Singapore Executive Condominiums

The Last ECs
Under Old Rules.

As of today, all future EC land sites carry a 10-year MOP and no Deferred Payment Scheme. The 4 upcoming launches are the final ECs governed by the original framework — 5-year MOP, DPS available, and 10-year full privatisation. This window closes permanently.

Canberra MRT (NSL) Waterway Setting Sembawang Hot Spring Bukit Canberra 3,500 MOP Flats Nearby Canberra Plaza

Singapore's first low-rise EC concept — intimate blocks along Sungei Simpang Kiri waterway, surrounded by landed homes. Most affordable entry price of the four. 3,500 HDB flats hitting MOP in the Yishun/Sembawang corridor by 2029 create deep upgrader demand.

The Investment Case

Why These 4 ECs Will Sell Out

The rule changes are the most significant EC policy shift since 2019. Here is exactly why demand for these legacy-rule ECs will be overwhelming.

01
MOP Doubles — Permanently
From today, all new EC GLS sites carry a 10-year MOP. These 4 are the last with a 5-year MOP — a full decade difference in liquidity. Every buyer who wants the shorter hold period must choose from this pool only.
02
DPS Abolished Forever
~60% of EC buyers currently use DPS — paying only 20% upfront. These 4 are the last ECs where DPS is available. Future launches require full progressive payment, dramatically increasing cashflow pressure for upgraders.
03
Proven Sellout Track Record
Aurelle of Tampines (100% sold). Novo Place (100% sold). Otto Place — fully subscribed. North Gaia — fully sold by early 2026. EC demand has never been higher and supply is constrained to these 4 projects.
04
3,500 MOP Upgraders by 2029
An estimated 3,500 HDB flats in the Yishun and Sembawang corridors will reach their 5-year MOP between 2026 and 2029 — a massive pool of ready upgraders looking for exactly this product near their current homes.
05
Infrastructure Transformation
The JB-Singapore RTS Link is operational. The Thomson–East Coast Line connects Woodlands South MRT directly to Orchard. The North-South Corridor opens in 2026. All 4 ECs sit in Singapore's most dynamic growth corridor.
06
20–30% Below Private Condos
Private new launches regularly exceed $2,000 psf. These ECs are estimated at $1,400–$1,950 psf with full condo facilities, CPF usage, and government-subsidised land. The value gap versus private has never been wider.
