Recent data from Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) shows that 21,319 residential units are expected to be completed over the next three quarters of this year while another 25,769 units are set to be completed in 2016, media reports said.

The figure which includes executive condominiums (ECs), is on top of the 23,298 units completed last year.

After 2016, URA expects the number of completions to moderate to 16,186 units by 2017 and 15,642 units by 2018.

5 major upcoming launches

Several new private residential projects could launch in the next six months, revealed Savills Research.

They will be located in the Core Central Region (CCR) and Rest of Central Region (RCR). Notably, there are no major projects planned for the Outside Central Region (OCR) in the near future.

Although no official launch dates have been set, developers are expected to step up their launches ahead of the year-end festive season and school holiday lull period, according to Chia Siew Chuin, Research Head at Colliers International.

She noted that despite the soft market conditions, there is still demand for well-located projects in areas with growth potential. Pricing will also be a determining factor in moving sales.
