Thirteen bids came in, the most for an EC site since 2018. The top bid of $163.9 million ($825 psf ppr) is a record land rate for an EC site, if it is awarded. PropNex estimates the breakeven at about $1,657 psf.
Sembawang Primary is about 640 m away.

Launch timing. The tender only closed on 1 October 2026, so a launch is still some way off.

EC rules. This is the first EC site put up for tender under the rules announced on 8 May 2026: a 10-year minimum occupation period instead of 5, no Deferred Payment Scheme, and 90% of units for first-time buyers. Its tender also closed after 24 August 2026, so the higher $18,000 monthly household income ceiling applies.
