What's new at Wynwood Grand EC

How much did CDL pay for the Wynwood Grand EC land?
CDL paid $360.90m for the Wynwood Grand EC site, about $782 psf ppr. That is about $782 for every square foot of floor area the developer can build. It was the highest of five bids when the tender closed on 5 August 2025, and a record for an EC at the time. (Sources: EdgeProp Singapore; 99.co)

What the bid gap tells you
The top two offers were less than 0.2% apart. Two developers valued the site almost the same way. Five months later, Sim Lian bid even more for the larger plot beside it, at $794 psf ppr.
Why land cost matters to you
Land is usually a developer's biggest cost, so a higher land price tends to mean a higher launch price. A home's price also covers construction, financing and marketing, so expect launch prices to be well above the land cost.
Price guide
How much will Wynwood Grand EC cost?
The Wynwood Grand EC price list will be released at the preview in 1Q 2027. As an estimate, Knight Frank expects an average of $1,900 to $2,000 psf, with entry prices just above $1,800 psf (EdgeProp). At that range, a 1,000 sq ft home would cost about $1.90m to $2.00m.
Knight Frank estimate · average psf$1,900–$2,000 psf
Knight Frank's Leonard Tay, quoted by EdgeProp on 5 August 2025. PropertyInsider's own model gives a wider estimate of $1,840 to $2,080 psf.
$1,800$1,900–2,000$2,080
What others expect
Knight Frank expects a launch price "just above $1,800 psf" for the entry homes and an average of $1,900 to $2,000 psf. PropertyInsider estimates $1,840 to $2,080 psf. Both are estimates made before CDL released any plans.
For comparison, CDL's private condominium across the road, Norwood Grand, sold 84% of its homes at launch at an average of $2,067 psf (EdgeProp). ECs usually launch below nearby private condos because of the income ceiling and resale rules.
| Type | Estimated price |
|---|---|
| 3 Bedroom | $1.90m–$2.00m |
| 4 Bedroom | $2.38m–$2.50m |
| 5 Bedroom | $2.85m–$3.00m |
Example sizes are for illustration only. Actual sizes come with the floor plans at the preview.
What the income ceiling means for your loan
EC loans from a developer are limited by the Mortgage Servicing Ratio: repayments up to 30% of income, tested at 4% interest (MAS). At the $16,000 income ceiling, that allows a loan of about $1.01m over 30 years, or $0.91m over 25 years. These are our own sums.
How to plan for it
For a home around $1.9m, most buyers will pay more than the minimum 25% in cash and CPF, often from the sale of their HDB flat. Ask your bank for an In-Principle Approval before the preview, so you know your budget when the price list comes out.

The developer
CDL built Copen Grand in Tengah and Lumina Grand in Bukit Batok, two of its recent ECs. Across the road, its Norwood Grand condo sold 84% of 348 homes at launch.
Why this site
The site is beside the Woodlands Healing Garden. The tender asked for wellness-led design, such as green buffers, calm shared spaces and car-lite planning (99.co).
Not the same as the second site
Sim Lian's EC on the neighbouring plot is a separate project of about 560 homes. Both keep the 5-year MOP, and Wynwood Grand EC is expected to launch first.

Unit types
What sizes are the homes at Wynwood Grand EC?
The Wynwood Grand EC unit mix and floor plans will be released at the preview in 1Q 2027. ECs are designed for families, and CDL's recent Lumina Grand EC offered 3, 4 and 5 bedroom types. Register to receive the plans as soon as they are out.
A 3 Bedroom suits a young couple or a small family moving up from an HDB flat. It is usually the most affordable way into a new EC.
A 4 or 5 Bedroom suits larger or multi-generation families. These homes carry a higher price, so check your loan limit early.
Unit types are expected, not final. Floor plans on this page will only be shown once CDL releases them.
EC rules and eligibility
Which EC rules apply to Wynwood Grand EC?
Wynwood Grand EC keeps the older EC rules: a 5-year MOP, the Deferred Payment Scheme and privatisation after 10 years. The stricter rules announced on 8 May 2026 apply only to EC tenders closing on or after that date, and this tender closed on 5 August 2025 (EdgeProp).
| Rule | Wynwood Grand EC | EC sites tendered from 8 May 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Occupation Period | 5 years | 10 years |
| Open to foreigners (privatisation) | After 10 years | After 15 years |
| Deferred Payment Scheme | Available | Removed |
| Units set aside for first-timers | 70% | 90% |
| Second-timers can join | After 1 month | After 2 years |
Source: EdgeProp, 8 May 2026. Confirm the schemes offered in CDL's sales documents.
Who can buy
At least one buyer must be a Singapore Citizen, and the other a Citizen or PR. Household income must be $16,000 a month or less.
You must not own private residential property, or have sold one in the last 30 months. HDB owners must sell their flat within 6 months of getting the EC keys (HDB).
Why the 5-year MOP matters
After 5 years you may sell to Citizens and PRs or rent out the whole unit. Under the new rules, buyers wait 10 years. The Deferred Payment Scheme also lets you pay most of the price at key collection, which helps if you are still selling your flat.
Investment view
Is Wynwood Grand EC a good investment?
Wynwood Grand EC is best for buyers who will live in it for at least the 5-year MOP, since the whole unit cannot be rented out during that time. For own-stay buyers, the working MRT and the older EC rules stand out. The record land cost means launch prices are expected to be high for an EC.
Our assessment
A strong fit for Woodlands families upgrading from HDB who plan to stay 5 years or more. Choose it because the home and location suit you, and plan your loan early.
The strengths
The shorter 5-year MOP. You can sell or rent out the whole unit 5 years sooner than at ECs under the new rules, which gives you more options later.
A station that is already running. Woodlands South MRT opened in 2020, so the transport benefit is there from day one.
The first new EC in Woodlands in about 10 years. Northwave launched in 2016. Woodlands HDB owners who want to upgrade but stay nearby have had few new choices.
What to watch
A record land price at award. At $782 psf ppr, prices are likely to be among the highest for an EC. Compare against resale ECs before you choose.
A second EC on the neighbouring plot. Sim Lian's 560-home EC will compete for the same buyers and may still be under construction when you move in.
Loan limits under MSR. The 30% MSR and $16,000 income ceiling cap your loan, so you may need more cash or CPF than the 25% minimum.
Older Woodlands ECs such as Bellewoods (launched 2014) and Northwave (launched 2016) have resold well above their launch prices, per resale data reported by EdgeProp. Part of the difference comes from how size is measured, because homes approved before June 2023 include aircon ledges. Past prices are no guide to future prices.
Rent after the MOP: an example
Example: a $1.9 million, 1,000 sq ft home. At about $4.20 psf a month, based on asking rents at older Woodlands ECs, rent would be about $4,200 a month, a gross yield of about 2.7%. That is before costs such as loan interest, maintenance and property tax, so your actual return will be lower.

Does Wynwood Grand EC have a 5-year or 10-year MOP?

No. Wynwood Grand EC is CDL's site. The second Woodlands Drive 17 EC site was won by Sim Lian Group for $484 million ($794 psf ppr) in January 2026 and is expected to yield about 560 homes, per EdgeProp. Both sites keep the 5-year MOP.
Is Wynwood Grand EC a good investment?
Wynwood Grand EC suits buyers who will live in it for at least the 5-year MOP, since the whole unit cannot be rented out during that time. Its strengths are an MRT station already in service and the older 5-year MOP rules. Its land cost was a record for an EC at award, so launch prices are expected to be high for an EC.
