From land release to estimated completion — every confirmed milestone and every analyst estimate, clearly separated.
The 25,207 sqm (271,328 sqft) Parcel 1 site is offered with a plot ratio of 1.7 and a tender condition requiring wellness-driven design tied to the adjacent Woodlands Healing Garden.
Five bids are submitted. CDL takes it by S$1 psf ppr, setting the highest EC land rate on record at the time of award. The 99-year lease runs from this date.
A second, larger EC site of 290,412 sqft — roughly 560 homes — is awarded next door, breaking the record set five months earlier.
MND raises the MOP to 10 years, extends privatisation to 15 years and abolishes the Deferred Payment Scheme for new EC tenders. Both parcels here closed tender before the cutoff and keep the old terms.
Based on the standard 15-month wait-out from the August 2025 tender close. The site plan, confirmed unit mix and price list all resolve at this point. Register below to be notified first.
Roughly six months behind the CDL parcel, adding about 560 more homes to the same Woodlands demand pool, under the same old EC rules.
Derived from the GLS tender's approximate five-year completion window from the August 2025 award. At completion, roughly 95 years of the 99-year lease would remain.
Five years from possession under this site's old-rules MOP — five years earlier than any Executive Condominium tendered after 8 May 2026. Full privatisation follows ten years from TOP.

Woodlands Drive 17 EC is a 99-year leasehold Executive Condominium in District 25, roughly a five-minute walk from Woodlands South MRT (TE3) on the Thomson-East Coast Line. CDL Divine Pte Ltd won the 271,328 sqft first parcel on 5 August 2025 at a record S$782 psf ppr, and the project is widely referred to as Wynwood Grand. It is Woodlands' first new EC since Northwave in 2016 — and one of only five EC projects nationally still running the old five-year MOP and Deferred Payment Scheme.
Last updated:
Both Woodlands Drive 17 parcels closed tender before 8 May 2026, so they keep a five-year MOP, ten-year privatisation and the Deferred Payment Scheme. Every EC tendered after that date carries a ten-year MOP and no DPS.
Woodlands South MRT (TE3) opened in January 2020. The Thomson-East Coast Line runs from here to Orchard and Marina Bay without a transfer — this is a working station, not a future promise.
The last Executive Condominium launched in Woodlands was Northwave, back in 2016. Roughly 6,000 HDB flats in the estate are already past their five-year MOP and eligible to upgrade. (Source: Huttons Asia via EdgeProp, August 2025.)
Innova Primary, Woodgrove Primary and Si Ling Primary sit in the immediate vicinity, with Woodlands Primary, Woodlands Ring Primary and Fuchun Primary further out. Confirm all distances on MOE SchoolFinder before relying on them for Primary 1 registration.
The URA-designated 100-hectare Woodlands Regional Centre, the Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS Link, the five-fold Woodlands Checkpoint expansion and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone are all named, government-committed programmes with published dates.
CDL's last two Executive Condominiums — Copen Grand (639 units) and Lumina Grand (512 units) — both sold out. Its private project across the road, Norwood Grand, was about 85% sold at an average of $2,066 psf after its October 2025 launch.

Woodlands Drive 17 EC is the first new Executive Condominium in Woodlands since Northwave in 2016 — a 99-year leasehold development on a 271,328 sqft parcel in District 25, roughly five minutes on foot from Woodlands South MRT (TE3). CDL Divine Pte Ltd, an entity of City Developments Limited, secured the site on 5 August 2025 with a bid of S$360.9 million, or S$782 per square foot per plot ratio. Five developers bid; CDL won by a single dollar psf ppr. The project is now widely referred to as Wynwood Grand.
What makes this Woodlands Drive EC structurally unusual has nothing to do with the building. On 8 May 2026 the Ministry of National Development announced the biggest tightening of Executive Condominium rules since 2013 — a ten-year Minimum Occupation Period, fifteen-year privatisation and the abolition of the Deferred Payment Scheme. Both Woodlands Drive 17 parcels are among five named projects exempted, because their tenders closed before the cutoff. A buyer here still gets a five-year exit, not a ten-year one.
The Government Land Sale tender conditions require wellness-driven design tied to the adjacent Woodlands Healing Garden, an NParks facility on the site's southern edge — greenery buffers and calming communal spaces are a planning obligation here, not marketing language. The specific facilities mix has not been released and will be confirmed at preview.
