The Canberra Drive EC site drew 13 bids on 1 October 2026, and the top bid was S$825 psf ppr (S$163.9 million), as reported by The Business Times. That is 7.0% above the S$771 psf ppr paid for the Solano Grand site at Senja Close (our arithmetic from the figures on this page). A land bid is a cost input, not a launch price, and does not set what Solano Grand will cost buyers.

An authoritative, data-backed assessment of CDL's $771 psf ppr land bid, indicative pricing from $1,600 PSF, the 15-year Bukit Panjang EC supply drought, and Pre-May 2026 EC rules 5-year MOP advantages.
Yes, Solano Grand EC is a rare, high-conviction buy for eligible HDB upgraders. Awarded to CDL at S$771 psf ppr with estimated launch pricing from S$1,600 PSF, it enters at a 10% to 15% discount against nearby resale condominiums like Hillion Residences (transacting at S$1,720–S$1,850 PSF). Crucially, under the pre-May 2026 EC rules, it enjoys the standard 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) eligibility. With zero EC supply in Bukit Panjang since 2011, pent-up demand will make balloting for its ~295 units fiercely competitive.

Fifteen years. That's how long Bukit Panjang has waited for a new EC. If you're an HDB upgrader in the west, you already know the pain — every launch has been in Tampines, Woodlands, or some corner of Singapore that doesn't help you. Solano Grand EC (frequently searched by prospective buyers as Solana Grand EC or Senja Close EC) changes that. CDL won this Senja Close site with a top bid of roughly S$771 psf ppr, and indicative launch pricing starts from an estimated S$1,600 psf. For context, Hillion Residences — a resale condo integrated with the transport interchange just down the road — is already transacting above S$1,750 psf. You're buying new at a notable discount to resale prices. That's the core value proposition.
Let's break down the transit connectivity transparently. The development is situated right between Jelapang LRT (BP12, ~3-minute walk) and Senja LRT (BP13, ~4-minute walk). Both stations provide a swift 2-stop loop connection directly into Bukit Panjang MRT Interchange on the Downtown Line (DTL). From Bukit Panjang MRT, you reach Botanic Gardens in 16 minutes, Bugis in 25 minutes, and Downtown / Raffles Place in approximately 35 minutes door-to-door. Hillion Mall, Junction 10, and Bukit Panjang Plaza provide immediate shopping, dining, and supermarket access, while the adjacent Senja Hawker Centre is just minutes away on foot. For primary schooling, West View Primary, Greenridge Primary, and Zhenghua Primary are all securely within the priority 1km radius.
Now, the units. CDL is offering 3-bedroom classics and premiums, 4-bedroom premiums with dual-key configurations, and 5-bedroom dual-key layouts. There's also an exclusive penthouse collection. The 3-bed classics start from an estimated S$1.4 million — that's roughly S$1,600 psf for roughly 872–915 sqft. The 4-bed premiums with junior suite run from about S$1.85 million to S$2.05 million. The 5-bed dual-key is projected from approximately S$2.29 million. Every unit comes standard with CDL's signature smart-home automation package — digital locksets, smart air-conditioning pre-cooling, and home energy monitoring. Kitchen appliances and bathroom fittings are premium grade, reflecting CDL's private residential build standard.
Here's the investment thesis. Bukit Panjang hasn't seen EC supply since Blossom Residences launched in 2011. That means over 18,000 mature HDB flats across Bukit Panjang, Cashew, and Choa Chu Kang are chasing an ultra-scarce supply of only ~295 new EC units. Historical EC transaction trends show that suburban ECs in mature estates with direct MRT connections typically capture 25–35% capital gains upon hitting their 5-year MOP. Resale benchmarks like The Skywoods trade around S$1,450–S$1,510 psf for older 99-year stock, while newer private integrated units at Hillion Residences transact at S$1,720–S$1,850 psf. Solano Grand enters at estimated S$1,600 psf, locking in a built-in safety cushion.
Financing and payment flexibility represent another critical advantage. For an entry S$1.40 million 3-bedroom unit, buyers require a 5% cash booking fee (S$70,000), followed by 15% (S$210,000) payable via CPF Ordinary Account savings or cash upon signing the Sale & Purchase agreement. First-timer Singaporean citizen households are eligible for up to S$30,000 in CPF Housing Grants. Buyers can choose between the Normal Progressive Payment (NPP) scheme — where mortgage repayments begin gradually as construction milestones are completed — or the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS), which permits buyers to defer home loan servicing until the Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in 2029.
Why urgency is critical: Solano Grand EC is governed under the pre-May 2026 EC rules, which features the highly favorable 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), 10-year full privatisation, and Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) eligibility. While HDB BTO flats under Prime and Plus models require a 10-year MOP, Executive Condominiums under the pre-May 2026 EC rules still retain the standard 5-year MOP, giving upgraders exceptional capital liquidity and flexibility. With only ~295 units available for an entire western-region upgrader pool hungry for Bukit Panjang's first EC in 15 years, priority VVIP registration is essential to ensure first-mover stack selection.

