The 2026-2027 batch of condo completions reflects a unique period in Singapore’s property market. Many of these projects were launched during the post-Covid rebound in 2021-2022, when prices surged and demand outpaced supply. Back then, securing a unit often meant paying a premium, with some buyers even downsizing to a two-bedder just to lock in a purchase. Now, as TOP dates approach, buyers who want to move in quickly are weighing whether these soon-to-be-completed projects still offer value.
Here’s a look at seven condos that are set to TOP soon and are worth keeping an eye on:
1. Amo Residence Located at Ang Mo Kio Rise (District 20), Amo Residence launched in July 2022 and is slated for TOP in 2026. This 99-year leasehold project comprises 372 units, including spacious three- to five-bedroom layouts. Families will appreciate proximity to CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’, Ai Tong, and Ang Mo Kio Primary, as well as the expansive Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. Amo Residence also boasts private lift access for its larger units. Launch prices averaged around $2,100 psf, and early subsale data indicates strong returns, with many units achieving six-figure profits, demonstrating its value in a mature OCR location.
2. The Botany at Dairy Farm Slated for TOP in 2027, The Botany at Dairy Farm in District 23 is a 386-unit 99-year leasehold project. Surrounded by greenery, the higher-floor units offer unblocked views of Bukit Timah Reserve and Chestnut Drive landed homes. The project has family-friendly three- to five-bedroom layouts, and nearby amenities include Dairy Farm Mall with a FairPrice, food court, and childcare centre. A complimentary shuttle to Bukit Panjang MRT station ensures connectivity despite the slightly remote location. Early subsales are limited, but the project’s combination of unit sizes, greenery, and lifestyle amenities positions it well for future resale.
3. Blossoms by the Park Blossoms by the Park in District 5 is set for TOP in 2027 and has 275 units on a 99-year lease. Situated near One-North and Buona Vista, it benefits from proximity to tech and media hubs, as well as amenities like Rochester Mall and The Star Vista. The condo is within walking distance of Buona Vista MRT (EWL, CCL), making it convenient for commuters. Two- and three-bedroom units cater to owner-occupiers, with enclosed kitchens and study options. Launch prices started from the $2,200+ psf range. While the One-North area has more competition now than in previous years, Blossoms remains a versatile option for both renters and owners.
4. Watten House A freehold project in District 11, Watten House is launching in late 2023 and is expected to TOP in 2027. The 180-unit development focuses on family homes, offering three- to five-bedroom units with private lifts, 3.2m ceilings, and high-end finishes. Units range from 990 sq ft for three-bedders to 1,539 sq ft for three-bedroom + study layouts. Located near Nanyang Primary and Raffles Girls’ Primary, with Coronation Plaza and One Holland Village close by, Watten House caters to buyers seeking a premium family-oriented lifestyle in Bukit Timah. Launch prices were in the low to mid $3,000 psf range.
5. CanningHill Piers This 696-unit, 99-year leasehold project along River Valley Road (District 6) is part of the integrated CanningHill development and is set to TOP in late 2026. With direct access to Fort Canning MRT (DTL) and a short walk to Clarke Quay MRT (NEL), connectivity is excellent. Unit mixes lean toward smaller formats, making it attractive for singles, couples, and investors prioritising lifestyle. Launch prices started from around $2,800 psf, with many transactions reaching $3,000–$3,500 psf. Subsale activity shows strong interest, particularly in river-facing units.
6. Tembusu Grand Located along Jalan Tembusu in District 15, Tembusu Grand launched in April 2023 with 638 units on a 99-year leasehold. This project sits between Katong-Joo Chiat and Marine Parade, offering convenient access to eateries, Tanjong Katong MRT (TEL), and schools like Tanjong Katong Primary and Haig Girls’. Unit mixes focus on two- and three-bedroom layouts, with the smallest three-bedder at 990 sq ft featuring dry/wet kitchen separation. Launch prices averaged mid-$2,400 to low-$2,500 psf, striking a balance between premium freehold options and the larger Grand Dunman.
7. Grand Dunman Grand Dunman, launched in July 2023, is a 1,008-unit, 99-year leasehold development in District 15, making it the largest recent condo launch in the area. Located near Dakota MRT (CCL) and the Old Airport Road food enclave, it also enjoys proximity to Paya Lebar Quarter and Parkway Parade. Three-bedroom units make up over half the project, with dual-key options and premium features like private lifts, marble flooring, and steam rooms in larger units. Launch prices ranged mid-$2,400 to mid-$2,500 psf, offering a large-scale alternative to boutique projects nearby.
Final Take For buyers seeking near-ready new launches, these condos provide a range of options—from lifestyle-focused riverfront living to family-centric homes in mature neighbourhoods. Early resale data from projects like Amo Residence shows that strategic location and unit mix continue to drive strong returns, making these soon-to-TOP developments appealing for both owners and investors. Whether it’s proximity to MRT, schools, parks, or lifestyle hubs, these seven condos represent some of the best near-term opportunities for those looking to move in quickly.
