As we head into late-2025 and early-2026, Singapore’s private housing pipeline is robust and varied—ranging from prime-district integrated projects to family-oriented enclaves in the west. With developers staggering previews and bookings into October–January, buyers will see healthy choice just as interest-rate expectations and sentiment continue to evolve. The Government’s latest land-supply moves also point to ample medium-term inventory, which helps keep expectations anchored.
How we picked the “Top 5”:
- Location quality & connectivity (proximity to MRT, employment nodes, schools)
- Project concept (design, amenities, unit mix, on-site retail/childcare, sustainability)
- Developer pedigree & site fundamentals (land rate, scale, tenure)
- Likely launch timing (Q4 2025–Q1 2026) and buyer appeal (OO/investor)
At a glance: Holland Village’s tallest new entrant, an integrated-development site in River Valley, Queenstown’s anticipated Margaret Drive plot, a rare landed-enclave condo in Clementi, and a CBD freehold integrated redevelopment.
Market Overview & Trends
- Supply: URA projects ~9,800 private units launched in 2025, lifting the overall pipeline to ~56,700 units (incl. EC), signalling sustained availability into 2026.
- Backdrop: 1H/2H 2025 GLS slates remain elevated versus 2021–2023, supporting balanced conditions for buyers even as selected CCR/RCR sites see strong demand.
- What stands out now: Transit-rich locations, integrated retail/childcare, live-near-work in the CBD/City Fringe, and designs that keep overall quantum palatable even when $psf is high.
The 5 Most Exciting Launches

Developer: UOL & CapitaLand (GLS) • Tenure: 99-year • Units: ~666 • Timing: Previewed late Sep/early Oct 2025; bookings in October 2025.

Risks & Watch-outs
- Launch crowding & competition: Multiple RCR/CCR launches around the city fringe can split demand and pressure developers to tweak pricing/stack release.
- Timeline variability: Indicative Jan 2026 for Newport Residences and late-Oct windows for others can move due to approvals/marketing.
- Macro & policy: Interest-rate expectations and any tweaks to cooling measures can alter affordability and sentiment; keep an eye on URA & MAS signals.
Conclusion & Take-Home
For Q4 2025, Skye at Holland, Zyon Grand, Penrith, and Faber Residence headline the action with distinct propositions: prime-district village living, river-valley integration, Queenstown practicality, and west-side landed-fringe serenity.

Tips for buyers:
