homes in Outside Central Region (OCR) is currently tight, with only about 2,000 unsold units. This is due to strong take-up at recent launches such as Springleaf Residence, which is 94% sold within a month, notes Huttons’ Yip. Given the tight supply dynamics, property research analysts expect healthy competition for the Bedok Rise site.
Huttons Asia expects up to five bidders with a top bid in the range of $1,100 to $1,200 psf ppr.
OrangeTee foresees four to seven bidders with a top bid in the range of $1,200 to $1,300 psf ppr.
PropNex expects five to seven bidders with the top bid of around $1,200 to $1,300 psf ppr.
Justin Quek, CEO of OrangeTee, adds that non-landed private home prices in District 16 have climbed 45.3% from $1,126 psf in 2020 to $1,636 psf in the first eight months of 2025. This further supports the growth potential of the Bedok Rise site.
The Bedok Rise parcel is part of the 2H2025 GLS Confirmed List, which will supply 4,725 residential units. The tender for this site will close on November 27th.
The second site released on September 18th is the Cross Street site, which is available for sale on the Reserve List. This site is intended for long-stay serviced apartments (SA2), which have a minimum stay of three months.
The site has the potential for a 30-storey commercial building with up to 315 residential units for lease and 500 sq m (5,382 sq ft) of first-floor commercial space. Interested parties can check out the latest listings for Sceneca Residence properties to learn more about the project.

Connectivity will be significantly improved with the TEL extension, which will connect Expo, Changi Airport, and the future Changi Terminal 5- a part of the broader Changi East transformation. Nonetheless, only the first phase of Terminal 5 will be completed in the mid-2030s.
