4 Upcoming Executive Condominium (EC) Launches For 2026

Executive Condominiums (ECs) are built by private developers, but only Singapore Citizens households are eligible for initial ownership. When Singaporeans buy an EC, they also qualify for CPF Housing Grants of up to $30,000. At the same time, applicants are constrained by the monthly household income ceiling of $16,000 – restricting the number of potential buyers – and must also reach the 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) before being allowed to sell or rent their homes. After 10 years, ECs are considered privatised and can be sold to anyone, even foreigners.

There were only two EC launches in all of 2025: Aurelle of Tampines and Otto Place. That might explain why demand was so high when Coastal Cabana EC launched in January this year, and Rivelle Tampines EC launched in March.

Coastal Cabana in Pasir Ris sold 67% of units at launch, at an average price of $1,734 psf. Not to be outdone, Rivelle Tampines sold 92.5% of units at launch, at an average price of $1,893 psf. This is reportedly the best EC launch performance since July 2017, when Hundred Palms Residences sold out at launch.

This pent-up EC demand will soon see 4 more targets, though realistically, we can expect only 2 or 3 more EC launches in 2026. None of the upcoming ECs has been named yet, so their launch date and other details are educated guesses.

#1 Senja Close EC

Developer CDL won the tender for this land parcel with a bid price of $252.9 million, which is about $771 psf per plot ratio. As the first EC in Bukit Panjang since Blossom Residences in 2011, it may attract substantial demand, especially from HDB upgraders in the region. However, access to the MRT network is limited, with the Jelapang LRT station on the Bukit Panjang LRT line being the closest. Jelapang LRT station is two stops away from Bukit Panjang MRT station.

Developer CDL expects the launch to comprise 302 units, pending approval from the authorities.

#2 Woodlands Drive 17 EC

Developer CDL won the tender for this land parcel with a bid price of $360.9 million, which is about $782 psf per plot ratio. At the time, it was a new psf record for EC sites. CDL won the bid by just 0.17% over Sim Lian, reflecting developers’ high expectations for this neighbourhood. Its proximity to Woodlands South MRT station, and the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) link is expected to contribute to the demand.

Developer CDL expects the launch to comprise 430 units, pending approval from the authorities.

#3 Sembawang Road EC

Developer Oriental Pacific Holdings, a new entity founded by Jane Lam, former director of JBE Holdings, placed the winning bid of $197.8 million for this land parcel. This comes up to about $692 psf per plot ratio. While the closest MRT station, Canberra, is quite a distance away, this location benefits from being sandwiched between the landed properties of Jalan Cherpen and the Chong Pang housing estate in Yishun West. It is also relatively close to the Sembawang Hot Spring Park.

The low-rise development is expected to comprise 265 units.

#4 Woodlands Drive 17 / Woodlands Avenue 12 EC

A second Woodlands Drive 17 land parcel recently closed in January. The winning bid came from developer Sim Lian, who had barely missed out on the other Woodlands Drive 17 site in 2025. Their bid of $484 million comes up to $794 psf per plot ratio, setting a new record for psf. This seems to cement the high expectations for demand for the Woodlands South area, with its proximity to the upcoming RTS link.

The development is expected to have about 560 units, though the launch is likely in the first half of 2027.
