The Land Sale procedure begins with the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. Each GLS Programme is planned and announced every six months. The GLS Programme comprises sites on the Confirmed and Reserve Lists to provide flexibility in the supply of land for development.
You can find the list of Confirmed and Reserve List sites for sale here.
Sites identified for sale on the Confirmed List are launched for sale at pre-determined dates and most land parcels are sold through tenders.
Sites on the Reserve List are not released for tender immediately but are instead made available for application. A Reserve List site will be put up for tender when a developer has indicated a minimum price which is accepted by the government.
The Government will also consider launching a Reserve List site for tender if it has received sufficient market interest for the site. This is when more than one unrelated party has submitted a minimum price that is close to the government's Reserve Price, within a reasonable period.
You can refer to the Reserve List procedure for more information.
Developers can apply for sites once detailed sales conditions are released in the eDeveloper's Packet. This document contains:
• Conditions of Tender • Technical Conditions of Tender • Form of Tender / Application Form • Other relevant documents and information for the tender and the Land Parcel.
The eDeveloper's Packet is available at S$181.90 (inclusive of GST), $170.00 (w/o GST).

However, residential land sold under the GLS Programme is exempted from this requirement. Instead, foreign housing developers are required under the land sales conditions to sell all the dwelling houses within 2 years from the date of the Temporary Occupation Permit for the dwelling houses.
