Master Plan

URA master plan zoning + planning areas

Reading the URA Master Plan

Key Takeaways

  • Map data is refreshed from URA, HDB and OneMap APIs — hover any marker for live values.
  • Use the filter panel to narrow results by district, bedroom type, price range, or tenure.
  • Click any marker or polygon to drill down into the underlying property or area detail.

What It Does

The URA Master Plan is Singapore's strategic blueprint for land use and development over the next 10-15 years. This map overlays future MRT stations, growth zones, and existing condo distribution to help you identify areas where infrastructure investment will drive property value.

Why It Matters

Key Growth Corridors

  • Jurong Lake District (JLD): Singapore's second CBD. Major commercial, residential, and leisure hub around Jurong East. Expected to transform D22 property values.
  • Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW): 2,000-hectare redevelopment from Pasir Panjang to Marina East. Multi-decade transformation rivalling Marina Bay.
  • Woodlands Regional Centre: Northern gateway tied to the Johor-Singapore RTS Link (2026). Offices, retail, and residential integrated development.
  • Punggol Digital District (PDD): Tech hub anchored by SIT campus and JTC business park. Already driving D19 condo demand.

New MRT Lines

TEL Stage 5 (Bedok South, Sungei Bedok) is scheduled for 2H 2026. The Cross Island Line Phase 1 targets 2030 — at ~27 stations and 70km, it will be Singapore's longest line and historically, station proximity adds 10-15% property premiums. Toggle the layers above to explore where future infrastructure meets existing property stock.

How It Works

  • Pan and zoom to the area of Singapore you are interested in.
  • Use the filter panel to narrow results by district, bedroom type, or price range.
  • Hover any marker or polygon for a tooltip with exact values.
  • Click a marker to open the underlying property or area detail page.

Examples

Jurong Lake District corridor: identifying condos near future commercial hub

Inputs
Overlay
URA Master Plan growth zones + future MRT stations
Zone focus
Jurong Lake District (JLD)
Layer
Existing condo distribution near JLD boundary
Context
Singapore's largest commercial development outside CBD, ~360ha
Results
Future stations in zone
Jurong Region Line — 24 stations by 2029
Existing condos within 1km
12 developments (J Gateway, Lake Grande, etc.)
Current PSF
~$1,450–$1,680 PSF (OCR)
JLD employment target
100,000 jobs (URA 2040 plan)

How to read this: The Master Plan overlay reveals the long-run investment thesis for JLD: a combination of office decentralisation, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use development anchored by Jurong East MRT interchange. Condos within 1km of the JLD boundary currently price at OCR rates despite proximity to a future economic cluster that URA intends to rival the CBD in scale. The map identifies these condos spatially — buyers evaluating a 10-15 year horizon can overlay current PSF (via the price heatmap) to check whether JLD-proximate developments are already priced at a premium or still at a discount to the potential.

Cross Island Line Phase 1: spotting underpriced OCR condos near future stations

Inputs
Overlay
Future MRT stations (Cross Island Line Phase 1, opening 2030)
Stations
Aviation Park → Loyang → Pasir Ris → Tampines North → Bright Hill
Layer
Condo distribution within 800m of future CRL stations
Benchmark
Current PSF vs district median
Results
Stations without nearby condos
Aviation Park, Loyang (largely industrial/Changi)
Stations with underpriced condos
Tampines North (D18, ~$1,600 PSF vs D18 median ~$1,680)
Historical MRT uplift
5–15% within 800m of new station opening, based on CCK/DTE precedents

How to read this: The CRL map identifies which future stations have existing residential supply nearby versus which are in commercial or industrial zones where the uplift story doesn't apply. Tampines North and Bright Hill are the residential-facing CRL stations — condos within 800m of these stations are currently priced at or below district medians. If the historical 5–15% MRT proximity premium holds at opening (2030), buyers at current pricing have a transit-driven appreciation catalyst on a known timeline. This is exactly the kind of long-range infrastructure play the Master Plan overlay is designed to surface.

Tips & Pitfalls

Expert Tips

  • Zoom out first to spot macro patterns before diving into individual districts.
  • Compare this map against the rental yield map to find high-demand, low-price outliers.
  • Use the legend to understand colour encoding — the same colour can mean different things on different maps.

Common Pitfalls

  • Judging a district by headline colour alone — the underlying sample size varies wildly across Singapore.
  • Confusing median with mean when both are shown — means are skewed by luxury outliers.
  • Forgetting that new-launch prices are discounted — resale prices are a better benchmark for fair value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the map data come from?
Data is sourced from URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority), HDB, OneMap, and official Singapore government APIs, refreshed monthly.
How often is the map updated?
Transaction-based maps refresh monthly as URA and HDB publish new data. Planning layers (Master Plan, GLS) update as gazetted.
Can I filter by district or bedroom type?
Yes — use the filter panel on the map. Filter state is preserved in the URL so you can share a deep link to a specific view.
