The Housing & Development Board (HDB) has announced the tender launch for an executive condominium (EC) site at Woodlands Drive 17, as part of the second half of 2025 Government Land Sales programme. The site, which can accommodate approximately 560 units, is set to close its tender on 13 January 2026.
Located within 1 km of primary schools such as Innova Primary School and Woodgrove Primary School, the site is strategically positioned near the Woodlands Regional Centre, poised to become Singapore’s largest economic hub in the North. This makes it an attractive option for professionals working in the area. Additionally, the site is conveniently accessible via the Woodlands South MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, offering a direct route to Orchard Road in just over 30 minutes.
Justin Quek, Deputy Group CEO of Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Group, highlighted the site’s potential appeal to foreign buyers, especially once the EC is privatised in ten years, given its proximity to the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System. “We anticipate robust interest in this EC development when it is launched for sale, considering its prime location and potential for future growth,” Quek stated.
This is the second EC site released in the area, following a previous site awarded to CDL Divine Pte. Ltd. in August 2025. Despite the larger size of the new site, which may lead developers to adopt a cautious approach, the limited supply of ECs and private homes in Woodlands suggests strong demand. Recent EC launches, such as Aurelle of Tampines, have seen impressive sales, underscoring the popularity of such developments.
The increased housing supply in Woodlands is expected to support the region’s development, attracting more residents to the area. Quek anticipates 3 to 6 bidders for the site, with the highest bid potentially ranging between S$700 to S$780 per square foot per plot ratio.
