2026–2027 Launch Pipeline
What is launching, what has already sold out, and how the rules changed in May 2026 — a dated, honest picture, updated as at July 2026.
The Landscape
Singapore’s developers are launching around 20 private projects — plus about five ECs, some 9,000 units in all — across 2026, mostly in the suburban Outside Central Region. Woodlands, Bukit Panjang, Yishun and Sembawang all feature, several for the first time in a decade or more.
Demand is proven, not promised. Rivelle Tampines EC sold 92.5% of its 572 units on its first booking weekend in March 2026 at a median of S$1,937 psf, and was fully sold within a month — the fastest-selling EC of 2026 to date. Aurelle of Tampines did the same in March 2025: about 90% gone on launch weekend at roughly S$1,766 psf average, sold out inside a month.
I flag those precisely because they are gone. The next wave is below — four projects, each with verified, dated facts on its own page.
Featured Projects
Two city-fringe condos and four executive condos — all pre-launch as at July 2026, each with verified, dated facts on its own page.
The former Thomson View Condominium, redeveloped by UOL Group, SingLand and CapitaLand Development after a S$810 million collective sale. Upper Thomson MRT (TEL) is roughly 230–430m away; preview expected Q3 2026.
Thomson Reserve details
Two adjacent plots that set back-to-back EC land-rate records — CDL at S$782 psf ppr, then Sim Lian at S$794. Both keep the old 5-year MOP rules, near Woodlands South MRT and the future RTS Link.
Woodlands EC details
CDL’s S$252.9 million bid (S$771 psf ppr, awarded 26 Aug 2025) secured Bukit Panjang’s first EC in about 15 years — roughly 300 units under the old 5-year MOP framework, a combination HDB upgraders watch closely.
Solano Grand details
The follow-up to The Chuan Park, which sold ~76% on launch day in 2024 — proof of demand around Lorong Chuan. Roughly 1,055 units expected; pricing and unit mix are confirmed only at the official preview.
Chuan Grove details
The cycle's lowest EC land rate (S$692 psf ppr) and smallest unit count — a compact, scarce project minutes from Sun Plaza, under the old 5-year MOP framework.
Sembawang Road EC details
Hoi Hup–Sunway's S$340.9M (S$732 psf ppr) site in a quiet enclave beside Orchid Country Club — greenery and space, with the old 5-year MOP rules locked in.

The ECs that set the pace: Rivelle Tampines (572 units; fully sold within a month of its March 2026 booking), Aurelle of Tampines (760 units; fully sold within a month of its March 2025 launch), and Coastal Cabana in Pasir Ris (~66% sold by late January 2026). The next EC window is the four old-rules ECs above.
Executive Condos
On 8 May 2026, MND announced the biggest EC overhaul since 2013: every project whose land tender closes on or after that date gets a longer MOP, later privatisation, no deferred payment option and a much larger first-timer quota. Tenders closed before the cut-off keep the old framework.
| Rule | Old regime — tenders closed before 8 May 2026 | New regime — tenders closing on/after 8 May 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) | 5 years from TOP | 10 years from TOP |
| Resale to SC/PR buyers | After the 5-year MOP | After the 10-year MOP |
| Full privatisation (foreigners & entities may buy) | 10 years | 15 years |
| Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) | Available | Abolished — Normal Payment Scheme only |
| First-timer quota | 70% of units, reserved for 1 month | 90% of units, reserved for 2 years |
Why this matters now. Five pipeline ECs closed their tenders before the cut-off and keep the old 5-year MOP rules: Solano Grand, Sembawang Road, Miltonia Close, and both Wynwood Grand plots. As at July 2026, these are the last new ECs you can sell after five years instead of ten — a genuine, dated advantage no future EC site will offer.

Know Your Regions
Region labels genuinely affect price, supply and buyer profile. Here is the quick version, with where the 2026–27 pipeline sits.
| Region | What it covers | Character | 2026–27 supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCR — Core Central Region | Districts 9, 10, 11, the Downtown Core and Sentosa | Prime and luxury addresses; the highest psf in the country | Thin — mostly boutique projects |
| RCR — Rest of Central Region | City-fringe districts such as Thomson (D20), Lorong Chuan (D19) and Tanjong Rhu (D15) | The upgrader middle ground: near town, still family-priced | Several headline launches, incl. Thomson Reserve and Chuan Grove Residences |
| OCR — Outside Central Region | Suburban heartlands — Woodlands, Bukit Panjang, Tampines, Yishun, Sembawang | Most affordable entry; all new ECs sit here | The bulk of 2026–27 supply, incl. all five old-rule EC sites |
The pattern this cycle: the most-watched condo launch (Thomson Reserve) is RCR, while almost everything else — every EC included — sits in the OCR. On a S$1.6–2.2 million budget, the heartland launches are where your shortlist lives.
Common Questions
The headline second-half launches include Thomson Reserve in District 20 (about 1,240 units, preview expected in Q3), Chuan Grove Residences in Lorong Chuan (about 1,055 units) and Lentor Gardens Residences in District 26 (499 units). Four executive condos — Solano Grand, Sembawang Road and the two Wynwood Grand plots — follow from late 2026 into 2027.
Register interest early, visit the preview, then submit a booking form with a signed blank cheque for the 5–10% booking fee before the cut-off. The developer issues ballot numbers and calls buyers in sequence on booking day to choose their units. Popular stacks go first, so register early and shortlist several units as backups.
Yes — foreigners may buy new private condominiums, but a 60% Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty applies to any residential purchase (as at July 2026; certain FTA nationalities are treated as citizens). Foreigners cannot buy new executive condos; ECs open to foreign buyers only after full privatisation, at least 10 years on.
The household income ceiling for a new executive condo is S$16,000 a month, unchanged in Budget 2026 (the BTO ceiling is S$14,000). You must also form a family nucleus with at least one Singapore Citizen applicant and not have owned or disposed of private property in the past 30 months.
Neither is universally better. New launches offer progressive payments, brand-new fittings and developer warranties, but typically cost 15–30% more per square foot than nearby resale. Resale gives immediate occupancy or rental income, and you see exactly what you are buying. The right choice depends on your timeline, cash flow and risk comfort.
No. On developer sales, the agency fee is paid by the developer, so my advice, shortlisting, ballot strategy and paperwork support cost you nothing directly. Pricing is identical whether you walk in alone or with me — the difference is having someone on your side of the table.
