What makes the latest GLS home sites slightly worse than 1H13's list

Suburban regions without prime sites?

According to Knight Frank, the government has maintained a constant supply of residential land sites (including ECs) of around 14,155 units in the upcoming 2nd Half 2013 GLS Programme. 

Knight Frank said that this is to cater for an anticipated increase in population and home demand over the medium term. However, almost all of the residential sites under the Confirmed List are in the suburban regionswith no prime sites, unlike in the 1H-2013 Confirmed List where there were plum sites available such as at Coronation Road / Victoria Park Road and Mount Sophia.

Sites in the Reserve List, which are mainly brought forward from the previous 1H-2013 Reserve List, are generally of better locations and sites in the City centre and fringe areas could be triggered by developers should market conditions strengthen.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
