How much land is left in Singapore?

As of 2023, Singapore has a total land area of 734.3 square kilometres (283.5 sq mi). Singapore is separated from Indonesia by the Singapore Strait and from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor.



As of 2026, Singapore remains one of the world's most land-constrained nations, with roughly 734 square kilometers of total land area. While the physical footprint is finite, the "leftover" land for development is managed through the Strategic Master Plan, which reclaimed nearly 25% of the island's current size over the last century. In 2026, the focus has shifted from outward expansion to "High-Fidelity" vertical and underground development. The Government Land Sales (GLS) program for 1H 2026 continues to release small, targeted plots—such as those in the Jurong Lake District and Kallang—aiming to yield approximately 4,575 new private homes. Significant land "reserves" are being unlocked by repurposing old industrial sites and moving military bases, such as the upcoming redevelopment of the Paya Lebar Air Base, which will free up 800 hectares of land for a new town in the coming decades, proving that in Singapore, land is not just "left," it is continuously reimagined.
