URA launches residential sites for sale in Dorset Road, Upper Thomson Road, Telok Blangah Road
The three sites together can yield around 1,765 private homes.
The site location area at Dorset Road is 10,399 sq m, with a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 36,397 sq m and can yield around 425 residential units.
As for the Upper Thomson Road (Parcel A) site, its size is 24,421.9 sq m and has a maximum GFA of 53,729 sq m. It can yield around 595 residential units.
The Telok Blangah Road site's location area size is 13,688.9 sq m with a maximum GFA of 64,338 sq m, and can yield around 745 residential units.
All three sites have a lease period of 99 years, and form part of the 5,030 residential units to be released via the confirmed list of the GLS programme for the first half of 2025.
Mr Mark Yip, chief executive officer of Huttons Asia, said the Dorset Road site may see around three bidders and a top bid of $950 to $1,050 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr), thanks to its city fringe location within walking distance of Farrer Park MRT station.
'This area usually sees more boutique projects and there is strong demand for bigger projects. The last major project in the area, Piccadilly Grand sold 77 per cent of its units on launch weekend, reflecting strong interest from residential property buyers for both bigger projects and the area,' he added.
He also said that the Upper Thomson Road (Parcel A) site may attract up to three bidders and a top bid between $900 and $950 psf ppr.
As for the site in Telok Blangah Road, it could attract a top bid of $1,200 to $1,300 psf ppr, from four to six bidders, according to OrangeTee CEO Justin Quek.
It is the first site to be launched for sale in the Greater Southern Waterfront, a transformation project for Singapore, that is part of the 120km southern coastline announced during the 2024 National Day Rally.
Additionally, it is the first GLS site in Telok Blangah in 35 years.
'The project will form around 25 per cent of the private housing supply to be built in this area, resulting in limited remaining upcoming private developments at the former Keppel Golf Course site,' explained Mr Quek.
The tender for the Dorset Road site will close at noon on Oct 9. As for the Upper Thomson Road (Parcel A) and Telok Blangah Road sites, their tenders will close at the same time on Oct 23 and Nov 4, respectively.
URA said on June 24 that 4,725 private residential units will be launched via the second half of 2025 confirmed list, bringing the total confirmed list supply for 2025 to close to 10,000 units. THE BUSINESS TIMES

Nasdaq Listing Fuels Philippine Hotel Magnate's Global Ambitions
This story is part of Forbes' coverage of Philippines' Richest 2025. See the full list here . The June SPAC listing of Hotel101 Global Holdings made history as the first Filipino-owned company to debut on the Nasdaq market. The Singapore-based hospitality arm of Philippine property developer DoubleDragon, set up by chairman and CEO Edgar Sia II together with his longtime business partner, fast food billionaire Tony Tan Caktiong (DoubleDragon's cochairman), operates what it calls 'condotels.' These are condos with standardized rooms—a compact 21-square-meter unit, including a kitchenette—which are presold while the properties are under construction and operated as hotels after completion. The investor is entitled to a 30% share of gross room revenue every month plus free stays. Hotel101 currently has 1,100 rooms in two such condo hotels in the Philippines, with three more under construction. Projects are underway in Japan and Spain with a site secured in Los Angeles. In May, Hotel101 announced a joint venture with Saudi investment firm Horizon Group to build 10,000 rooms across Saudi Arabia. Though its market cap of $850 million is well below its pre-listing valuation of $2.3 billion, the Nasdaq IPO takes Sia closer to his goal of making Hotel101 a globe-girdling brand—with 1 million hotel rooms in 100 countries by 2050.

Zillow revenue up 15% to $655M as mortgage and rentals business drive growth
(Zillow Image) Zillow beat estimates for its second quarter with $655 million in revenue, up 15% year-over-year. GAAP net income was $2 million, up from a $17 million loss in the year-ago period. Shares were down as much as 6% in after-hours trading but later recovered. The company's mortgage business (up 41% to $48 million) and rentals unit (up 36% to $159 million) helped drive growth in the quarter. Zillow's core 'Residential' business grew 6% to $434 million. Traffic to Zillow's mobile apps and websites was up 5% to 243 million average monthly unique users. The total revenue growth beat internal expectations and outpaced the broader housing and mortgage market 'that remained essentially flat,' CEO Jeremy Wacksman wrote in a letter to shareholders. The Seattle-based company now expects mid-teens revenue growth for 2025, at the higher end of its previous full-year outlook. Zillow's stock is up more than 15% in the past month. In addition to a stagnant U.S. housing market, Zillow is in legal battles with two other industry titans: CoStar (over copyright infringement) and Compass (over listings).