Demand context is unusually easy to quantify for a project this early. Huttons Asia estimated in August 2025 that roughly 6,000 Woodlands HDB flats had already crossed their five-year MOP — a ready-now upgrader pool in an estate with no new EC supply for nearly a decade. Set against that: the land cost is the highest an Executive Condominium has ever carried, and a second, larger EC of about 560 homes is being built immediately next door. Both sides of that ledger are laid out in full further down this page.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC refers to the Executive Condominium land parcels along Woodlands Drive in District 25, Singapore. There are two of them, side by side. The first — the 1H2025 Government Land Sale site of 25,207 sqm (271,328 sqft) — was awarded to CDL Divine Pte Ltd on 5 August 2025 for S$360.9 million, and is the parcel now widely referred to as Wynwood Grand. The second, a larger 290,412 sqft parcel released in 2H2025, went to Sim Lian in January 2026 at S$794 psf ppr for roughly 560 homes. This site uses "Woodlands Drive 17 EC" as the neutral umbrella term because most buyers searching are interested in both.
The CDL parcel carries a plot ratio of 1.7 and a maximum gross floor area of about 461,259 sqft, which implies an estimated 420 to 430 homes. Executive Condominiums conventionally begin at three bedrooms — there are no one- or two-bedroom units, because the format is designed for owner-occupier families under HDB's eligibility rules. Indicative layouts run from roughly 915 sqft for a three-bedroom to about 1,560 sqft for a five-bedroom, though the confirmed mix will only be published at preview.
Tenure is 99 years from the August 2025 award date. At an estimated TOP of around 2030 — derived from the tender's approximate five-year completion window — roughly 95 years of lease would remain, a genuinely long runway compared with the older resale Executive Condominium stock in the same estate.
A note on names, because it matters when you are searching. "Wynwood Grand" is the name in circulation for the CDL parcel; you will also see "Woodlands Drive 17 EC", "Woodlands Drive EC" and simply "Woodlands EC" used for the same sites. Anything about the second parcel is usually unnamed and referred to by developer. Until CDL publishes an official launch registration, treat any name — including this one — as provisional. (Source: HDB GLS tender results, 5 August 2025 and 20 January 2026; EdgeProp Singapore.)
On 8 May 2026, the Ministry of National Development announced the biggest tightening of Executive Condominium rules since 2013. Both Woodlands Drive 17 parcels are among five named EC projects explicitly exempted, because their tenders closed before the cutoff date. This is the single most consequential structural fact about the site — and it is a dated, verifiable policy point, not a sales line. (Source: EdgeProp, 10 May 2026; Stacked Homes, 8 May 2026.)
| Rule | Woodlands Drive 17 EC (old rules) | EC tenders from 8 May 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Occupation Period | 5 years | 10 years |
| Full privatisation | 10 years from TOP | 15 years from TOP |
| Deferred Payment Scheme | Available | Abolished |
| First-timer priority quota | 70% of units | 90% of units |
| First-timer priority window | 1 month | 2 years |
In practical terms, a buyer here can sell or rent out the whole unit after five years instead of ten, may elect the Deferred Payment Scheme to defer most of the purchase price until completion, and reaches full privatisation — sellable to foreigners and entities — five years sooner than any EC launched under the new regime. Note honestly that the adjacent Sim Lian parcel shares the same exemption, so this is an argument for the Woodlands Drive 17 location generally, not for one parcel over the other.

Woodlands South MRT (TE3) is roughly a five-minute walk, and it has been operational since January 2020. That distinction matters more than it sounds: most new launches sell a station that has not been built yet. This one sells a station that residents of the surrounding HDB blocks already use every day. The Thomson-East Coast Line runs from Woodlands North through to Sungei Bedok, reaching Orchard and Marina Bay without a transfer.
Rail connections from Woodlands Drive 17:
(Source: LTA official rail network map; EdgeProp Singapore, 5 August 2025. Walk times are indicative.)
For drivers, the site has direct access to the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE), which link onward to the Pan-Island Expressway and to the CBD and Changi. Woodlands Checkpoint sits immediately north for cross-border road traffic to Johor Bahru, and is undergoing a five-fold capacity expansion.
The RTS Link is the genuine wildcard. Two stops away at Woodlands North, the Singapore terminus is targeted to open end-2026 or early-2027 per LTA's April 2026 tunnelling progress update. Treat it as optionality rather than a base-case assumption — it is a dated, funded project, but rail openings slip, and nothing on this page prices it in as certain.
URA has designated a 100-hectare regional centre across two precincts here — with the RTS Link, a five-fold Woodlands Checkpoint expansion, Woodlands Health Campus and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone all named, dated and committed.
