Tenet at Tampines North and Other Upcoming Executive Condominium Launches
While HDB BTO flats are the preferred route to home ownership for the majority of Singaporeans, not everyone is eligible for them.
Those with incomes that exceed the prevailing income ceilings will be disqualified from BTO launches, leaving them with either second-hand resale flats, or costly private developments which are often out of their budget.
To better address the needs of this “sandwich class” of homeowners, the government launched Executive Condominiums (ECs) in 1996.
ECs are a category of housing that is halfway between public flats and private developments, both in design and quality, as well as price — the latter, due to subsidised land prices. They are also in high demand, as ECs are privatised after 10 years, which usually brings on a spike in the property’s prices.
The latest EC project that has captured the attention of aspiring homeowners is Tenet at Tampines North. But that’s not all – several other new ECs have also been announced.
Let’s take a look at what Tenet and other upcoming ECs have to offer.
