Holland Link GLS
New Launch Condo in Holland Plain, District 10

The Developer: Sim Lian Group

Holland Link GLS is developed by a joint venture of Sim Lian Land Pte Ltd and Sim Lian Development Pte Ltd – both subsidiaries of Sim Lian Group, one of Singapore’s most established property development and construction companies.

Sim Lian Group has over 40 years of experience building homes in Singapore across residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments. The group was recognised as a Top 10 developer in Singapore by BCI Asia in 2015 and 2016, and was listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange for 16 years from 2000 to 2016.

Their residential track record includes some of Singapore’s most well-known completed projects:

• Treasure at Tampines – 2,203 units, completed 2023, the largest condominium in Singapore by unit count
• Emerald of Katong – highly anticipated CCR new launch
• Aurelle of Tampines and Rivelle Tampines – recent executive condominium launches with strong take-up rates
• The Lincoln Residences – prime District 11 residential development
• Rochelle at Newton – established Newton corridor development
• Hillion Residences – integrated mixed-use development at Bukit Panjang
• Waterview – 696-unit completed development in Tampines

For Holland Link GLS, Sim Lian bid 22.2% above the second-place offer – a significant premium that signals deliberate intent to secure the first-mover position in the Holland Plain precinct. The margin reflects confidence in the site’s long-term value rather than a reactive bid, and is consistent with Sim Lian’s pattern of making bold, conviction-driven land acquisitions in locations with structural uplift.

Holland Link GLS will also be required to include an early childhood development centre within the development – a community-focused requirement that reflects URA’s vision for a liveable, family-friendly Holland Plain precinct.

Holland Link GLS and the Holland Plain Precinct Transformation

Holland Link GLS is the first private residential development to be awarded in the new Holland Plain precinct – a planned low-density residential enclave that will eventually comprise up to 8 GLS plots within the Bukit Timah Planning Area.

The Holland Plain precinct is bounded by Methodist Girls School and the Brizay Park Good Class Bungalow area to the north, the Holland Green Linear Park and Greenleaf landed housing estate to the south, the Rail Corridor to the west and landed housing at Garlick Avenue to the east. This means the precinct is genuinely surrounded by low-density residential and green uses on all sides – a rare planning outcome for a CCR site of this scale.

Under URA Master Plan 2025, the Holland Plain precinct is envisioned as a verdant, low-density residential enclave capitalising on its proximity to King Albert Park MRT and the 24km Rail Corridor. New developments in the precinct will comprise low to mid-rise buildings with integrated park spaces and green corridors – consistent with the landed estate character of the surrounding neighbourhood.

The precinct benefits from two significant infrastructure upgrades already locked into planning. First, King Albert Park MRT will become a dual-line interchange when the Cross Island Line opens around 2032, with a new CRL station exit planned within the north-west section of the Holland Plain precinct. Second, the Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor will run along the Bukit Timah Canal from the Sixth Avenue area toward Rochor in the city centre, adding a continuous green pedestrian and cycling artery to the neighbourhood.

For buyers who enter at Holland Link GLS, this means purchasing into a precinct that is in its first chapter – with infrastructure delivery, additional residential supply and rising profile still ahead rather than behind.

Holland Link GLS: Location and MRT Access

King Albert Park MRT – Downtown Line Today, Cross Island Line by 2032

Holland Link GLS is within walking distance of King Albert Park MRT station on the Downtown Line. The DTL provides direct access to:

• Sixth Avenue – 1 stop
• Tan Kah Kee – 1 stop (for Botanic Gardens and Hwa Chong)
• Botanic Gardens – 2 stops
• Stevens – 3 stops
• Newton – 4 stops
• Bugis, Marina Bay and the CBD – direct via DTL

The future Cross Island Line interchange at King Albert Park, expected around 2032, will significantly expand connectivity – linking residents westward to Clementi and Jurong Lake District, and eastward across to Ang Mo Kio and Pasir Ris without changing trains. A new CRL station exit is specifically planned within the north-west section of the Holland Plain precinct, bringing the interchange even closer to Holland Link GLS residents.

Driving and Road Access

Residents with vehicles benefit from quick access to major routes:

• Bukit Timah Road – connects directly to Newton, Orchard and the city centre
• Holland Road – connects to Holland Village, One Holland Village and Alexandra
• Pan Island Expressway (PIE) – east-west connectivity across Singapore
• Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) – connects to Woodlands and the north

Holland Link GLS: Schools

The Holland Plain location places Holland Link GLS within one of Singapore’s most established school belts. Families shortlisting this site typically do so with the following schools in mind:

Within 1km (Priority Registration Band)

• Methodist Girls School Primary – one of Singapore’s most sought-after girls’ primary schools, directly bordering the Holland Plain precinct to the north

Within 1 to 2km

• Henry Park Primary School
• Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School
• Raffles Girls Primary School
• Nanyang Primary School

Secondary and Post-Secondary

• Methodist Girls School Secondary
• Nanyang Girls High School
• Hwa Chong Institution
• National Junior College

Methodist Girls School Primary borders the Holland Plain precinct directly to the north – one of the most direct adjacencies between a primary school and a new launch site in Singapore. For families planning around MGS, this is not an approximation of proximity. It is structural.

Holland Link GLS: Lifestyle and Amenities

The Holland Link location combines the calm of a landed residential enclave with easy access to the lifestyle amenities that make Bukit Timah and Holland Village so consistently popular with families.

