For those who’ve decided to buy a new home, there are quite a few new condo launches to choose from in 2021. Perhaps your HDB flat’s Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is about to be over and you’ll finally be able to sell it and upgrade to a new home. Or maybe you wish to take advantage of current low interest rates to move house or upgrade your home.
Whatever your reasons, 2021 is as good a year as any to make a fresh start. Here is the list of new launch condos and upcoming ECs to look out for from 2021 and beyond.
New Condo Launch 2021 Projects

Other Upcoming New Executive Condominium (EC) Launches in 2021/2022
Although the launch dates have not been released yet, there are a few other EC sites that have been snapped up by developers. If they are not ready as a new launch EC in 2021, they’ll likely be ready in 2022.
Yishun Avenue 9 EC
This upcoming EC by Sing Holdings in the Yishun area will be located about 500m from the Junction 9 shopping mall and two bus stops away from Northpoint City. The nearest MRT is Yishun MRT, which is about 20 minutes’ walk away and accessible by bus. It is located close to recreational facilities such as SAFRA Yishun Country Club, Orchid Country Club and Yishun Pond.
Tengah Garden Walk EC
This EC site was only just released in November 2020, so not much is confirmed in terms of the project and developer. We do know, however, that this upcoming EC will be located at Tengah Garden Walk, which is a new road that has yet to be built. The location is in the “forest town” part of Tengah, next to the Garden Vines @ Tengah BTO flats. There are expected to be around 615 EC units.
Tampines Street 62 EC
The Tampines Street 62 EC will be located close to Tampines Eco Green Park, and not far from IKEA Tampines and the recreational facilities at Pasir Ris including Downtown East. It is an affordable option for those who wish to live in a mature estate like Tampines with established amenities and food options.

CCR vs RCR vs OCR Projects in 2021
10 of the new condo launches slated for 2021 are in the Core Central Region (CCR) and three new launch condos are in the Rest of Central Region (RCR). The remaining six new launch condos will be in the Outside Central Region (OCR).
The few number of OCR projects may see stiffer competition. As the PropertyGuru Property Market Outlook 2021 report predicts, the market expects to see continued interest in affordable properties in the $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 range. This is due to increased price sensitivity amid the current economic situation, as well as a large market of HDB flat owners whose units are approaching MOP and may be looking to upgrade to private property. So far, private home prices have already risen by 3.3% in Q1 2021, which is the sharpest quarterly change since 2Q 2018.
