New Launches

Eleven projects on my desk. Two or three are relevant to you.

Every agent will send you the full list. That isn't advice — it's a catalogue. What matters is which projects fit your budget, your timeline and your exit, and that shortlist is usually very short.

Market context

Why 2026 matters if you're upgrading

The single most important number this year isn't a price. It's the number of HDB flats reaching the end of their five-year Minimum Occupation Period — a sharp increase on last year, which puts a large wave of upgraders into the market at the same time.

That cuts both ways. More competition for the units you want, and more competition when you sell your flat. Whether it helps or hurts you depends on the gap between what you'd sell and what you'd buy, which is arithmetic specific to your household.

Supply is also uneven by region. Prime district launches are far fewer this year than last, while the suburbs carry most of the volume. If you're upgrading out of an HDB, that's where your options are.

Unit counts, developers and timelines are indicative, subject to change, and compiled from publicly available project information. I have deliberately left prices off this page — quoted figures go stale within weeks and an out-of-date number is worse than none. Ask me for the current position on any project.

Important if you're looking at an EC

The Executive Condominium rules changed in May 2026.

Several things moved at once — the Minimum Occupation Period, the deferred payment arrangement, and the first-timer allocation. If your plan was built on the old rules, it needs rechecking before you commit to anything.

Longer holding period

The MOP for new ECs was extended. That changes your exit timing and therefore your whole holding case.

Payment structure

The deferred payment option is no longer available on new units, which changes the cash you need up front.

Allocation priority

First-timer quotas and priority windows were adjusted, affecting your realistic odds of securing a unit.

How I'd assess any of them

A launch isn't good or bad. It's suitable or unsuitable.

Whichever project you're drawn to, I run it through the same four criteria I apply to every unit: quality at unit, project and location level; entry price against genuine comparables; who buys it from you in ten years; and en bloc potential as upside rather than a plan.

A launch that scores well for a cash-rich investor can score badly for an upgrader stretching to the top of their loan. Same building, different answer — which is why a catalogue is worth so little on its own.

Tell me your position. I'll tell you which two or three are worth your time.

Rather than a brochure dump, you'll get a short list with reasoning — including the ones I think you should rule out and why. If nothing in this year's pipeline suits you, I'll say that too.
