Questions people ask me
When will Sembawang Road EC launch?
PropNex's launch calendar (as of 7 October 2026) targets a preview in February 2027, and its project ebook (October 2026) gives an indicative launch in the first quarter of 2027, subject to the developer's confirmation. Oriental Pacific hasn't announced dates yet.
Who is developing Sembawang Road EC, and what did the land cost?
Oriental Pacific Development. The land cost $197.8 million, or $692 per square foot per plot ratio (Sep 2025). PropNex estimates the developer's breakeven at about $1,277 psf; launch prices are usually set above breakeven.
Which primary school is nearest to Sembawang Road EC?
Eight primary schools are within about 2 km. Measured in a straight line on OneMap from each school to the site's outline, Ahmad Ibrahim is within 1 km of the whole site, Yishun Primary is within 1 km of most of it, and Jiemin and Sembawang Primary are right around the 1 km line. MOE measures from the school's boundary to each block, so check the exact distance on OneMap once the addresses are out.
Who can buy Sembawang Road EC?
As an executive condominium, it's sold to Singapore Citizen households within an income ceiling, with first-timers given priority. Its land tender closed before 8 May 2026, so the tighter EC rules announced that day (a 10-year minimum occupation period, no Deferred Payment Scheme, 90% of units for first-timers) don't cover it: they apply to EC sites whose tenders closed on or after that date. The household income ceiling for this project is $16,000 a month; the new $18,000 ceiling applies to EC sites whose tenders closed from 24 August 2026. I can check whether you qualify.
