Woodlands Drive 17 EC is the working name for City Developments Limited's upcoming executive condominium at Woodlands Drive 17, District 25, about a five-minute walk from Woodlands South MRT (TE3). CDL Divine won the site in August 2025 with a record $360.9 million bid, or $782 psf ppr, for about 420 homes. It keeps the old five-year MOP. Launch is estimated for late 2026 to early 2027.

CDL Divine Pte Ltd, part of City Developments Limited, won the Woodlands Drive 17 EC site with a bid of $360.9 million, or $782 psf per plot ratio. It was the highest land rate paid for an EC site at the time, 1.8% above the previous record at Tampines Street 95. Five developers bid, and CDL's offer was about 0.2% above the next-highest.

"Wynwood Grand" is the name most property marketing sites use for CDL's Woodlands Drive 17 EC. As at 21 September 2026, we have not found a CDL announcement or HDB record confirming it, so this page uses the working name Woodlands Drive 17 EC until the developer publishes the official name.
Woodlands has not had a new executive condominium since Northwave in 2016. In that time the town's first Thomson-East Coast Line stations opened, Woodlands Health Campus began operating, and about 6,000 Woodlands HDB flats passed their five-year MOP, according to Huttons (EdgeProp, 5 August 2025). For a family that wants to move up without leaving Woodlands, this is the first new EC option in about ten years.
The site sits on Woodlands Drive 17 between the Singapore Sports School and the Woodlands Healing Garden, a therapeutic garden run by NParks. The tender required a wellness-focused design linked to the garden, so green buffers and calm communal spaces are a condition of the land sale rather than a marketing choice.
There are two Woodlands Drive 17 EC sites. This page covers the 1H2025 parcel won by CDL, at the western end near the Healing Garden. The larger 2H2025 parcel to the east, won by Sim Lian in January 2026, is a separate project of about 560 homes. Both keep the old five-year MOP, and CDL's is expected to launch first.

Woodlands Drive 17 EC is about a five-minute walk from Woodlands South MRT (TE3) on the Thomson-East Coast Line. The station has been open since January 2020, so buyers are not waiting on a future line.
From Woodlands South, the Thomson-East Coast Line runs one stop to the Woodlands interchange for the North-South Line and Causeway Point, and two stops to Woodlands North, where the Johor Bahru RTS Link terminates. Heading south, the same line reaches Orchard and Marina Bay without a transfer. Few ECs sit within walking distance of an open station; many are sold on the promise of stations still being built.
For drivers, the Seletar Expressway runs along the south of the site and connects to the Bukit Timah Expressway and the Pan-Island Expressway towards the city and Changi.
| Station | Line | Code | How far | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Woodlands South | Thomson-East Coast | TE3 | About a 5-minute walk | Open since Jan 2020 |
| Woodlands | North-South, Thomson-East Coast | NS9 / TE2 | 1 TEL stop | Open, interchange |
| Woodlands North | Thomson-East Coast, RTS Link | TE1 | 2 TEL stops | Open; RTS Link targeted end 2026 |
| Orchard and Marina Bay | Thomson-East Coast | TE14, TE20 | Direct ride, no transfer | Open |
Walking time as reported by EdgeProp Singapore (5 August 2025); routed times depend on the final site entrances. Station and RTS Link status: LTA Thomson-East Coast Line and Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link project pages.
The RTS Link is the nearest change. LTA targets passenger service at the end of 2026, with a five-minute ride from Woodlands North to Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru and immigration cleared once, at departure. Cross-border projects have slipped before, so treat the exact month as a target rather than a promise.
Around the same time, Woodlands Checkpoint is being expanded for road traffic, and the Woodlands Regional Centre is adding offices, a transport hub and new homes around the Woodlands and Woodlands North stations.

