As of 10 Nov 2026, we know of six new launches due in Singapore from January to March 2027: four condos, Chencharu Central Residences in District 27, One Chuan Grove in District 19, Lentor Signature in District 26 and The River Opus in District 10, and two Executive Condominiums (ECs), Solano Grand in District 23 and Wynwood Grand in District 25. Other launches, big or small, may also come up in the same months. A new launch suits buyers with no flat to sell, who pay far less a month while it's being built than a resale buyer pays from day one; for some HDB upgraders, the two moves, about three years of rent, or the ABSD if they buy first make a resale condo the better fit.

Which new launches are coming in early 2027?

We're tracking six, with previews and bookings from January to March 2027: four condos and two ECs. Our launches page lists every launch we follow.

The developers:

What does an HDB upgrader face if they buy a new launch?

Two moves and about three years of rent, if they sell the flat first. Sell the HDB first or buy the condo first compares the two orders. Most HDB upgraders sell first, because then the condo counts as their first property and there's no ABSD. But a new launch takes years to build, and none of these six has a TOP date yet, so we've assumed about three years. You sell the flat, move out, rent for about three years, and move again when you collect keys.

How much rent would you pay while waiting?

A lot: about three years of rent on a flat near the launch until it's ready, on top of the two moves. How much depends on the area and the size of flat you rent. HDB publishes median rents by town and flat type on data.gov.sg, so you can check the going rate near the launch you like.

HDB's temporary extension of stay won't help here. It lets you stay on in the flat you sold for up to three months. It only applies if the home you're moving to is already completed, not still being built.

Can you buy a new launch before selling your HDB flat?

Yes, if your flat's MOP is done and you're a married couple with a Singapore Citizen. You can then stay in the flat while the launch is built. You pay 20% ABSD upfront, and IRAS refunds it if you sell the flat within six months of TOP or CSC. While your HDB loan is still running, the bank lends you noticeably less, so you need more cash and CPF upfront. How much exactly depends on your age, income and loan tenure. Sell the HDB first or buy the condo first sets out IRAS's other conditions.

Can an HDB owner buy an EC before selling the flat?

Yes. If you own an HDB flat and buy a new EC, HDB gives you six months from collecting the EC keys to complete the sale of your flat, so you can stay in the flat while the EC is built and move once. With a Singapore Citizen in the purchase, there's no ABSD on a new EC unit. For Solano Grand and Wynwood Grand, your household income must be within HDB's income ceiling for ECs. Both sites were tendered before HDB raised the ceiling in Aug 2026, so the older, lower ceiling applies. If you've had an HDB subsidy before, such as a BTO flat or a housing grant, you may pay a resale levy on the EC, and in the first month after launch you share the 30% of units not kept for first-timers. If you've had two subsidies, you can't buy an EC.

What if you have no flat to sell?

You move once, pay no extra rent while the launch is built, and, as a Singapore Citizen buying your first home, pay no ABSD. None of the upgrader's problems above apply to you. You stay where you are, at your parents' place or in your rented flat, until you collect keys, and with no other housing loan, the bank can lend you the most it allows for your age and income.

Why does a new launch suit buyers with nothing to sell?

Four reasons: a much smaller instalment while it's being built, more of the lease ahead, no reno, and being the first owner.

How much do you pay each month while a new launch is being built?

Much less than a resale buyer in the early years. With a new launch, you pay in stages as the building goes up, under the progressive payment scheme. Your own share, from cash and CPF, goes in first. After that the bank pays out in stages too, and you pay instalments only on what it has paid out so far, so the early months cost much less than a resale loan that starts in full from day one.

The stages below are the ones every developer's sale agreement follows. The months are typical; the real dates follow the developer's construction.

Stage Typical month Paid so far
Sign the S&P 2 20%
Foundation done 6 30%
Concrete frame done 12 40%
Partition walls done 18 45%
Roof and ceiling done 24 50%
Doors, windows, wiring and plumbing done 28 55%
Car park, roads and drains done 30 60%
TOP 36 85%
Legal completion 48 100%

Your instalment grows with each stage. If you're still renting while it's built, that instalment comes on top of your rent. The full instalment starts around TOP and legal completion. Because your loan tenure usually starts at the bank's first payout, you repay the full loan over fewer months, so it can end up a little higher than a resale buyer's.

What you'd pay at each stage depends on the price, your age, your income and your loan tenure, so we don't quote one here. Tell us what you're looking at and we'll work out your own figures with you.

How much of the lease is left?

