Kallang Close GLS Condo — RCR New Launch Near Sports Hub & Kallang 2026

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Kallang is no longer just a name on the map — it is one of Singapore’s most actively transforming urban corridors, and the Kallang Close GLS site puts a brand-new RCR condominium at the heart of that transformation. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has placed Kallang Close on the Confirmed List of the Government Land Sales programme, with the tender currently open and set to close on 7 April 2026. For buyers and investors who have been tracking RCR opportunities along the Kallang-Haig Road corridor, this is the headline site of 2026.

At 1.14 hectares with a Gross Plot Ratio (GPR) of 3.5, this is a medium-high density site capable of delivering a landmark residential project within walking distance of the Singapore Sports Hub, Kallang MRT (East West Line) and Mountbatten MRT (Circle Line). Indicative market pricing sits in the range of $2,800 to $3,200 PSF — reflecting both the RCR premium and the scarcity of new residential supply in this corridor.

Kallang Close GLS — Site Details and Tender Timeline

The Kallang Close GLS site was placed on the Confirmed List of the H1 2026 GLS Programme — meaning URA is committed to launching the tender regardless of developer interest levels. This signals the government’s confidence in residential demand for this location.

Key site parameters:

• Land area: 1.14 hectares (approximately 12,270 sq m)
• Gross Plot Ratio (GPR): 3.5
• District: 12, Rest of Central Region (RCR)
• Zoning: Residential
• Tender closes: 7 April 2026
• Estimated GFA: Approximately 42,900 sq m
• Estimated units: 385-450 units (subject to developer design)

Once awarded — typically within 4-8 weeks of tender close — the winning developer will move into concept planning, OTP preparation and showflat construction. Based on standard timelines, a public launch can reasonably be anticipated in Q3 or Q4 2026. Buyers who register VVIP interest now will be among the first to receive floor plan previews, indicative pricing and balloting priority ahead of the public.

Kallang’s Urban Transformation — Sports Hub, River, and Paya Lebar

What separates Kallang from other RCR districts is the density and scale of infrastructure investment happening simultaneously. The following drivers are converging to make Kallang one of the most compelling residential corridors in Singapore:

Singapore Sports Hub and National Stadium

The National Stadium and Singapore Sports Hub sit within easy reach of Kallang Close. This precinct hosts international sporting events, concerts, and lifestyle activities year-round. Residents of any new condo on Kallang Close will enjoy exceptional walkability to one of Asia’s most prominent sports and entertainment venues — a quality-of-life advantage that commands a rental premium.

Kallang Alive Master Plan

URA’s Kallang Alive Master Plan is a deliberate strategy to energise the Kallang-Haig Road corridor with sports facilities, public parks, waterfront promenades and mixed-use developments. The plan positions Kallang as Singapore’s sports and wellness hub — drawing both residents and workers who value an active lifestyle.

Kallang River Waterfront Rejuvenation

The Kallang River, which runs through the area, is undergoing a comprehensive waterfront rejuvenation as part of the ABC Waters programme. Residents near Kallang Close will have access to riverfront parks, cycling paths and recreational green corridors — all without leaving their immediate neighbourhood.

Paya Lebar Commercial Hub

Paya Lebar is one of Singapore’s designated decentralised commercial centres. With the relocation of Paya Lebar Airbase and the expansion of Paya Lebar Central, tens of thousands of new office-based jobs are expected to arrive in the eastern corridor over the next decade. Kallang is ideally positioned to capture rental demand from this workforce — professionals who want proximity to Paya Lebar without paying Marina Bay prices.

Dual MRT Access

Kallang MRT (East West Line) and Mountbatten MRT (Circle Line) both serve this area, offering residents two independent rail lines. The EWL connects directly to City Hall, Raffles Place, Bugis and Tampines. The CCL links to Bishan, Serangoon, Dhoby Ghaut and Harbourfront. This dual-line connectivity is a rare advantage in a single residential site and directly supports strong rental yields.

Expected Condo Features and Pricing

While developer-specific details cannot be confirmed prior to award, the site parameters and RCR norms give a clear picture of what buyers can expect from the future Kallang Close condo.

Indicative PSF and Quantum

Market analysts and ERA’s internal research team project a launch PSF in the range of $2,800 to $3,200, consistent with the RCR Kallang-Haig premium. At these PSF levels, indicative entry quantums would be:

• 1-bedroom (450-500 sq ft): $1.26M-$1.60M
• 2-bedroom (700-800 sq ft): $1.96M-$2.56M
• 3-bedroom (1,000-1,200 sq ft): $2.80M-$3.84M

Expected Unit Mix

RCR developments with GPR 3.5 on a 1.14 ha site typically lean toward a compact-to-mid-size unit mix to maximise saleable area. Expect a distribution weighted toward 1- and 2-bedroom units (approximately 60%), with 3-bedroom and premium units making up the balance.

Facilities and Design

Based on comparable RCR launches in 2024-2025 (e.g., Emerald of Katong, Arina East), buyers can anticipate: 50m lap pool, sky terrace, co-working lounge, gym, BBQ pavilions, and landscaped communal gardens. Given the Sports Hub proximity, some developers may incorporate a sports-lifestyle design language — gym-forward amenities, open courts, or wellness-focused programming.

Before committing, ensure you understand how ABSD Singapore 2026 applies to your purchase, and verify your borrowing capacity through the TDSR Singapore 2026 framework. Alvin Tan can walk you through both in a complimentary consultation.

Kallang vs Other RCR Districts — Value Comparison for Investors

Investors considering Kallang Close GLS should benchmark it against comparable RCR options to understand relative value:

Kallang Close’s dual-MRT access, Sports Hub proximity and the Kallang Alive masterplan give it a compelling multi-factor narrative that few RCR sites can match in 2026. For investors, the combination of a transforming precinct, strong rental catchment and limited new supply in District 12 creates a favourable supply-demand dynamic.

Compare this against other new launch condos in Singapore to see how Kallang Close ranks across districts and price points.
