Woodlands EC Price Analysis: 2026 Forecast
A deep-dive into the pricing fundamentals of the Woodlands Drive 17 parcels—one of the final projects to offer legacy payment flexibility.
Strategic Exemption: Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) Available
Unlike projects subject to the 8th May 2026 measures, the Woodlands EC developers (CDL and Sim Lian) **can still offer the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS)**. This allow HDB upgraders to manage cash flow effectively during construction.
With the record-breaking land bid of $794 PSF PPR by Sim Lian Group, the Woodlands property market has reached a new benchmark. However, the retention of the 5-year MOP and DPS eligibility makes Woodlands Drive 17 a more attractive entry point than pure private condos ($2,200+ PSF) or future restricted ECs.
| Parcel / Project | Developer | Land Cost (PSF PPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel 1 (Drive 17) | City Developments Ltd (CDL) | $782 |
| Parcel 2 (Drive 17) | Sim Lian Group | $794 |
Estimated Launch PSF
$1,850 - $2,000
Reflecting benchmark land costs and legacy regime demand premiums.
3-Bedroom Quantum
~$1.8M+
Estimated entry for a 950 sqft unit. Eligible for Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS).
