Dorset Gardens(Updated 2026)

Dorset Gardens is an upcoming 99-year leasehold private condominium at Dorset Road in District 8, on the city fringe next to Farrer Park MRT station. Building plan approval covers 425 homes, with a swimming pool, a sky terrace and communal facilities. The developer has not confirmed the number of blocks or the storey height. The site was won at a Government Land Sales tender by United Venture Development (2022) Pte. Ltd., a joint venture of UOL Group, Singapore Land Group and Kheng Leong.

The registered developer is United Venture Development (2022) Pte. Ltd. Behind that entity sit three names: UOL Group Limited, its listed subsidiary Singapore Land Group, and Kheng Leong Company, the Wee family’s privately held property arm. At the tender the partners described the venture as a 60:20:20 split; UOL’s later results presentations describe the same arrangement as 80:20 because UOL and Singapore Land are counted together. Read more on the developer page.

The approved building plan is for 425 units. Earlier figures circulated before approval — 428 units at the tender announcement, and 430 in some database extracts — because the scheme was refined between winning the land and lodging the plan. We publish 425 because it is the most recent and the most authoritative figure available. The number of blocks and the storey height have not been confirmed by the developer, so we do not publish them.

Farrer Park station on the North East Line sits roughly 330 metres from the site, which is a walk of about four to five minutes. From there it is two stops to Dhoby Ghaut for the North South and Circle lines, three to Clarke Quay, and four to Chinatown. Full detail is on the location page and in our Farrer Park MRT guide.

Three primary schools fall within the one-kilometre priority band: Farrer Park Primary School, Hong Wen School and St Joseph’s Institution Junior. Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Bendemeer Primary School and St Margaret’s School (Primary) sit in the one-to-two-kilometre band. Distances should be confirmed against the official MOE school-distance query before you rely on them for registration. See our school catchment guide.

UOL indicated a launch target in the first half of 2027 in its 2026 half-year results. No launch date, preview date or price list has been published. Registering on this site puts you in the queue for the VVIP preview, so the price list reaches you when it is released rather than after it circulates. Book through the showflat appointment page.

The approved building plan gives an expected completion date of the second quarter of 2030, with the permit issued in June 2026. Expected completion dates on a new launch are indicative and can move; the binding dates are the ones written into the Sale and Purchase Agreement at the point of booking.

The unit mix has not been released. With 425 homes on a site of roughly 111,934 square feet at a plot ratio of 3.5, a spread from one-bedroom to four- and five-bedroom layouts is the pattern this kind of city-fringe scheme usually follows, but we will not publish a mix until the developer issues one. The floor plan page is where the layouts will appear.

Yes. Dorset Gardens is private non-landed housing, so there is no citizenship restriction of the kind that applies to a new executive condominium. Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty does apply and varies sharply by buyer profile — nil for a Singapore Citizen buying a first home, 5% for a permanent resident buying a first home, 60% for a foreigner and 65% for an entity. The full tables are on the stamp duty page.

United Venture Development bid S$524,300,800 for the Dorset Road parcel, which works out to about S$1,338 per square foot per plot ratio. Nine bidders competed, an unusually deep field for a 2025 tender. We do not publish an expected selling price: analyst estimates circulate, but no price list exists yet, and quoting a number that has not been issued would mislead. Register on the pricing page and you will receive the real figures when they are out.