Woodlands is a designated URA Regional Centre, the commercial hub of the North. Several dated, funded projects are under way within a few MRT stops of Woodlands Drive 17 EC, led by the RTS Link to Johor Bahru and the Woodlands Regional Centre.
| Project | Status or target | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Johor Bahru to Singapore RTS Link | End 2026 (LTA target) | Five-minute rail crossing from Woodlands North to Bukit Chagar, up to 10,000 passengers an hour each way |
| Woodlands Regional Centre (about 100 ha) | Phased; first phase around 2030 | Offices, an integrated transport hub and the Woodlands Gateway business district near Woodlands North |
| Woodlands Checkpoint expansion | Committed | A much larger checkpoint for road traffic to Johor Bahru |
| Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone | Agreement signed Jan 2025 | Cross-border business links between Johor and Singapore |
| Woodlands Health Campus | Operating, next to the site | General and community hospital, and specialist care for the North |
For a future resale buyer, the practical effect is a town with its own jobs, hospital and border rail link, rather than a dormitory estate at the end of the line. That matters most after the MOP, when the unit can be sold to other Singapore households, and again after full privatisation, when foreigners and companies can buy.

No price list has been released for Woodlands Drive 17 EC. When the tender closed, Knight Frank estimated that prices could start just above $1,800 psf and average about $1,900 to $2,000 psf. These are analyst estimates, not CDL prices.
The land cost explains why. At $782 psf ppr, CDL paid more for this land than for any EC site before it, and new launch prices generally follow land cost. For comparison, Norwood Grand, CDL's private condo nearby in Woodlands South, averaged $2,066 psf at its October 2025 launch and was 85% sold (EdgeProp). ECs are usually priced below comparable private condos because of the income ceiling and MOP.
| EC site | Awarded | Land psf ppr |
|---|---|---|
| Sembawang Road | Sep 2025 | $692 |
| Plantation Close, Tengah | Feb 2024 | $701 |
| Tampines Street 95 | Oct 2024 | $768 |

For an EC bought from the developer, the loan is limited by the Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR): monthly repayments cannot exceed 30% of gross household income, tested at a 4% interest rate rather than today's lower rates (MAS). Because EC households also earn at most $16,000 a month, MSR often limits the loan more than the 75% loan-to-value cap does. The table shows what that means before any other debts.
| Gross household income | Max monthly instalment (30%) | Max loan, 25 years | Max loan, 30 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| $12,000 | $3,600 | about $682,000 | about $754,000 |
| $14,000 | $4,200 | about $796,000 | about $880,000 |
| $16,000 (EC ceiling) | $4,800 | about $909,000 | about $1,005,000 |
Standard loan formula at 4% a year, rounded to the nearest $1,000, assuming no other debts. Your bank's assessment, tenure limits and any existing loans decide the actual figure. The balance of the price is paid from cash, CPF and, for upgraders, HDB sale proceeds.
On 8 May 2026 the government lengthened the EC Minimum Occupation Period to 10 years and removed the Deferred Payment Scheme for new EC tenders. Woodlands Drive 17 EC is one of five EC projects exempted, because its tender closed before the cut-off.
| Rule | Woodlands Drive 17 EC | ECs tendered 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 | Removed, Normal Payment Scheme only |
| First-timer priority quota | 70% of units | 90% of units |
| First-timer priority period | 1 month | 2 years |
An owner can sell or rent out the whole unit after five years instead of ten. Upgraders still paying off an HDB flat can use the Deferred Payment Scheme to defer most of the price until TOP. And full privatisation, when foreigners and companies may buy, arrives five years sooner than at any EC tendered under the new rules.
The neighbouring Sim Lian site shares the same exemption, so the old terms are not unique to CDL's parcel. The household income ceiling stays at $16,000 a month, MSR still applies to the loan, and whole-unit rental is not allowed until the MOP ends. Five years is also the shortest MOP now left in the EC market.
Sources: EdgeProp Singapore, "Government tightens EC rules with 10-year MOP, Deferred Payment Scheme removal and higher first-timer quota", 10 May 2026; Stacked Homes, 8 May 2026. Eligibility: HDB EC conditions; income ceiling confirmed in Budget 2026.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC suits owner-occupiers who plan to live in Woodlands for at least the five-year MOP. The case for it rests on an open MRT station, the old EC rules and a town with funded growth plans. Buyers should also weigh the record land cost and a larger EC launching next door.
Woodlands' previous new ECs launched a decade ago. Their resale prices in 2025 give a sense of how ECs in this town have performed after MOP and privatisation.
| Project | Launched | Launch psf | 2025 resale psf | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bellewoods, Woodlands Ave 5 | Dec 2014 | $795 | $1,326 | +67% |
| Northwave, Woodlands Ave 12 | Jul 2016 | $750 | $1,262 | +68% |
Huttons data cited by EdgeProp Singapore, 5 August 2025 (resale caveats January to July 2025). Launch prices use a different strata-area basis from resale caveats, which overstates the gain by roughly 5% to 8%. Past performance does not indicate future results.
The MRT is already running, five minutes away. Woodlands has gone about ten years without a new EC, while about 6,000 of its HDB flats have passed their MOP (Huttons, via EdgeProp). CDL's last two ECs sold out, and the old five-year MOP and Deferred Payment Scheme are no longer offered on new EC sites. The RTS Link and Regional Centre are dated, funded projects rather than proposals.
The $782 psf ppr land cost points to high entry prices for an EC, and MSR limits how much a household can borrow. Sim Lian's site next door adds about 560 homes to the same buyer pool, and its construction will likely continue after this project's TOP. Whole-unit rental is not allowed during the five-year MOP. Resale volumes at single EC projects are modest: Bellewoods recorded 16 resale deals and Northwave 33 in the first half of 2025.
There are two new Woodlands ECs on Woodlands Drive 17. Both are about a five-minute walk from Woodlands South MRT and both keep the old five-year MOP. The difference is size, land cost and timing: CDL's smaller site is expected to launch first, at a slightly lower land rate.

