Whichever camp you fall into, you’re here for one thing — a complete, accurate, and up-to-date list of upcoming new launch condos for the rest of 2025.

More Than Just a List of Upcoming Launches
Sure, anyone can give you a list of what’s launching next. But that’s just table stakes.
From our experience, we understand that investors need more than that. You will be looking for a list to highlight which are the upcoming mega developments in RCR or OCR and is also reviewing to see which development possesses important attributes like proximity to MRT and reputable primary schools.
To do that, we’ve enriched this list with key investment-critical data points:
- Development Size – Total number of units. Bigger projects often enjoy better amenities and resale liquidity.
- Proximity to MRT – Stated clearly in walking minutes. This directly affects rentability and future buyer demand.
- Proximity to Reputable Primary Schools – Highlighted if the project falls within a 1km radius of top schools. A key criteria targeting family homestay buyers as exit buyers.
These three factors alone can significantly affect both rental yield and future resale appeal. The two core pillars of any high growth investment property.
And to push it even further, we’ll also look into land breakeven prices, comparing each launch against similar plots nearby. This should help us get a sense of pricing competitiveness for the upcoming new launches.
Full List – with URA Zoning and Development Size Added
Here’s the full list of upcoming private condo launches from May 2025 onwards.
What We’ve Added:
URA Zoning
This matters as each zone targets a different set of exit buyer:
- OCR projects appeal to HDB upgraders prioritising affordability
- RCR targets upgraders moving closer to town
- CCR targets affluent singles, couples without kids and investors attracted to the narrowing price gaps between RCR and CCR new launches.
Development Size
The number of units in a development directly affects how fast prices can move after the project hits TOP.
In larger developments, there will be more resale transactions. This higher volume helps build up new benchmark prices faster, aiding with faster price appreciation.
In contrast, boutique projects with fewer units often see slower transaction activity. Without regular sales, prices tend to stagnate or grow more slowly — which can hurt your capital appreciation over time.
| Project Name | Tenure | Preview Period | No. of Units | Location | URA Zoning |
| Arina East Residences | Freehold | April 2025 | 107 | Tanjong Rhu | RCR |
| AmberHouse | Freehold | May 2025 | 105 | Amber Road | RCR |
| UpperHouse @ Orchard | Freehold | May 2025 | 270 | Orchard Boulevard | CCR |
| Springleaf Residence | 99 years | August 2025 | 941 | Springleaf | OCR |
| River Green (River Valley Green Parcel A) | 99 years | August 2025 | 380 | River Valley | CCR |
| Promenade Peak (Zion Road Parcel B) | 99 years | Q3 2025 | 610 | Zion Road | CCR |
| The Sen (De Souza Ave) | 99 years | Aug/Sep 2025 | 355 | Upper Bukit Timah | OCR |
| Faber Residence | 99 years | November 2025 | 403 | Faber Walk | OCR |
| Holland Drive GLS | 99 years | Q4 2025 | 680 | Holland Drive | RCR |

| 2, 4, 6 Mount Emily Road | Freehold | Q4 2025 | 20 | Mount Emily | RCR |
Full List – further enriched with proximity to MRT and reputable school
Now that you’ve seen the full list — let’s take it a step further.
We’ve added two more practical data points to help you narrow your shortlist even faster:
- Walking distance to the nearest MRT station
- Whether the project falls within 1km of a reputable primary school
These two factors matter — especially if you’re targeting rental yield or planning an exit to family-based buyers. Access to MRT boosts rentability. Proximity to top schools makes a project more attractive to parents purchasing the unit to get their child into a reputable primary school.
Let’s break it down with two quick examples:
- If you’re looking at a 3-bedder targeting HDB upgraders, a project like Springleaf Residence ticks all the boxes — mega development, 1-min walk to MRT, and within 1km of Ai Tong School.
- If you’re restricted to 1- or 2-bedroom units, and want something central, Penrith might fit the bill — a city fringe project just 3 minutes from Queenstown MRT.
Here’s the enriched table:
| Project Name | No. of Units | Nearest MRT Station (Walking Time) | Reputable Primary School within 1km | URA Zoning |
| Arina East Residences | 107 | Katong Park MRT (4 min walk) | NA – 2km from Kong Hwa School, Tanjong Katong Primary School | RCR |
| AmberHouse | 105 | Tanjong Katong MRT (7 min walk) | 1km from Tanjong Katong Primary School | RCR |
| UpperHouse @ Orchard | 270 | Orchard Boulevard MRT (0 min walk) | NA – 2km of Rivervalley Primary School | CCR |
| Springleaf Residence | 941 | Springleaf MRT (1 min walk) | NA | OCR |
| River Green (River Valley Green Parcel A) | 380 | Great World MRT (2–3 min walk) | 1km from River Valley Primary School | CCR |
| Promenade Peak (Zion Road Parcel B) | 610 | Promenade MRT (4 min walk) | 1km from River Valley Primary School, Alexandra Primary School | CCR |
| Faber Residence | 403 | Clementi MRT (15 min walk) | 1km from Nan Hua Primary School | OCR |

