Singapore's Draft Master Plan 2025 (DMP 2025) is more than a technical update. It's a roadmap shaping the next decade of our city's homes, neighbourhoods, and opportunities.
As a realtor who's worked with hundreds of families across HDB, condos, and landed homes, I want to help you understand what this plan means for your real estate journey, whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, or investing for the long haul.

URA is bringing over 20,000 new homes to city-fringe and core areas like Marina South, Pearl's Hill, and Newton. These are mixed-use, MRT-connected, and nature-integrated.
Why it matters: If you're an investor, these developments will anchor long-term price support. For homebuyers, it means access to prime living without the full-core price tag.

The plan makes it clear: homes near new or enhanced MRT lines (like TEL, JRL, and CRL) will enjoy faster commutes and stronger future value.
Why it matters: Proximity to MRT stations is no longer a bonus but it's becoming a baseline expectation.
Developments are being planned with green corridors, heritage parks, and nature-facing homes: from Springleaf to Mount Pleasant to Bukit Timah Turf City.
Why it matters: This isn't just about aesthetics, it's about healthier lifestyles, better air quality, and higher long-term desirability.

The plan highlights new townships and rejuvenation areas you should watch:
> Greater Southern Waterfront (Keppel, Pasir Panjang, Telok Blangah)
> Mount Pleasant (heritage-rich, low-density residential zone)
> Chencharu in Yishun (a new BTO + private mix with central park charm)
Why it matters: These areas will shape the next wave of buyer demand and offer early-mover advantages.
