ECs have their own set of benefits, but they also have different requirements than conventional condos. For example, you will have to pay down a substantial amount of cash as the down payment. In addition, you will have to provide proof of your income and marital status to qualify for an EC. Moreover, you must be prepared for fluctuating interest rates.
EC homes are designed to last. They take their inspiration from the beautiful surrounding landscape. These features provide a unique living environment that enables residents to create life-long memories. These homes also integrate growth and wellness in a holistic environment. They are also affordable compared to private residences.
Another HDB EC launch in the west is Copen Grand in Tengah. Located in the heart of Tengah Town, this Executive Condominium has an estimated site area of 22,020.8 square meters. The building will feature 615 units, ranging from cozy 3-bedrooms to luxurious 5-bedroom units.
Three MRT stations
One of the highlights of HDB’s EC launching in The West is the development of the Tengah township. This new town is situated within a strategic eco-corridor that connects to nature reserves in the Central Catchment area. The developer plans to recreate the existing forest corridor through the town to create a town that is sensitive to the environment.
Prices of new ECs have been steadily increasing in the last couple of years. From 2016 to 2020, they surged by 42.5 percent. However, prices have stabilised for this year. The trend is likely to continue as more people look for more affordable housing options due to the sky-high price of private properties. As more EC launches are launched, prices are likely to increase even more. While prices will be higher, they are still affordable and within the reach of many people.
Located in Tengah Town, the development is near the Jurong East MRT station. The new station is scheduled to begin operations by 2027. It is part of the Jurong Region Line and is part of the new phrase two construction, which will feature seven train stations. This will provide residents with convenient transportation options.
Affordable price
Located near the Jurong Innovation District and the upcoming smart eco-town in Tengah, the Copen Grand EC is expected to generate a healthy demand for its units. In fact, the demand for ECs in Singapore has always been robust, said the head of research and content at NeoNex Realty, Wong Siew Ying.