Five EC projects in the pipeline were exempted from the May 2026 changes: the two Woodlands Drive 17 sites, Senja Close in Bukit Panjang (also won by CDL, at $771 psf ppr), Sembawang Road ($692 psf ppr) and Miltonia Close in Yishun. Among them, the Woodlands Drive 17 sites are the ones within walking distance of an open MRT station, while Sembawang Road carries the lowest land cost.

Woodlands Drive 17 EC sits in a mature estate with a regional hospital next door, a therapeutic garden beside the site, and Causeway Point one MRT stop away.
Woodlands Health Campus is next to the site, with a general hospital, community hospital and specialist outpatient care for the North.
Causeway Point and Woods Square at the Woodlands interchange, one TEL stop away, plus neighbourhood shops in the surrounding HDB estate.
The Woodlands Healing Garden by NParks borders the site. Admiralty Park and Woodlands Waterfront Park are a short drive away.
Nearby primary schools include Innova Primary, Woodgrove Primary, Si Ling Primary and Woodlands Primary. The development has no registered address yet, so its 1 km and 2 km bands must be checked on MOE SchoolFinder once one is allocated.
Christ Church Secondary and Woodgrove Secondary are in the estate, with the Singapore Sports School next door and Republic Polytechnic in Woodlands.
The Park Connector Network links the Healing Garden to the wider Woodlands trails, and the tender calls for a wellness-focused design with generous greenery.
The Seletar Expressway runs along the south of the site, so check which stacks face it for traffic noise. The Sim Lian EC next door will likely still be under construction when this project completes. Views towards the Healing Garden depend on the site plan, which has not been released. School distances should be confirmed on MOE SchoolFinder once the address is allocated.
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask most about the new Woodlands EC. Last updated: .
Woodlands Drive 17 EC is the working name for the upcoming executive condominium by City Developments Limited (CDL) on the 1H2025 Government Land Sales site at Woodlands Drive 17, District 25. HDB estimates about 420 homes on the 25,207 sqm site, under a 99-year lease. It is the first new Woodlands EC since Northwave launched in 2016.
The name Wynwood Grand is widely used for Woodlands Drive 17 EC on property marketing websites. As at 21 September 2026, we have not found a CDL press release or HDB record announcing an official project name, so this site uses the working name Woodlands Drive 17 EC until the developer confirms the name at launch.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC is on Woodlands Drive 17 in District 25, in the Outside Central Region. The site sits between the Singapore Sports School and the Woodlands Healing Garden, next to Woodlands Health Campus, with the Seletar Expressway along its southern edge. Woodlands South MRT station (TE3) is about a five-minute walk away.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC is being developed by CDL Divine Pte Ltd, a City Developments Limited company. CDL's two previous executive condominiums, Copen Grand in Tengah (639 units) and Lumina Grand in Bukit Batok (512 units), have both sold out. CDL also launched Norwood Grand, a private condo nearby in Woodlands South, in October 2025.