Woodlands South MRT (TE3) opened in January 2020 and sits about five minutes on foot from both Woodlands Drive 17 EC parcels. Residents get a single-seat Thomson-East Coast Line ride to Orchard and Marina Bay, and one stop to the Woodlands interchange for the North-South Line and Causeway Point.
By road, the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE) are both directly accessible, linking onward to the Pan-Island Expressway. Woodlands Checkpoint, currently being expanded to five times its size, is immediately north.
Two Executive Condominium parcels sit side by side on Woodlands Drive 17. Both closed tender before 8 May 2026, so both keep the five-year MOP and the Deferred Payment Scheme — waiting for the second one does not cost you those terms. The genuine differences are sequencing, scale and land cost.

CDL Divine Pte Ltd · also known as Wynwood Grand
Leasehold from August 2025
Estimate — not developer-confirmed
Executive Condominiums conventionally start at three bedrooms — there are no one- or two-bedroom units here. The official Woodlands Drive 17 EC site plan and floor plates have not been released by the developer. The layouts shown below are indicative templates only, included to illustrate typical EC configurations at each bedroom count; they are not this project's plans. Register to receive the actual plates the moment they are published.
Estimated sizes are modelled on the District 25 EC unit-mix template and will be replaced by the confirmed mix at official launch. The layouts pictured are generic templates and do not represent Woodlands Drive 17 EC's actual floor plans.
Woodlands Drive 17 is one of only five Executive Condominium projects in Singapore still running the pre-8-May-2026 rules — a five-year MOP rather than ten, ten-year privatisation rather than fifteen, and the Deferred Payment Scheme still on the table. Every EC tendered after that date is bound by the tougher regime. This is a dated, verifiable policy fact, not a scarcity narrative. (Source: EdgeProp, 10 May 2026; Stacked Homes, 8 May 2026.)
Woodlands has not seen a new Executive Condominium launch since Northwave in 2016. Huttons Asia estimated in August 2025 that roughly 6,000 HDB flats in the estate had already crossed their five-year MOP — a ready-now upgrader pool with nowhere local to go. A separate "Housing by the Woods" precinct near Admiralty Park is planned to add about 4,000 more HDB flats along the waterfront, continuing to refresh that pipeline. (Source: EdgeProp, 5 August 2025; Yahoo News Singapore, 26 January 2026.)
The Woodlands Regional Centre is a URA-designated 100-hectare plan across two precincts. The Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS Link is targeted for end-2026 or early-2027, Woodlands Checkpoint is being expanded five-fold, the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone was formally established in January 2025, and Woodlands Health Campus is opening in phases. Each has a named government source and a date attached — which is more than most new-launch growth stories can claim.
Two things cut the other way, and they belong on the same page as the upside. First, $782 psf ppr was the highest land rate an EC had ever carried at award, which flows through to the highest EC entry quantum this segment has seen — and MSR at 30% binds harder than most upgraders expect. Second, a larger EC of about 560 homes lands immediately next door and competes for the same buyers. Earlier Woodlands ECs Bellewoods and Northwave have appreciated roughly 67–68% from launch, though that comparison overstates true gains by about 5–8% on a strata-area basis. Past performance does not indicate future results.
No Woodlands Drive 17 EC showflat has opened yet. Register now and you will be contacted the moment a preview date, e-application window and price list are announced — before the public launch.
The Government Land Sale conditions for Woodlands Drive 17 require a wellness-driven design tied to the adjacent Woodlands Healing Garden, an NParks facility on the site's southern edge. Greenery buffers and calming communal spaces are a planning obligation here rather than a marketing theme. The specific facilities mix — pool configuration, gym, function rooms — has not been released by the developer and will be confirmed at preview.
Causeway Point, Woods Square, Woodlands Civic Centre and Republic Polytechnic are all established parts of daily life here, and ACE The Place Community Club sits a short walk from the site. Woodlands Health Campus is opening in phases immediately to the south. For an upgrader already living in Woodlands or Marsiling, moving here means keeping the same MRT line, the same schools and the same neighbourhood — while trading a flat for a condominium.
Because Executive Condominiums are designed for owner-occupier families under HDB's eligibility framework, the format starts at three bedrooms — no shoebox units, no one- or two-bedders. Indicative sizes run from roughly 915 sqft at the entry three-bedroom to about 1,560 sqft for a five-bedroom or penthouse layout. It is a different product from an investor-led private launch, and the buyer profile that shows up on preview day reflects that.
