52 New Launch Condos With Steadiness Models Remaining In 2024 (From $1,221 PSF)

7 min read

Not everyone has the luxury to wait a few years for their condo to be built; and sometimes, it just takes an upgrader longer than expected to sell. In those situations, one alternative is to look at new launch condos that – although they may be at a later launch phase – are closer to completion. The prices may be higher, but you’ll also get to move in sooner. Here are some of the ones to look for as of March 2024:

A look at new launch condos with the most units remaining still

The following new launch condos with remaining units are still among the most viable, if you want to have a good selection of units (by this we mean there will be more “regular” units available; for condos down to the last few units, these tend to be the more expensive penthouses, super-sized premium units, etc.)

1. The Continuum

The Continuum has been a bit slow with regard to sales and moved only 26 per cent of its units on launch weekend. We don’t think this is an issue of the project – rather, we’d say it’s due to the three-way competition between Continuum, Grand Dunman, and Tembusus Grand. All three condos were launched close to each other in the same district.

There is also the other issue of price. Because it’s the only freehold condo of the three, its price point (around $2,740 psf for a three-bedder) is higher than Tembusu Grand and Grand Dunman (both around $2,419 psf). We also note that during the launch of these condos, there were serious concerns over escalating home loan rates, which may have eclipsed any enthusiasm over its freehold status. 

That said, The Continuum is a well-located project, being close to several high-profile schools. Tanjong Katong Girls, Haig Girls, and Kong Hwa are all in priority enrollment distance, which will be a big draw for parents. 

The condo is also within walking distance of KINEX Mall and is nicely positioned between Joo Chiat – a major family lifestyle area – and Paya Lebar, a major commercial hub. There is also bus access (bus 43) to Paya Lebar, which provides access to the EWL and CCL via Paya Lebar MRT.

(Note that Dakota is the closer MRT station, but as it’s more than a 10-minute walk, most residents will likely just take the bus directly to Paya Lebar).

If there is a drawback to The Continuum, it’s simply that it’s overall the most expensive of the three (it’s up to you if freehold status makes up for that). It also has the oddity of a road running down its middle (Thiam Siew Avenue), but that can seem more like a unique feature for some rather than a drawback.

Finally, it’s worth highlighting that there is also a Jalan Tembusu GLS site that is upcoming which was sold for $828.8m to Sim Lian Group.

2. Grand Dunman

Grand Dunman is the biggest of the three new launches in District 15 (with The Continuum and Tembusu Grand). This project has 1,008 units, and like most mega-developments, a sizeable land area allows for more facilities. There’s also the likelihood of lower maintenance fees in the long run, given the large number of units sharing the cost. 

Grand Dunman is also the closest to the MRT station of the three; across the Geylang River and in the direction of Old Airport Road, it’s just a few minutes walk to Dakota MRT (CCL). This is just one stop away from the major commercial hub of Paya Lebar. 

Depending on your taste in amenities, some may also argue that Grand Dunman has an advantage. It’s closer to local food options like the famous Old Airport Road hawker centre, for example, and there are numerous heartland shops (including an NTUC FairPrice) within that area. 

It’s up to you if this is preferable to, say, a mall like KINEX, or if you’re the sort who prefers to avoid busy Paya Lebar for your shopping (in which case having Old Airport Road nearby definitely helps). 

3. Hillock Green

The slower sales at Hillock Green may be due to the sheer amount of supply in Lentor right now. Lentor Modern got the ball rolling, and Hillock Green is also joined by Lentoria and Lentor Hills Residences, all in a rather small area (these condos are all within walking distance). Lentor Mansion was the latest entrant to the game but has sold remarkably well – with 75 per cent sold during launch weekend.

Any location-based benefits we can attribute to Hillock Green are mostly shared by Lentor Modern, which is just across the road. This also means walking access to Lentor MRT (TEL), which is integrated with its neighbour Lentor Modern. One benefit is that, while the Lentor area is rather sparse in amenities, Lentor Modern is mixed-use and has commercial elements; so owners here will benefit from the same shops and eateries. 

Hillock Green’s main advantage now may be pricing – a three-bedder here averages $2,160 psf at last check, lower than Lentor Modern ($2,379 psf) and Lentor Hills Residences ($2,217 psf). Besides the lower price point, it will come down to your personal preference in layouts. We’ve done an extensive comparison here, so do check it out.

Note that one drawback to Hillock Green’s location is the lack of school access, as even the nearest school (Anderson Primary) appears to be slightly outside of the one-kilometre range. 

4. Tembusu Grand

This is the smallest of the three District 15 new launches by unit count. Tembusus Grand is a mid-sized project with 638 units, as opposed to Grand Dunman’s 1,008 units and Continuum’s 816 units. 

This unit count is a good move, as 600+ units are often seen as the sweet spot for condo projects: enough units to keep maintenance low and have a wide range of facilities, but not so much that you lose privacy, or face too much competition for tenants and buyers. The unit count also helps in one other way: 

Tembusu Grand is much closer to the Katong/Joo Chiat area than the other two condos, and this neighbourhood has long been overcrowded with boutique condos. While these smaller projects are hard to differentiate, Tembusu Grand easily demonstrates a difference with its full-suite, full-sized condo facilities. That’s worth thinking about from an investment perspective: the Katong area has a large expatriate enclave, and having a condo with a full-sized pool, gym, BBQ pit, etc. stands out compared to the tiny projects with bare-bones facilities.

In terms of comparison with the other two, Tembusu Grand is further from Paya Lebar, and also further from the MRT stations. The trade-off is proximity to malls like Katong V and i12 (which have supermarkets), and better access to the eateries and entertainment of the Katong area. This area is also well-known for its dense cluster of enrichment schools for children and in particular its range of music schools.

5. Pinetree Hill

Pinetree Hill’s slow sales may have been surprising to some, as most people were pointing to a lot of pent-up demand in the area; after all, it’s the first new launch in this area in around 14 years. It’s also got some of the best greenery views we’ve seen to date, being unblocked all around (and with Clementi Forest in the distance). This may also be due to it being at the peak of an actual hill, as the name suggests (around 8.5 metres above ground). 

That said, Pinetree Hill may be a bit niche. By that, we mean it caters to the demographic that wants green space and privacy above all else; even over certain conveniences. The area around this condo is sparse in terms of amenities, and you do need to travel out for any serious shopping or entertainment (barring outdoor entertainment like long walks, cycling, etc., for which this location is very good)

There’s also no MRT station within convenient walking distance, although the future Maju MRT station on the Cross Island Line may help. As such, we’d consider this condo only if you drive, or don’t mind using cabs and PHVs often.

Also, we’d note that the surrounding land plots are not guaranteed to stay as green forever; and there are some rather large plots that have been earmarked as future residential sites.
