Recent Launch Performance

Project Launch Units First-Day Take-Up Avg PSF
Chuan Park Nov 10, 2024 916 77% $2,500
Union Square Residences Nov 9, 2024 366 20% $3,200
Emerald at Katong Nov 16, 2024 846 99% $2,621
Nava Grove Nov 16, 2024 552 65% $2,448
Novo Place EC Nov 16, 2024 616 57% $1,654
The Collective at One Sophia Nov 6, 2024 367 10% $2,500

Chuan Park — a strong performer

916 units in District 19 next to Lorong Chuan MRT (Kingsford & MCC Land), a redevelopment of the former Chuan Park sold en bloc for ~$890M in 2022. With District 19's last major launch being The Scala in 2010, demand is strong. A solid mid-tier, well-located pick.

Emerald at Katong — a clear winner

846 units in District 15 near Tanjong Katong MRT (Sim Lian), achieving a 99% first-day take-up at ~$2,621 psf — driven by the East Coast lifestyle and strong demand for family-sized homes at a competitive price.

Premium Projects, Slower Starts

Union Square Residences (D1, CDL, ~$3,200 psf) hit only 20% take-up; The Collective at One Sophia (D9, ~$2,500 psf) just 10% — both premium projects that may need time amid a crowded November launch calendar. Nava Grove (D21, ~$2,448 psf) posted a solid 65%.

The Rising New-Launch vs Resale Gap

New launches now average $2,500–$3,200 psf — at least 40% (roughly $300 psf) higher than resale. The case for resale: value (mature D10/D15 units ~$300 psf cheaper), immediate occupancy, and a proven track record. Top resale picks include 19 Nassim (D10, ~$2,800 psf, 4–5% yields) and Cuscaden Reserve (D9, ~$3,000 psf). Districts 9, 10 and 15 should remain popular and appreciate steadily.

Frequently asked questions

What do recent launches tell us?

They reveal current pricing, buyer appetite and where demand is concentrated across segments.

How do I use launch data?

Benchmark a project's psf and take-up against comparable launches and nearby resale to judge value.

Does high take-up mean a good buy?

Not always — assess pricing, layout and future supply rather than following the crowd.
