Holland Link Government Land Sale (GLS) property was valuable in 2025. This shows that shoppers know Singapore’s greatest spots. Sim Lian Development and Property Pte Ltd leased a District 10 property for 99 years in August 2025. Their S$368.4 million bid was 22.2% more than the next highest bid and S$1,432 per plot foot. Many worry about its distance from services, but Sim Lian’s excessive price demonstrates he intends to lead Holland Plain.

Holland Link GLS Site

The Appeal of Planning with Low Density and High Status

The Holland Link site is the first GLS plot in the new Holland Plain region, which shows how important it is today and in the future. The URA Master Plan sees Holland Plain as a green, low-density area where the quality of life is more important than the quantity of people living there. The planned building will have a low plot ratio of 1.4 and a maximum of 233 units spread out across six floors. This will provide a private, large, and peaceful space. This low-rise, high-prestige house zoning near Good Class Bungalow (GCB) areas like Brizay Park is a great spot for rich people in Singapore to relax.

 

Educational Proximity: The Most Important Demand Anchor

The fact that the location is within the coveted 1km radius of Methodist Girls’ School (MGS) is a big reason why the offer is so high and why the condo is likely to be in high demand in the future. Families looking to buy a home in the Bukit Timah neighborhood are often attracted to the region since it is next to a well-known and popular elementary school. It almost guarantees a continual stream of interested owner-occupiers. Henry Park Primary School and other good schools are also close to the campus, which makes it even more appealing. This educational advantage gives the development a stable, long-term plan to keep its worth and meet demand. This makes it very appealing to investors who want to bring in families.

 

Market Outlook and Pricing Expectations

The highest price of S$1,432 psf ppr is not just a record for the new region, but it is also more than past competitive bids for luxury properties like Dunearn Road (S$1,410 psf ppr). This indicates how firmly Sim Lian believes in this transaction. Experts believe that the Holland Link project’s starting pricing will be between S$2,800 and S$3,000 per square foot. This estimated price point takes into consideration the high cost of living in the Core Central Region (CCR), the low population of the region, the ease of getting to schools, and the fact that the area will be able to connect to other places in the future. Because the project is only around 233 units large, the developer can focus on a high-end, boutique product that appeals to the selective client in District 10 who wants quiet elegance and status.

 

Building a community and having a strategic first-mover advantage

Sim Lian’s success offers it a very crucial first-mover advantage in defining the market price and perception for the full Holland Plain region, which is meant to contain up to eight residential lots in the end. The requirement that the site include an early childhood development center (ECDC) of at least 5,382 square feet of Gross Floor Area (GFA) makes the development even more a part of the community. The Holland Link development will be seen as a cornerstone project that sets the standard for living in the new neighborhood. Because it guarantees basic social services and planned green places. A balanced, family-friendly, and elite lifestyle awaits residents.
