URA Masterplan For Pearl's Hill / Outram Park:
6,000 homes to be built in Pearl's Hill over 10 years, with more planned for other central locations
6,000 homes to be built in Pearl's Hill over 10 years, with more planned for other central locations
As one of the two remaining hills in the city, URA said that Pearl’s Hill will undergo development as an inclusive and community-centric neighbourhood. Future residents can look forward to a variety of amenities within a proposed mixed-use development to be integrated with Outram Park MRT Station and around the neighbourhood to meet their daily needs. Given Pearl’s Hill's convenient location near the Central Business District, Chinatown Historic District and Tiong Bahru neighbourhood, as well as access to four MRT lines, the area has been gazetted as a car-lite district - a network of street-level and elevated connections for residents of Pearl’s Hill to promote "a delightful pedestrian and cycling experience". These connections will also have convenient access to Pearl’s Hill City Park, key transport and amenity nodes, as well as a seamless walking experience towards surrounding urban precincts such as Robertson Quay and Fort Canning Park.
Additionally, the National Parks Board will be enhancing Pearl’s Hill City Park with new park facilities and "contemplative landscapes" that support the physical and mental well-being of park users.

CCR / RCR LAND PRICE TREND IN SINGAPORE
UPSIDE POTENTIAL 16:
WILL HIGHER LAND BETTERMENT CHARGE (LBC) & HARMONISATION RAISE NEW CONDO PSF PRICES?
With effect from 1 August 2022, a new Land Betterment Charge (LBC) will replace Differential Premium (DP), Development Charge (DC) and Temporary Development Levy (TDL), and be administered by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
Will the LBC Revision Affect Property Prices? The hike in LBC means that the total cost of developing land is going to rise since developers are going to have to pay a higher tax on the increase in the value of the land as the land betterment charge (LBC) rates for key use groups – residential, commercial, industrial and hotels – for the next half year have all been raised for the first time since a September 2011 review.
The latest LBC rates for the 1 March to 31 Aug 2024 period were announced on 29 Feb 2024, following a review by the Singapore Land Authority in consultation with the taxman’s chief valuer.
Developers pay an LBC for the right to enhance the use of some sites or to build bigger projects on them and this is expected to raise land costs payable by developers when developing the land to build private residential properties.