Nature and Green Spaces

• Rail Corridor – directly borders the Holland Plain precinct to the west. The 24km green trail runs from Tanjong Pagar Railway Station through Bukit Timah and out toward Woodlands – one of Singapore’s most cherished leisure corridors
• Holland Green Linear Park – borders the precinct to the south
• Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – a short drive or cycle away
• Singapore Botanic Gardens – 2 stops via DTL from King Albert Park MRT

Dining, Shopping and Daily Amenities

• Holland Village – a short drive via Holland Road. One of Singapore’s most vibrant lifestyle and dining enclaves, with Cold Storage, cafes, restaurants and boutique retail
• Sixth Avenue Centre – neighbourhood convenience along the Bukit Timah corridor
• The Grandstand – at Turf City, accessible via Bukit Timah Road
• King Albert Park Mall – neighbourhood mall at the MRT station
• Beauty World and Bukit Timah Shopping Centre – short drive via Bukit Timah Road

Neighbourhood Character

Holland Link GLS is surrounded on all sides by low-density residential uses – Good Class Bungalow areas, landed housing estates and green corridors. This creates a neighbourhood character that feels genuinely quiet and residential, even though the city centre is less than 15 minutes away by rail.

The 6-storey height cap on the development ensures that Holland Link GLS will be built in harmony with the surrounding low-rise character rather than in contrast to it. This is a meaningful distinction for families choosing between CCR new launches – and one that few comparable sites can offer.

Holland Link GLS: Investment and Rental

Expected Pricing

Based on the land cost of S$1,432 psf ppr and current construction cost benchmarks, analysts estimate Holland Link GLS will launch in the range of S$2,800 to S$3,000 psf for typical units. At S$2,900 psf, a 3-bedroom unit of approximately 1,000 sqft would translate to an all-in purchase price broadly in the range of S$2.9 million before stamp duties. Official pricing has not been released by Sim Lian.

For context, the nearby completed Dunearn House is expected to launch at S$2,400 to S$2,800 psf in Q3 2026. Holland Link GLS, with its low-rise exclusivity, GCB adjacency and MGS school belt positioning, is expected to price at a premium over comparable mid-rise CCR developments.

Rental Fundamentals

The Bukit Timah corridor consistently attracts expatriate tenant demand, driven by:

• Families with children attending MGS Primary, Henry Park, Raffles Girls Primary and other established schools in the corridor
• Expatriate families from international schools including those in the Bukit Timah and Holland areas
• Professionals who value the quiet residential environment and reliable MRT commute

Low-rise developments in established CCR enclaves have historically commanded rental premiums over comparably priced high-rise units due to the sense of exclusivity, lower density and proximity to nature. Holland Link GLS is well positioned to attract this premium tenant profile.

Holland Link GLS vs Dunearn House: Key Differences

Both sites are in the Bukit Timah corridor and are 99-year leasehold CCR new launches. The key differences are:

• District: Holland Link GLS is in District 10. Dunearn House is in District 11.
• Scale and density: Holland Link GLS is low-rise, maximum 6 storeys, approximately 230 units. Dunearn House is mid-rise, 5 blocks of 10 to 19 storeys, 380 units.
• MRT: Holland Link GLS is near King Albert Park MRT (DTL + future CRL). Dunearn House is near Sixth Avenue MRT (DTL + future Turf City CRL).
• Schools: Holland Link GLS is within 1km of MGS Primary. Dunearn House is within 1km of MGS Primary and within 1 to 2km of Raffles Girls Primary and Henry Park Primary.
• Character: Holland Link GLS offers a low-rise landed enclave feel adjacent to the Rail Corridor. Dunearn House offers a mid-rise urban residential feel within the Turf City transformation precinct.
• Timeline: Both are expected to launch in 2026 to 2027. Dunearn House launches Q3 2026 – the earlier option for buyers who want to act now.

Who Does Holland Link GLS Suit Best

1. Families planning for Methodist Girls School Primary

MGS Primary directly borders the Holland Plain precinct. For families where MGS is the target school, no other new launch in the Bukit Timah corridor offers this level of physical proximity combined with 1km priority registration access.

2. Buyers who want low-rise exclusivity

The 6-storey height cap creates a genuine landed enclave feel that is rare in CCR new launches. Families who want the lifestyle of a low-density neighbourhood without the cost or maintenance of a landed home will find Holland Link GLS a compelling alternative.

3. Nature and lifestyle-oriented families

Direct access to the Rail Corridor, Holland Green Linear Park and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve makes Holland Link GLS the strongest nature-facing option among the four Bukit Timah corridor new launches. Families who prioritise cycling, walking and outdoor routines as part of daily life will value this location highly.

4. GCB-adjacent prestige buyers

Being surrounded by Good Class Bungalow areas on the Brizay Park and Garlick Avenue sides adds a prestige dimension that is difficult to replicate. For buyers who value the address quality and neighbourhood character of GCB-adjacent living, Holland Link GLS is the most natural new launch option in this corridor.

5. Long-term investors targeting the Holland Plain precinct

With up to 8 GLS plots planned for the Holland Plain precinct, entering at the first site positions investors ahead of the full precinct delivery. As infrastructure matures, additional sites are released and the King Albert Park MRT interchange is completed by 2032, the Holland Plain precinct is expected to appreciate in profile and value.
