Evidence
Start with the home your family needs
For many families, staying in the area means keeping the routines that already work: school, work journeys and help from parents nearby. The next question is how much more space you need and what you want that space to do.
Choose your preferred bedroom count, then keep a few completed homes alongside Solano on the shortlist. Once the EC layouts arrive, we can compare room dimensions, storage, the dining area and where a work desk would fit. That makes the comparison about homes you would enjoy living in.
Analysis · opinion
How I would choose
The price range I would prepare around
My estimates for Solano are about S$1,810–S$1,870 psf, based on the land and launch prices of the last four EC launches used in my pricing analysis. I would also test your budget at S$2,000 psf, allowing for the possibility of a higher actual price. These are my estimates, rather than prices announced by CDL or a guarantee.
For nearby context, The Myst’s homes of three-bedroom size recorded a median of S$2,010 psf across 95 sales from July 2023 to August 2026. That is historical evidence; it is not a current price quote or a comparison of identical homes.
For a Bukit Panjang family, staying close to work, school and family support can make the next move much easier. Solano Grand gives you a new EC option to prepare for. I would compare it with completed homes you would actually be happy to own, using the following price context.

A starting point for the budget
My estimates are about S$1,810–S$1,870 psf. I would also test your budget at S$2,000 psf, with room for a higher actual price.
The Myst provides a nearby historical reference: homes of three-bedroom size recorded a median of S$2,010 psf across 95 sales from July 2023 to August 2026. For a completed-home shortlist, we will use the selected homes’ asking prices and recent sales.
How you pay
CDL has confirmed a Deferred Payment Scheme option. Compare the actual price and detailed terms with the normal payment route when released.
Plan the payments through purchase completion alongside the funds available from your current home.
When you can move
Plan around construction and key collection.
Check the agreed possession date and allow time for renovation. The Myst’s historical sales figure does not establish that a home there is available for immediate occupation.
Whether you can buy
Your household must meet HDB’s EC eligibility rules.
Private-property purchase rules apply; check your buyer profile, ownership, stamp duties and financing.
Planning beyond the move
Five-year minimum occupation period from TOP.
No EC minimum occupation period; other applicable purchase and resale rules still apply.
The Solano figures are my own estimates, worked out from the land and launch prices of the last four EC launches used in my pricing analysis. They are not CDL’s prices or a guarantee. Actual prices could be lower or higher, including above S$2,000 psf. The Myst’s median is a historical transaction reference, not a current quotation. The references cover different projects and sale periods on their stated area bases; they do not establish the premium or discount for a matched home.
DPS gives an HDB owner another way to organise later payments. Its usefulness depends on the actual terms, the price of the selected home and the funds available from your current flat. We can compare both payment routes once the details are released.
For a completed home, we would instead work backwards from the agreed possession date and renovation period. If you have a firm deadline for moving, that timetable should help shape the shortlist from the start.
Every purchase has its own risks. For anything that could apply to yours, speak to me directly.
