New Launch Condos 2026–2027: What’s Coming (North-East Focus)

If you are tracking every new launch condo in 2026 and planning ahead for 2027, the north-east is worth a closer look. It has a large base of HDB upgraders, the North-East Line, and, from around 2030, the Cross Island Line running through Hougang. Yet genuinely new private supply in the core north-east towns has been thin.

This page rounds up what launched in 2026 in the north-east and east, what is expected next, and how to follow the pipeline yourself. It is written from the perspective of a buyer watching LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences), but useful for anyone comparing upcoming new launches in Singapore.

New launch condo 2026: what happened in the north-east and east

Information is accurate as of September 2026; we update this page when rules or figures change.

Three 2026 launches along the eastern side of the north-east corridor set the tone, based on publicly reported figures:

• JanCoastal Cabana EC, Pasir RisA 748-unit executive condominium at Jalan Loyang Besar by a consortium including Qingjian Realty. It sold 498 units (about 67%) over its 17–18 January 2026 launch weekend at an average of about S$1,734 psf, as reported.
• MarRivelle Tampines EC, TampinesSim Lian Group’s 572-unit EC near Tampines West MRT sold about 92.5% on its end-March launch weekend and was fully sold within about a month, as reported in April 2026.
• MarPinery Residences, TampinesA 588-unit private mixed-use project by Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway MCL, with a retail podium and a direct link to Tampines West MRT. It sold about 92.5% over its March 2026 launch weekend at an average of about S$2,546 psf, as reported.

Two of these are ECs, which have their own eligibility rules and are not the same product as a private condo. As of September 2026, ECs already on the market keep the S$16,000 household income ceiling, 5-year MOP and privatisation after 10 years; the higher S$18,000 ceiling (from 24 August 2026) and the stricter rules announced in May 2026 (10-year MOP, privatisation after 15 years) apply only to future EC sites whose tenders close on or after the relevant dates. Verify with HDB. Our explainer on whether LinkTown Residences is an EC sets out the difference (it isn’t one).

The takeaway for north-east buyers: well-located projects with transport and retail at the doorstep have drawn strong demand in 2026, including from HDB upgraders.

Upcoming new launch condo 2027: the north-east pipeline

Based on URA announcements, listed developers’ statements and media reports as at September 2026. Unit counts are estimates; launch timings are expected or targeted, not confirmed. Refreshed quarterly.

Chuan Grove

Two adjoining GLS plots at Chuan Grove, near Lorong Chuan MRT on the Circle Line, were both won in 2025 by a Sing Holdings and Sunway joint venture, which has received in-principle approval to amalgamate them. In February 2026, Sing Holdings described a large-scale development of more than 1,000 apartments with ancillary retail shops, with construction slated to start in the second half of 2026. Earlier market reports had pointed to a launch in the second half of 2026, but in April 2026 Sing Holdings flagged a planned sales launch by 1Q 2027. As of September 2026, we have not seen a reported launch, preview or price list. Lorong Chuan is one stop from Serangoon on the Circle Line, where it connects to the NEL.

LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central)

The Hougang Central GLS site was awarded in January 2026 to UOL, CapitaLand Development and CICT for S$1.5 billion (S$1,179 psf ppr). It is the first major mixed-use GLS site in Hougang in over a decade, with over 800 homes, a mall of about 300,000 sq ft NLA, a new bus interchange and a direct link to Hougang MRT (NE14), which is set to become an NEL–CRL interchange around 2030. UOL’s August 2026 results presentation lists the residential component as a 40:10:50 joint venture of UOL, Kheng Leong and CapitaLand Development, with CICT owning the commercial part. The launch is expected in early 2027 (UOL’s August 2026 results guide a 2H 2027 launch). Showflat and preview dates have not been announced as of September 2026. Analysts expect an average of about S$2,500–2,600 psf. Our launch timeline and price estimate go into detail.

Smaller sites to watch

The Lorong Puntong / Sin Ming Avenue site near Bright Hill, a future CRL–TEL interchange, was awarded to Eco World on 18 September 2026 for about S$208.1 million (about S$1,612 psf ppr) on a 99-year lease. Dorset Gardens, a UOL and Kheng Leong project of about 428 homes near Farrer Park MRT on the NEL, has a target launch in the first half of 2027. The Kitchener Link site, also near Farrer Park, is on the Reserve List, so it will only go to tender if a developer puts in an acceptable minimum bid; we had not seen a URA announcement of a successful application as of September 2026.

Upcoming new launches elsewhere in 2026–2027

If you are open to other regions, these were the reported targets as of September 2026:

• Thomson Reserve (Upper Thomson): a UOL and CapitaLand Development 50:50 joint venture of 1,268 homes next to Upper Thomson MRT, with a target launch in 4Q 2026, per UOL.
• Lentor Central (District 26): GuocoLand, Hong Leong Holdings and TID, about 562 homes, expected in 1H 2027 as reported.
• Tanjong Rhu Road (District 15): CDL and Woh Hup, about 525 homes, expected in 1H 2027 as reported.
• Dover Drive (District 5): a Qingjian Realty-led consortium, about 625 homes, expected in 1H 2027 as reported.
• Dairy Farm Walk (District 23): a consortium of smaller developers, about 480 homes, expected around Q1 2027 as reported.
• Woodlands Drive 17 EC (District 25): Sim Lian Group, about 560 homes, expected early to mid-2027 as reported.

Further out, URA’s second-half 2026 GLS Confirmed List (announced 3 June 2026) comprises eight private residential sites and one White site that can yield about 4,745 private homes (including 735 EC units), with sites such as Orchard Boulevard, Marina Gardens Lane, East Coast Road, Berlayar Close, the Town Hall Link White site in Jurong Lake District and an EC site at Jurong East Avenue 1. Those will feed launches from around 2027–2028.

Why north-east supply matters to buyers

• Limited fresh supply. Core north-east towns like Hougang have had few large new private launches in recent years; many buyers have chosen between resale condos and projects further afield.
• Upgrader demand. The north-east has a large HDB population. Hougang alone has about 230,000 residents.
• Rail upgrades. The CRL will turn Hougang into an interchange around 2030, while Bright Hill and Pasir Ris gain CRL links too. See our CRL Phase 1 stations guide.
• OCR pricing. Most of these projects sit in the Outside Central Region, where many HDB upgraders buy. See OCR, RCR and CCR explained and our condo prices 2026 guide for the latest URA index figures.

How to track upcoming launches yourself

1. Follow URA’s GLS programme. Twice a year, URA announces Confirmed and Reserve List sites. Winning bids usually become launches about a year or so later.
2. Read tender results. The land price (psf ppr) hints at the eventual selling price.
3. Read listed developers’ results. Presentations from groups such as UOL and Sing Holdings often give the clearest target launch windows.
4. Watch developer announcements. Preview dates, showflat openings and indicative prices usually come weeks before booking day.
5. Get your finances ready early. An In-Principle Approval, CPF check and cash for the 5% booking fee. Our home loan rates page has the latest dated figures.

For all the projects we cover, see our new launches page. If LinkTown Residences is on your shortlist, register your interest to hear about the preview and indicative prices when they are announced.