| The Sen (De Souza Ave) | 355 | Beauty World MRT (14 min walk) | 1km from Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School | OCR |
Taking It Further – Upcoming Launches with Potential Pricing Advantage
So far, we’ve looked at location, MRT access, and school proximity.
But there’s one more critical factor that smart investors never overlook: entry price.
To help you assess this, we’ve mapped out the land breakeven prices of these upcoming launches and compared them with surrounding sites that have either recently launched or are launching soon.
Why does this matter?
Breakeven prices give us insight into how much flexibility a developer has to price competitively.
Here’s what to look out for:
- If a developer acquired the land at a lower price, they have more room to price the launch attractively while still preserving margins.
- On the flip side, if a neighbouring plot was purchased at a higher price, the newer launch with the lower breakeven may undercut it — giving buyers better upside potential.
In short: breakeven price gaps can reveal hidden pricing advantages that aren’t obvious from just looking at location or facilities.
In the next section, we’ll break this down project by project — so you can spot launches with a strong pricing edge.
Springleaf Residences vs Lentor Central Residences
Springleaf Residences could potentially have a pricing advantage vs Lentor Central Residences
Based on the data, Springleaf Residences could offer a clear pricing advantage over its closest comparable Lentor Central Residences.
At first glance, both launches are similar. Both have got MRT at their doorstep, and both are in the OCR.
But zoom in and you’ll notice:
- Springleaf’s land breakeven is 6% lower than Lentor’s
- This gives its developer room to build in a 15% margin, yet still launch at a lower price point than Lentor
| Project Name | Location | Nearest MRT Station (Walking Time) | Breakeven Price ($PSF) | GFA Harmonisation | Launch Price ($PSF) / Estimated Launch Price |
| Lentor Central New Launch | Lentor | Lentor MRT (1 min walk) | 1,793 | Yes | 2,200 |
| Springleaf Residence | Springleaf | Springleaf MRT (1 min walk) | 1,688 | Yes | 2,077 |
River Green vs River Valley Green Parcel B
River Green has a lower land breakeven price compared to its adjacent River Valley Green Parcel B
Both projects are located close to each other and served by the same MRT station.
But here’s what sets them apart:
- River Green’s breakeven price is $128 PSF lower
- That gives its developer the ability to price 5–6% more competitively, while still maintaining healthy profit margins
| Project Name | Location | Nearest MRT Station (Walking Time) | Breakeven Price ($PSF) | GFA Harmonisation | Estimated Launch Price ($PSF) |
| River Green (River Valley Green Parcel A) | River Valley | Great World MRT (2–3 min walk) | 2,258 | Yes | 2,778 |
| River Valley Green Parcel B | River Valley | Great World MRT (2–3 min walk) | 2,386 | Yes | 2,936 |
Promenade Peak vs Zion Road Parcel A
Zion Road Parcel A has a lower land breakeven price compared to Promenade Peak
In the Zion Road cluster, we see a reversal of the typical pricing pattern.
- Zion Road Parcel A’s breakeven is $138 PSF lower, despite being even closer to the MRT
- That gives its developer leeway to launch at a more attractive price, without sacrificing profitability.
| Project Name | Location | Nearest MRT Station (Walking Time) | Breakeven Price ($PSF) | GFA Harmonisation | Estimated Launch Price ($PSF) |
| Promenade Peak (Zion Road Parcel B) | Zion Road | Promenade MRT (4 min walk) | 2,229 | Yes | 2,743 |
| Zion Road Parcel A | Zion Road | Havelock MRT (1 min walk) | 2,091 | Yes | 2,573 |
Faber Residences vs Elta
Faber Residence located slightly further from the MRT have got a significant land cost advantage over the recently launched Elta.
- Faber’s breakeven is a full $474 PSF lower — one of the largest pricing gaps we’ve seen so far
- That gives its developer considerable room to price more attractively than Elta, even with a healthy profit margin
- While Elta has the edge in MRT proximity, Faber Residences is within 1km radius of the highly sought after Nan Hua Primary School.
| Project Name | Location | Nearest MRT Station (Walking Time) | Breakeven Price ($PSF) | GFA Harmonisation | Estimated Launch Price ($PSF) |
| Elta | Clementi | Clementi MRT (5 min walk) | 2,156 | Yes | 2,537 |
| Faber Residence | Faber Walk | Clementi MRT (15 min walk) | 1,682 | Yes | 2,070 |
Tampines St 94 GLS vs Parktown
On the contrary, Tampines St 94 GLS could be priced higher than Parktown
On the flip side, in Tampines, Tampines St 94 GLS has a higher land breakeven price compared to Parktown.
This could be a relevant read, if you are wondering if integrated developments are good for investment.
| Project Name | Location | Nearest MRT Station (Walking Time) | Breakeven Price ($PSF) | GFA Harmonisation | Estimated Launch Price ($PSF) |
| Parktown Residence | Tampines North | Tampines North MRT (Integrated) | 1,661 | Yes | 2,360 |
| Tampines St 94 GLS | Tampines | Tampines MRT (2 min walk) | 1,823 | Yes | 2,248 |

- Potential Pent Up Demand: First new launch in River Valley since CanningHill Pier which launched in 2021

Being within 1km of River Valley Primary School, River Green Residences taps into this niche.
At the same time, being just a 2–3 minute walk from Great World MRT gives it strong rental appeal, especially among expats and working professionals who value central access without being located within the CBD.

- Buyer Demand: Located in Clementi, a mature estate with strong HDB upgrader demand
Faber Residences offers a well-balanced investment attribute. It combines strong school appeal, buyer demand from surrounding HDB estates, and a potential pricing edge against Elta. It may not be the closest to MRT, but for families focused on schools and value, it’s a solid long-term bet.
Highlights
- Exit Strategy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
- Rentability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)

#4 – Penrith
- Market Context: Rides on the strong resale momentum of nearby condos like Stirling Residences and Queens Peak
- Rental Angle: Attractive for investors eyeing 2-bedroom units targeting the rental market
- Upgrader Demand: Located in Queenstown, where HDB upgraders are exiting from million-dollar flats in Dawson
Penrith may not be a mega development and do not have any reputable primary school within 1km radius. But it holds potential for rental-focused investors and buyers who believe in the long-term appreciation of the Queenstown area. Especially for those targeting tenants who want city-fringe access without CCR pricing.
Highlights
- Exit Strategy: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
- Rentability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
- Pricing: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
