Offered on a 99-year lease, all three sites could yield a total of 845 housing units.

The first two sites at Woodlands Avenue 5 and Coronation Road were released under the confirmed list, while the remaining site at Jalan Bunga Rampai is on the reserve list.

The land parcel in Woodlands is for executive condominium (EC) homes and has a site area of 226,088 sq ft. It is likely to generate 590 units and is easily accessible via the Admiralty and Woodlands MRT stations as well as Seletar Expressway.