Eligibility checklist: To purchase an EC, buyers must form an eligible family nucleus under HDB schemes, have at least one Singapore Citizen applicant, and adhere to the prevailing EC household income ceiling of S$16,000 (for sites tendered prior to August 24, 2026). In addition, applicants must not hold or have disposed of private residential property within the preceding 30 months.

Understanding the key differences helps you make the right decision for your family and financial goals.
Best for: HDB upgraders and first-timer families seeking subsidised private housing with strong capital appreciation.
Best for: Buyers who need immediate move-in or are above the EC income ceiling.

Solano Grand EC represents a rare entry point into the Bukit Panjang market — the first EC launch in the area in 15 years. Pricing is estimated from S$1,600 psf, which is competitive compared to nearby resale condos like Hillion Residences transacting above S$1,750 psf. Governed under the pre-May 2026 EC rules, it enjoys the standard 5-year MOP before full privatisation at Year 10 and is eligible for the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS). Historical data shows ECs typically appreciate 25–35% upon privatisation, making this an attractive option for HDB upgraders and first-timer families.
The official developer marketing name is Solano Grand EC (developed by CDL Constellation Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of City Developments Limited, on the Senja Close GLS site). However, "Solana Grand EC" has become an extremely common buyer search variation and phonetic misspelling. Both terms refer to the exact same 295-unit executive condominium in Bukit Panjang (District 23).
The showflat preview is expected in Q3/Q4 2026. Registered clients on our VVIP list will receive priority invitations before the public balloting, which is slated for late 2026. Early registrants also get first pick of unit types and stack levels.
The project is situated directly between Jelapang LRT (BP12, ~3-minute walk) and Senja LRT (BP13, ~4-minute walk). Both stations provide a swift 2-stop loop connection directly into Bukit Panjang MRT Interchange on the Downtown Line (DTL), reaching Botanic Gardens, Bugis, and the CBD in 16 to 35 minutes.
Under the EC rules for land tendered before 8 May 2026, Solano Grand EC features a standard 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), 10-year full privatisation, and eligibility for the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS). The 10-year MOP applies to HDB BTO flats under Prime and Plus models, not Executive Condominiums. Under current EC policy, owners can sell their unit on the open market to Singapore Citizens and PRs after 5 years, and to foreigners after 10 years.
Primary schools within the priority 1km home-school distance radius include West View Primary School, Greenridge Primary School, and Zhenghua Primary School. Schools between 1km and 2km include Bukit Panjang Primary School, Beacon Primary School, and Teck Whye Primary School.
The booking fee is 5% of the purchase price, payable strictly in cash upon securing the Option to Purchase (OTP). The subsequent 15% downpayment is payable within 8–9 weeks via CPF Ordinary Account savings or cash upon signing the Sale & Purchase agreement. First-timer Singaporean buyers may also utilize up to S$30,000 in CPF Housing Grants.
Solano Grand EC offers approximately 295 units across two 26- and 27-storey towers. Layouts range from 3-Bedroom Classic (872–915 sqft), 3-Bedroom Premium (980–1,050 sqft), 4-Bedroom Premium Dual-Key (1,200–1,320 sqft), 5-Bedroom Dual-Key (1,450–1,580 sqft), to exclusive high-ceiling Penthouses (1,650–1,900 sqft). All units feature CDL's smart home system.
