Yishun’s First EC Site in Five Years Comes to Market
After nearly a decade without fresh EC supply in the area, a new executive condominium site at Miltonia Close has been released under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. The tender opened on 23 December 2025 and will close on 14 April 2026, marking the only EC site in Yishun currently available.
Set within a quiet residential enclave beside Orchid Country Club, the site spans 15,451 sq m and can potentially yield about 430 residential units. Its arrival is timely, particularly given the tight EC supply and strong upgrader demand in the northern region.
While the site is not within walking distance to an MRT station, it offers a different kind of appeal — one centred around greenery, water views, and a more tranquil living environment.

Yishun’s Transformation Story Adds Long-Term Appeal
Yishun is undergoing a broader transformation that could enhance the appeal of future homes in the area. Under the URA 2025 Master Plan, the Orchid Country Club site — whose lease expires in 2030 — is slated for potential rezoning to residential use, subject to planning approval.
In addition, upcoming developments such as the Chencharu housing precinct and plans to rejuvenate parts of the Yishun Industrial Estate along the riverfront are expected to bring new amenities, housing options, and lifestyle improvements to the town.
Importantly, the Miltonia Close EC site will be the first residential development next to this future housing area, placing it in a position to benefit from early-mover advantage within the precinct.
Strong Northern Upgrader Demand Remains a Key Driver
From a demand perspective, the northern region continues to see a steady pipeline of potential EC buyers. Between 2020 and 2027, more than 11,000 HDB flats (three-room and above) in Yishun alone are expected to reach their minimum occupation period (MOP).
Recent performance in the area reinforces this demand:
- North Gaia, the most recent EC in Yishun, was fully sold and completed earlier in 2025
- Available EC stock across the market remains limited
This supply-demand imbalance suggests that a new EC in Yishun could be well received, particularly among upgraders from Yishun, Sembawang, and Woodlands.
A Measured EC Pipeline in the North
Beyond Yishun, several EC sites in the northern region have already been awarded and are expected to launch in 2026 and 2027, including locations at:
- Senja Close
- Woodlands Drive 17
- Sembawang Road
More EC sites at Canberra Drive and Sembawang Drive are also on the GLS Confirmed List for 1H2026.
With multiple projects competing for a finite pool of buyers, developers are likely to adopt more deliberate strategies in site selection, project positioning, and launch timing. Against this backdrop, Miltonia Close stands out as the only EC option within Yishun itself, giving it a distinct identity despite broader northern supply.
