Wei Ling spent three weekends viewing resale condos before her brother-in-law said something obvious: “Why not just check new launches first?” She did. Thomson Reserve had exactly the 3-bedroom layout she wanted — at a lower price than the 2019 resale unit she’d been considering.
That’s the thing about new launch condos in Singapore 2026. The prices aren’t always higher than resale. And for buyers who want a specific layout, floor level, and orientation, buying direct from the developer is the only way to actually choose.
Here’s every major new launch condo in Singapore 2026, with prices, floor plans, and what’s actually worth registering for.

Vela Bay — Berlayar Drive, District 4
Vela Bay is one of only a handful of new launches on the Greater Southern Waterfront in 2026. Limited units, unblocked sea views on selected stacks, and proximity to the HarbourFront–VivoCity node. For buyers positioning for the Southern Waterfront master plan, this is one to watch.

New Launch Condo Floor Plans — What to Look For in 2026
Floor plans matter more than most buyers realise. A 90 sqm 3-bedroom unit can feel significantly larger or smaller depending on layout efficiency.
Things that kill liveability: long corridors eating into net area, planter boxes counted in GFA, bay windows creating awkward furniture arrangements. Things that add value: regular layout (no angled walls), bedrooms that fit a queen + wardrobe, utility rooms that double as storage or helper’s room.
When reviewing floor plans, always check the actual internal dimensions — not just the stated size in sqm.
New Launch vs Resale Condo in Singapore 2026
The answer isn’t always new launch. But the argument for buying new has got stronger.
New launch advantages: Choose your unit, floor, and orientation. Progressive payment (no need to pay full price upfront). Brand new fittings and facilities. No immediate renovation cost.
Resale advantages: Move in immediately. No wait for TOP. Can negotiate price. What you see is what you get.
For most dual-income Singapore couples buying their first private condo, new launch makes more sense — provided the location and price psf are right.
