Aurelle @ Tampines EC, Singapore’s first executive condominium launch of 2025, captured the market’s attention by selling out with remarkable speed, as 682 of its 760 units were snapped up on the very first day. This impressive take-up rate, reaching 90%, reflected strong demand from first-time homeowners and HDB upgraders, with all 4- and 5-bedroom units gone by evening. The average price sat at about $1,766 per square foot, making it an affordable entry into private housing, especially when compared to other recent ECs. Notably, the 30% quota for second-time buyers filled up by midday, adding a dash of excitement to the frenzy. This was further supported by over 1,700 applications received electronically, highlighting the project’s immense popularity.
Aurelle @ Tampines EC wowed with a 90% sell-out on day one, attracting first-timers and upgraders at just $1,766 psf.
Developed by the reputable Sim Lian Group, Aurelle sits in Tampines North, where 14 residential blocks rise 14 storeys high, offering units from 840 to 1,356 square feet. The project’s modern design and nature-inspired facilities, like seven pools, a Grand Clubhouse, and a Treehouse Pod, cater to families and young professionals seeking balance.
For instance, features such as the Tennis Court, Adventure Playground, and Forest Gourmet Dining provide recreational spots that blend luxury with tranquility, which surely sweetened the deal for buyers.
Its strategic location at Tampines Street 62 enhances appeal, being near top schools, shopping malls, and green spaces, while major expressways facilitate easy connectivity. This setup not only supports daily commutes but also aligns with Tampines’ urban renewal plans, making it a smart choice for long-term living.
With prices positioned competitively, experts predict value appreciation over time, perhaps even doubling, which kept buyers buzzing. The project follows other successful launches like Lumina Grand, which achieved a 53% take-up rate during its initial launch in January 2024.
The launch’s success, part of a weekend where over 1,000 homes sold across projects, underscores Singapore’s robust EC demand amid limited supply. Sim Lian’s timing and marketing, following land acquisition in 2023 for $543.28 million, played a key role, turning heads in a competitive market.
All remaining units vanished shortly after balloting lifted restrictions, leaving enthusiastic home seekers with a light-hearted reminder: in Tampines, opportunities can vanish faster than a quick MRT ride.