Almost all of it. A 99-year lease starts around when the developer buys the land, not when you collect keys, so a few years are gone by TOP. A new launch still has far more of its lease ahead than a resale condo that's 10 or 20 years old. Chencharu Central Residences, One Chuan Grove, Lentor Signature and the two ECs are all on 99-year leases. The River Opus is different: its land is held for 999 years from 1877.

Do you need to renovate?

No. A resale buyer usually spends money and a few months on reno before moving in, and our own-stay guide counts that reno as money they don't get back. With a new launch, everything is new when you collect keys, so you keep that money.

Being the first owner

Nobody has lived in your unit before you, and its price history starts with you.

What changes day to day when you move into a new condo?

You get facilities only residents can use, landscaped grounds, and a guardhouse that keeps the residential grounds to residents and their guests, so the pool, gym and courts you might otherwise pay a club for are downstairs. In a new launch they're unused when you collect keys.

The pictures below are from two projects that have already launched, not from the six we're tracking, as examples of what developers build.

Here's what the developers' preliminary plans list so far for the six we're tracking. The plans may change before each launch.

  • One Chuan Grove: two full-glass padel courts, two golf simulator bays, a competition-size tennis court, an outdoor pickleball court, a 1,300 sq ft gym, a pilates studio, a dance and yoga studio, a swimming pool, an 800m jogging path, Asian and Western private dining rooms, a grand ballroom and BBQ pavilions. The landscape is by Tinderbox, and there are seven shops and a childcare centre on site.
  • The River Opus: on River Valley Road, along the Singapore River, as Frasers Property's 30 Sep 2026 press release puts it, with a 184-unit Fraser Suites serviced residence, a supermarket and about 25 shops on site. The landscape is by SHMA Designs and the interiors by Atelier Ikebuchi.
  • Chencharu Central Residences: HDB describes the site as "a Commercial and Residential Development integrated with a Bus Interchange and a Hawker Centre", so you'd have a bus interchange and a hawker centre within the development.
  • Lentor Signature: the landscape is by Ortus Design.
  • Solano Grand and Wynwood Grand: no facility plans are out yet.

What should you check if you're buying a new launch to rent out?

Three things: how much lease it has left, how new it is, and who will rent it. A new launch does well on the first two. For the third, look at what's near each site, such as MRT stations, offices and schools. ABSD for a Singapore Citizen's second home is 20%. Only the four condos fit this plan, because you can't rent out a whole EC unit during its 5-year MOP.

Should HDB upgraders buy a new launch or a resale?

For most upgraders, a resale condo is the better move. It's already built. You can sell and buy within a few months, and HDB's extension of stay can cover the gap if your buyer agrees. Selling the flat after its MOP means no Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) on it, because the MOP is at least five years and SSD stops after four. But the condo you buy starts its own SSD clock: sell it within four years and you pay SSD of 16% of the price in the first year, falling to 4% in the fourth. If the dates line up, you move once and pay no rent. Our own-stay guide shows what a resale condo really costs and how past resale buyers fared. It has a calculator for your own numbers. To compare layouts across projects, use the floor-plan search. If you're set on a new launch, an EC lets you move once, but check first whether a resale levy applies to you.

Common questions

Which of the early-2027 launches are ECs?

Solano Grand in District 23 and Wynwood Grand in District 25. The other four are private condos.

When is One Chuan Grove's preview?

One Chuan Grove's expected preview is 13 Feb 2027, and its expected booking day is 27 Feb 2027. Both are the developer's current targets and may change.

Can I buy a new launch before selling my HDB flat?

Yes, if your flat's MOP is done and you're a married couple with a Singapore Citizen. You pay 20% ABSD upfront and IRAS refunds it if you sell the flat within six months of TOP or CSC. While your HDB loan is still running, the bank lends you noticeably less, so you need more cash and CPF upfront. Sell the HDB first or buy the condo first has the full conditions.

How much is the monthly instalment while a new launch is being built?

Much less than a resale loan at first. The bank pays out in stages as the building goes up, and you pay instalments only on what it has paid out. The full instalment starts around TOP and legal completion. The exact amounts depend on the price, your age, your income and your loan tenure.

What facilities will One Chuan Grove have?

The developers' preliminary plans for One Chuan Grove list two full-glass padel courts, two golf simulator bays, a competition-size tennis court, a 1,300 sq ft gym, a swimming pool, an 800m jogging path, Asian and Western private dining rooms and a grand ballroom. The plans may change before the launch.

Do I need to sell my HDB flat to buy an EC?

Yes, but you can buy the EC first. HDB gives you six months from collecting the EC keys to complete the sale of your flat.
