Holland Plain: A Location Guide to the Bukit Timah GLS Condo
Holland Plain is a rare large Government Land Sales parcel in prime District 10, off Old Holland Road in the Bukit Timah area — and at roughly 3.42 hectares with an estimated yield of around 610 homes, it is one of the more significant prime-district releases of the cycle. The upcoming 99-year leasehold private condominium here would bring meaningful new supply to a tightly held part of the island, close to Holland Village, the Bukit Timah greenery and the one-north research corridor. This guide sets out the location and connectivity on verified facts, and is careful about what the early tender signal does and does not tell us.
This is a GLS site that has not been awarded, so the developer, pricing, unit mix and launch date are to be confirmed. A sole bid has been reported (more on that below), but a reported bid is not an appointment. Confirmed details will appear on our price page when they are official.
Where is Holland Plain?
Holland Plain sits off Old Holland Road in the Bukit Timah area of District 10, one of Singapore's established prime residential districts. The setting blends low-rise landed neighbourhoods, good schools and pockets of nature, while staying within a short hop of the Holland Village lifestyle enclave and the Circle Line. For buyers, the appeal is a green, settled address with strong fundamentals rather than a high-footfall location.
Connectivity: the Downtown Line and Circle Line within reach
| Station | Line | Distance / role |
|---|---|---|
| King Albert Park MRT | Downtown Line | Nearest station, roughly a 10–15 minute walk |
| Sixth Avenue MRT | Downtown Line | Within roughly 1.5 km |
| Holland Village MRT | Circle Line | A short drive away |
The Downtown Line is the workhorse here: from King Albert Park it runs directly toward Newton, Little India, Bugis and the Downtown CBD in one direction, and out toward Bukit Panjang in the other. The Circle Line at Holland Village adds a second corridor toward one-north, Buona Vista and the city fringe. For drivers, Holland Road gives a quick run toward Orchard, and the area's road network links to the PIE and AYE.
Schools: a core strength of District 10
Holland Plain's school catchment is one of its strongest cards — a cluster of established names within reach. Confirm exact distances on the MOE school finder, as Primary One priority depends on the home-to-school band:
- Methodist Girls' School (Primary and Secondary) — within roughly 1 km.
- Henry Park Primary School — within roughly 2 km.
- Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School — within roughly 2 km.
- Hwa Chong Institution and National Junior College — within roughly 2 km.
A prime-district site with Methodist Girls' within about 1 km and two of the country's best-known junior colleges nearby is a strong proposition for education-focused families — and that demand tends to underpin resale interest over time.
Lifestyle: Holland Village, greenery and one-north
| Destination | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Holland Village | The dining, café and lifestyle enclave, nearby |
| King Albert Park (KAP) and Bukit Timah Plaza | Everyday shops, eateries and a supermarket a short hop away |
| Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Rail Corridor | Greenery and trails within reach for the outdoors |
| one-north and Buona Vista | The research, business and tech corridor a short drive away |
| Orchard Road | A quick drive along Holland Road |
The mix is distinctive: a genuinely green, low-rise prime district that also sits within easy reach of one-north's employment base — useful for households where someone works in the research, biomedical or tech sectors.
Reading the early tender signal carefully
Reports indicate the Holland Plain tender drew a single bid, from Sim Lian Group, at roughly S
A reported sole bid is the land-cost signal, not a confirmed appointment, and certainly not a unit price. A single bid can reflect the site's size and the capital required as much as the level of demand. Until the award is confirmed, treat the developer as to be confirmed.
We will not translate a reported land bid into a launch price. When the site is awarded and the developer releases pricing, the official figures will go on the price page, with the floor plans and e-brochure following.
