Bedok Rise Residences Enjoys Prime Positioning at Sceneca and Tanah Merah
Welcome to Bedok Rise Residences, the working name for a new private condominium planned for the Bedok Rise Government Land Sales (GLS) site, strategically located next to Tanah Merah MRT Station in Singapore’s District 16. Allgreen Properties — bidding through its subsidiary Bellis Residential Pte Ltd — won the site in a tender that closed on November 27, 2025, beating nine other bidders with a top offer of S$464.8 million, or S$1,330 per square foot per plot ratio. As of this writing, Allgreen has not yet released the development’s official project name, so “Bedok Rise Residences” should be treated as a working title drawn from the road it sits on, not a confirmed brand.
The Site, in Concrete Numbers
The parcel measures 20,300 sq m (218,507 sq ft), with a plot ratio of 1.6 and a maximum gross floor area of 32,480 sq m (349,612 sq ft). Based on that GFA and typical unit sizing for the area, URA’s Government Land Sales award notice and market analysts estimate the site will yield approximately 380 residential units — a meaningful addition to an area where supply has been genuinely tight.
A Seamless Connection to Sceneca Square — and a Real Reason That Matters Now
The development fronts Tanah Merah MRT Station (EW4) on the East-West Line, with Sceneca Square mall sitting directly adjacent. That adjacency does more than add convenience: Tanah Merah MRT is slated to become an interchange linking the East-West Line with the Thomson-East Coast Line by the mid-2030s, which would meaningfully improve access to Changi Airport, Expo, and the future Changi Terminal 5 as part of the wider Changi East transformation.
Why Ten Developers Fought Over This Particular Plot
Analysts have flagged this as likely the last available greenfield residential site directly beside Tanah Merah MRT — a scarcity factor that helped draw ten competing bids, the highest number for a GLS site since 2021. Allgreen’s winning bid narrowly beat Hoi Hup Realty’s S$462.8 million offer by less than half a percent, with additional bids from consortiums involving Hong Leong Holdings, Wing Tai Holdings, and Roxy-Pacific Holdings. For context on how land costs like this eventually flow into what buyers actually pay, our breakdown of how home construction and renovation costs are trending in 2026 covers a similar dynamic on the residential side of the market — rising input costs upstream tend to show up in final pricing downstream, whether that’s a new condo or a home renovation.
What Nearby Comparable Projects Suggest About Future Pricing
Sceneca Residence, a nearby 268-unit project that launched in January 2023 and has since fully sold out, is currently transacting at a median of roughly S$2,065 per square foot, with older resale units in the surrounding area ranging from S$1,481 to S$2,003 psf. Given the S$1,330 psf ppr land cost on this new site — a new benchmark for the Bedok area — property analysts have suggested a likely future launch price in the S$2,300 to S$2,700 psf range once the project is ready for sale, tentatively expected around the second half of 2027.