The official Woodlands Drive 17 EC price list has not been released and will only be published at preview. What is confirmed is the land cost: S$782 per square foot per plot ratio, paid on 5 August 2025. Knight Frank Singapore's Leonard Tay projected an average launch price of S$1,900 to S$2,000 psf, with entry units just above S$1,800 psf. (Source: EdgeProp Singapore, 5 August 2025.)
Working backwards from the land cost gives a sense of how much room the developer actually has. At $782 psf ppr land, plus roughly $480 psf of estimated construction and fit-out at EC-grade finishes, plus around $140 psf of estimated financing, marketing and margin, breakeven lands near $1,400 psf (estimated) — against a projected launch band of $1,900 to $2,000. Every component beyond the land cost is an estimate, and none of it is developer-disclosed; it is shown here because checkable arithmetic is more useful than an adjective.
| Unit Type | Est. Size | Est. Quantum |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Bedroom | 915–1,033 sqft | $1.74M–$1.96M (est.) |
| 4-Bedroom | 1,152–1,281 sqft | $2.25M–$2.50M (est.) |
| 5-Bedroom / Penthouse | 1,410–1,560 sqft | $2.79M–$3.09M (est.) |
Sizes modelled on the District 25 EC unit-mix template; quantums derived from the projected $1,900–$2,000 psf launch band. All figures are estimates and will be replaced by the confirmed mix and price list at launch.
This is the part most buyers get wrong, and it is worth being blunt about. Executive Condominium purchases from a developer are governed by the Mortgage Servicing Ratio of 30%, stress-tested at 4% a year — not the 55% TDSR that applies to a private condominium. On an estimated $1.85 million three-bedroom at the legal-maximum 75% LTV, the stress-test repayment works out to roughly $7,300 a month, which under a 30% MSR would require about $24,400 of monthly household income. That exceeds the entire $16,000 EC income ceiling.
The practical consequence: no EC-eligible household can finance the pivotal three-bedroom at 75% LTV. To stay within MSR at a $16,000 income, the loan has to be capped around $909,000, implying a downpayment near 51% rather than the legal-minimum 25%. Most real buyers close that gap with HDB sale proceeds. If you are coming from private-condominium shopping and assuming standard downpayment maths, get an in-principle approval before you fall in love with a unit type. (MSR mechanics per MAS; figures are illustrative estimates at the projected launch band.)
Buyers weighing Woodlands Drive 17 EC against nearby options are usually comparing four things at once: a new EC, the private condo across the road, older resale ECs, and simply staying in HDB. Norwood Grand, CDL's private project directly opposite, transacted at an average of $2,066 psf after its October 2025 launch — roughly $100 to $150 psf more, with no income ceiling and no MOP, but also none of the EC pricing advantage. Bellewoods and Northwave resale sits far cheaper at around $1,260 to $1,330 psf, but those are ten-year-old, fully privatised ECs with no fresh lease and no MOP protection left to sell.
| Option | Type | Est. PSF |
|---|---|---|
| Woodlands Drive 17 EC (this site) | New EC | $1,900–$2,000 (est.) |
| Norwood Grand (across the road) | Private condo | $2,066 (transacted avg) |
| Bellewoods / Northwave resale | Resale EC | $1,260–$1,330 |
| Sembawang Road EC (D27) | New EC | $1,700–$1,800 (est.) |

Woodlands has two directly relevant precedents. Bellewoods launched in December 2014 at $795 psf and has since transacted around $1,326 psf in the 2025–26 resale market, about +67%. Northwave launched in July 2016 at $750 psf and has reached roughly $1,262 psf, about +68%. One honest caveat: those comparisons set non-harmonised launch PSF against harmonised resale caveat PSF, which overstates true appreciation by roughly 5 to 8 per cent. Directionally the precedent is still strong. (Source: Huttons Asia data cited in EdgeProp, 5 August 2025.)
The Woodlands Drive 17 EC developer for the first parcel is CDL Divine Pte Ltd, an entity of City Developments Limited — the SGX-listed Hong Leong Group flagship whose last two Executive Condominiums, Copen Grand and Lumina Grand, both sold out. The Woodlands Drive 17 EC launch date is estimated at Q4 2026 to Q1 2027 based on the standard 15-month wait-out from the August 2025 tender close, with the adjacent Sim Lian parcel roughly six months behind. Neither is developer-confirmed. Register below and you will hear the moment the official name, price list, site plan and floor plans are released — for both parcels.
