What is Canberra Drive EC?

Canberra Drive EC is an upcoming executive condominium on a 99-year leasehold Government Land Sales site in Sembawang, bounded by Canberra Drive and Jalan Sendudok. The 11,535 sqm parcel can yield about 185 homes. HDB opened the tender on 26 May 2026 and it closed at 12 noon on 1 October 2026 with 13 bids; per HDB's published tender results, the top bid was S$825 psf ppr from a consortium of SNC3 Realty, HS Invesco and Kay Lim Realty. HDB has not yet announced the award, and no home price or floor plan has been released. It is the first EC site tendered under the rules of 8 May 2026, so it carries a 10-year minimum occupation period, no Deferred Payment Scheme and 90% of units reserved for first-timer families for two years. Because its tender closes after 24 August 2026, it also falls under the S$18,000 household income ceiling announced at the National Day Rally on 23 August 2026.

Last updated 14 October 2026. Anything the developer decides is marked on this site as not yet released.

Latest update

HDB publishes the provisional tender results: all 13 bids itemised

HDB's press release, dated 1 October 2026, lists every bidder and bid for the Canberra Drive EC site. The top bid is confirmed at S$163,903,000, which HDB states as S$8,880.26 per square metre of gross floor area, or S$825 psf ppr, from SNC3 Realty, HS Invesco and Kay Lim Realty. The 13 bids run from that figure down to S$71.7 million from Sim Lian. HDB calls the results provisional because the award has not been announced; the developer is confirmed only when it is. The full table, with every bid converted to psf ppr and the gap to the top bid, is on the tender result page. Home prices, floor plans and the launch date remain unannounced.

The first EC under the new policy

On 8 May 2026 the government made the biggest changes to the EC scheme in over a decade. They apply to sites whose tenders close from that date, and Canberra Drive is the first of them. Separately, on 23 August 2026 the household income ceiling was raised to S$18,000 a month for EC sites whose tenders close from 24 August, which also covers Canberra Drive.

How long you hold an EC, before and after 8 May 2026 Earlier ECs had a five-year minimum occupation period and full privatisation ten years after TOP. Canberra Drive EC has a ten-year minimum occupation period and full privatisation fifteen years after TOP. Earlier EC projects Minimum occupation 5 years Fully private 10 years after TOP Canberra Drive EC Minimum occupation 10 years Fully private 15 years after TOP
Each block is one year. The rules apply to EC sites whose tenders close from 8 May 2026.

Buy to live, not to flip

For 10 years after you collect keys you cannot sell, rent out the whole unit, or buy another residential property.

Pay as it is built

Without the Deferred Payment Scheme you pay in stages during construction. Plan the loan and CPF early.

First-timers go first

Nine in ten units are held for first-timer families for two years, so second-timers compete for the rest.

What the new EC policy means for you