CDL Divine Pte Ltd paid $360.9 million for the Woodlands Drive 17 EC site, or $782 psf per plot ratio, when the HDB tender closed on 5 August 2025. It was the highest land rate paid for an EC site at the time. Five developers bid, and CDL's offer was about 0.2% above the next-highest bid.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC has no price list yet. Knight Frank estimated, when the tender closed, that prices could start just above $1,800 psf and average about $1,900 to $2,000 psf. These are analyst estimates, not developer prices. Norwood Grand, a private condo nearby, averaged $2,066 psf at its October 2025 launch.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC keeps the five-year Minimum Occupation Period. Its tender closed before the EC rule changes announced on 8 May 2026, so it is exempt from the new 10-year MOP. Buyers also keep the Deferred Payment Scheme and full privatisation 10 years after TOP, instead of 15 years for ECs tendered after that date.
To buy a unit at Woodlands Drive 17 EC from the developer, the household's gross monthly income must not exceed $16,000, and at least one applicant must be a Singapore Citizen, with the other a Citizen or Permanent Resident. Applicants who own private residential property must have disposed of it at least 30 months before applying. Confirm your case with HDB's EC eligibility rules.
The nearest MRT station to Woodlands Drive 17 EC is Woodlands South (TE3) on the Thomson-East Coast Line, about a five-minute walk away and open since January 2020. It is one stop from the Woodlands interchange (NS9/TE2) and two stops from Woodlands North (TE1), the Singapore terminus of the Johor Bahru RTS Link.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC has no announced launch date. Developers usually wait about 15 months after an EC land award before launching, which points to a preview between late 2026 and early 2027. TOP is estimated around 2030, based on the tender's completion period. Neither date has been confirmed by CDL.
HDB estimates about 420 homes for Woodlands Drive 17 EC, based on a plot ratio of 1.7 and a maximum gross floor area of 42,853 sqm; some reports cite about 430. The official unit mix is not released. ECs usually offer 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom homes, as they are designed for families.
There are two EC sites on Woodlands Drive 17. The 1H2025 parcel was won by CDL at $782 psf ppr in August 2025, for about 420 homes. The larger 2H2025 parcel was won by Sim Lian at $794 psf ppr in January 2026, for about 560 homes. Both keep the old five-year MOP. CDL's site is expected to launch first.
The last new executive condominium launched in Woodlands was Northwave on Woodlands Avenue 12, in July 2016 at about $750 psf. Bellewoods launched in December 2014 at about $795 psf. Woodlands Drive 17 EC will be the first new Woodlands EC in about ten years.
Woodlands Drive 17 EC suits owner-occupiers planning to stay at least five years. Its strengths are an open MRT station within walking distance, the old five-year MOP, and funded plans for the Woodlands Regional Centre and RTS Link. Buyers should also weigh the record land cost, the larger EC launching next door, and that whole-unit rental is not allowed during the MOP.
Primary schools around Woodlands Drive 17 EC include Innova Primary, Woodgrove Primary, Si Ling Primary and Woodlands Primary, with Christ Church Secondary and Woodgrove Secondary nearby. The development has no registered address yet, so its 1 km and 2 km bands for Primary 1 registration cannot be confirmed on MOE SchoolFinder yet.
