Upcoming Condo TOP Units After August 2026: A Four-Project Watchlist

Upcoming condo TOP units could add listings after August 2026. Check which four project estimates still match current disclosures.

Ming Chen ·

URA's second-quarter pipeline expects 5,012 private homes to complete in the second half of 2026. A February project sheet placed four large developments in the period after August. Current disclosures support only Pinetree Hill as a fresh late-2026 completion target, so buyers and tenants should wait for new handover notices on the other three.

Upcoming condo TOP units in the February watchlist

The supplied Huttons “TOP Projects 2026” sheet, dated 11 February 2026, listed Grand Dunman, Pinetree Hill, The LakeGarden Residences and Hillock Green for completion during the second half of the year. Together, the projects contain 2,308 homes.

Primary sources available on 5 August give a different timetable:

ProjectHomesFebruary sheet estimateCurrent primary disclosurePlanning position after August
Pinetree Hill5203Q 2026SingLand: on track for 2H 2026Keep on the late-2026 watchlist
Grand Dunman1,0083Q–4Q 2026SingHaiyi: expected completion in 2028Do not plan a 2026 move without a new notice
The LakeGarden Residences306December 2026Expected vacant possession by 29 August 2027Use 2027 as the planning date
Hillock Green4742H 2026Expected vacant possession by 15 January 2028Use 2028 as the planning date

The dates describe different things. A corporate completion target records the developer's current programme. An expected vacant-possession date provides the later date stated in project sales information. A project can obtain its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) before that possession date. A buyer should wait for a new developer notice before using an earlier marketing estimate.

Pinetree Hill is the live late-2026 candidate

SingLand's 2025 annual report said Pinetree Hill was on track to complete in the second half of 2026. The developer had booked 480 of its 520 homes by 31 December 2025.

Buyers looking for a regular layout should check current developer stock and owner listings. Before TOP, an owner transaction is a subsale of an uncompleted property. After TOP, buyers follow the completed-property process and can inspect the actual unit. Our Pinetree Hill review covers the remaining stock, location and exact-unit checks.

The TOP date and key date can differ. BCA says a TOP allows occupation once a development has met the necessary requirements and agency clearances. The developer still controls block handovers, defect inspections and key appointments, so one project-level announcement does not put every unit on the market that week.

Three projects need a later planning date

The current SingHaiyi project page gives Grand Dunman an expected completion in 2028. The official project site states expected vacant possession by 31 December 2028. The February forecast of 3Q–4Q 2026 should not drive a lease termination or moving booking without a new developer notice.

The official LakeGarden Residences site states expected vacant possession by 29 August 2027. The official Hillock Green site gives 15 January 2028. Both could finish ahead of those dates. Neither primary disclosure confirms a post-August 2026 handover.

Readers tracking all four projects can use the February sheet as a construction watchlist. They should use the current primary dates for financial commitments.

TOP creates three types of market supply

A project containing 520 homes does not create 520 listings. Owners choose among occupation, rental and sale, while the developer may retain a small stock of unsold units.

Listing typeSeller or landlordBuyer or tenant check
Remaining developer unitHousing developerCurrent price list, actual unit, payment timeline
Owner resale after TOPOriginal purchaserCaveat, Seller's Stamp Duty date, defects and title
Rental listingOwner or agentKey availability, defects, inventory and lease start

Owners who purchased these projects in 2023 fall under the three-year Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) holding period that applied to homes bought from 11 March 2017 to 3 July 2025. Each seller must check the acquisition and disposal dates. TOP does not start or end the SSD clock.

The resale condo due-diligence checklist sets out the title, transaction and inspection checks. A buyer considering remaining stock should use the separate guide to buying a completed new launch.

Renters and nearby owners should watch the first handovers

Pinetree Hill can add rental choice around Pine Grove, Mount Sinai and Dover if several owners collect keys in the same period. A renter gains the most choice after the first batch of defect checks and fit-outs, rather than on the TOP announcement date. A landlord in an older nearby project should compare asking rents against the first furnished listings, not against Pinetree Hill's launch prices.

Grand Dunman would have a larger local effect because it contains 1,008 homes near Dakota MRT. Current primary sources place that effect later than the February 2026 sheet suggested. The LakeGarden Residences and Hillock Green also belong in later rental-supply planning until their developers publish earlier handover notices.

URA's latest aggregate remains the wider benchmark. Its second-quarter 2026 statistics show 5,012 private units expected to complete in 2H2026, based on dates reported by developers. The four projects in one marketing sheet account for only part of that island-wide total.

Verify four items before acting on a TOP estimate

Check the dates in this order:

  1. Ask whether BCA has issued TOP for the development or the relevant block.
  2. Get the developer's key-collection schedule for the exact unit.
  3. Confirm whether the listing is a developer sale, subsale or completed resale.
  4. Match your loan, lease termination or sale completion to the key date, with a buffer for defects and moving work.

BCA explains the occupation threshold on its TOP and CSC application page. Buyers who need documentary confirmation can ask a lawyer about BCA's legal requisition service.

Pinetree Hill deserves attention after August because its developer has kept a second-half 2026 corporate target. The other projects need a fresh primary notice before a buyer, owner or tenant commits money to a 2026 handover.

Frequently asked questions

Which condos will TOP after August 2026?
Pinetree Hill remains the clearest late-2026 candidate among the four projects in the February 2026 Huttons sheet. SingLand said it was on track to complete in the second half of 2026. Current primary disclosures give later possession or completion dates for Grand Dunman, The LakeGarden Residences and Hillock Green, so confirm any early-TOP claim with the developer.
How many private homes are expected to TOP in the second half of 2026?
URA reported 5,012 private residential units with planning approval and expected completion in the second half of 2026. The figure comes from completion dates reported by developers as at the end of the second quarter. It is an island-wide pipeline estimate, not a promise that every unit will receive keys before year-end.
Does TOP mean condo units will be listed for sale?
No. TOP allows occupation. Owners still decide whether to move in, rent or sell. New listings can include remaining developer stock, owner resales and rentals, and each category follows a different purchase or tenancy process.
How do I check whether a condo has obtained TOP?
Ask the developer or seller for the issued Temporary Occupation Permit and the key-collection schedule for the exact block. BCA can also provide the status of the latest TOP or Certificate of Statutory Completion through a legal requisition. A marketing estimate or construction photograph does not confirm that BCA has issued TOP.
