Executive Condos (ECs) have become the talk of the town — and for good reason. Blending private-condo luxury with government subsidies, ECs remain one of the most attractive entry points into Singapore’s private housing market. As 2025 unfolds, new EC launches are sparking strong interest from first-time homeowners and HDB upgraders alike.
Why ECs Are Still the Smart Buy in 2025
- Lower Entry Price: ECs are priced around 20–30% below comparable private condos, giving buyers more room for appreciation.
- Full Facilities: Modern ECs come with everything from infinity pools to co-working lounges — the same amenities found in top private developments.
- Private After 10 Years: Once fully privatised, ECs often see a strong resale uplift as restrictions are lifted.
Upcoming EC Launches to Watch
Keep your eyes on these highly anticipated projects:
- Lumina Grand EC (Bukit Batok West Ave 5) – CDL’s next blockbuster near Tengah Park MRT, expected launch in early 2025.
- Tampines EC (Tampines St 62) – Sim Lian’s East-side gem with strong connectivity via the upcoming CRL.
- Plantation Close EC (Tengah) – A green, car-lite township concept in the making, perfect for young families.
Each of these developments promises modern design, strategic location, and excellent value — but ballot slots are limited.
