Which landed estates in the east allow you to build up to 3.5 storeys high?

In Singapore's east, several landed estates allow construction up to 3.5 storeys high, which is quite common for landed properties in Districts 15 and 16.

District 15 Areas

Siglap Estate is one of the prominent landed areas where 3.5-storey construction is typically permitted. Properties here often feature substantial land sizes and the flexibility for multi-generational living with the additional half-storey providing extra space for bedrooms or utility areas.

East Coast Road corridor also allows for 3.5-storey landed homes, particularly in the established residential pockets away from the main commercial stretch.

Frankel Estate offers opportunities for 3.5-storey development, with many properties in this freehold enclave taking advantage of the maximum allowable height for spacious family homes.

District 16 Areas

Bedok landed estates including areas around Upper East Coast Road commonly permit 3.5-storey construction. The current listings show several properties that have been built to this height specification.

Harvey Estate and Seabreeze Estate are notable examples where you'll find 3.5-storey bungalows that maximize the allowable building height for large multi-generational families.

Kew Estate and surrounding Bedok residential areas also typically allow 3.5-storey construction for landed properties.

The 3.5-storey configuration is particularly popular among families looking to maximize living space while staying within URA height restrictions. This design typically features ground floor living areas, second floor bedrooms, third floor additional bedrooms or study areas, and the half-storey often used for utility spaces, maids' quarters, or additional storage.

When considering any landed property for redevelopment to 3.5 storeys, it's essential to verify the specific plot ratio and building height restrictions with URA, as individual sites may have unique limitations despite being in areas that generally permit this height.
