Solano Grand: research and buying notes

Checked 20 Oct 2026 against the sources listed at the foot of this page.

Who can buy, and the rules that apply

The dates of this site's land tender put it on the earlier EC rules: a household income ceiling of $16,000, a minimum occupation period of 5 years from TOP, and resale limited to citizens and PRs for the first 10 years after TOP. HDB sets the rest: who may form a household (a citizen applicant of at least 21, or two to four citizen singles of at least 35), and tests on private property and earlier subsidies.

James's guide takes a household through every test, the grants and the bank's own loan assessment: buying a new EC (opens JamesWongHomes.com).

How the price is paid

The EC agreement is in a prescribed form, and its normal schedule spreads the price from booking to completion: a fifth by signing, two fifths as the building goes up, a quarter after TOP and the remainder at the end. Solano Grand's own payment schemes are not out yet; a deferred scheme exists only if the developer offers one.

Stage by stage, and how a deferred scheme differs: NPS and DPS compared (opens JamesWongHomes.com).

Upgrading from an HDB flat, or buying your first home

Owners of an HDB flat can book first and sell later; HDB's deadline is six months after the EC's keys. The trade-off between selling early and staying put is set out in James's guide for HDB owners (opens JamesWongHomes.com); buyers without a flat to sell have a first-timer's checklist (opens JamesWongHomes.com).

One recorded move: owners at 635B Senja Road, Bukit Panjang, bought at Copen Grand under its Deferred Payment Scheme with an EC bridging loan and lived in their flat while it was built; the sale was then timed with the buyers' agreement. Read the 635B Senja Road case (opens JamesWongHomes.com). It was exceptional, case-specific coordination for a different project at an earlier time, and says nothing about the financing, timing or approvals available for this launch.

Still to be announced

CDL has yet to publish prices, layouts or the mix of unit types, its payment schemes, a booking date or a TOP date. We will check the record above again when it does.
