Why Bukit Panjang, Why Now
Bukit Panjang has matured into a well-served town: the Downtown Line runs express-style to the city, Hillion Mall sits on top of the integrated transport hub, and the Jurong Lake District transformation plus Tengah's growth adds a longer-term tailwind for the west.
New EC supply in the west is scarce, and fewer than 250 unsold new EC units island-wide were reported when the Senja Close tender closed — a supply picture that historically supports steady launch-day demand.

Unit Mix & Layouts
The development is expected to offer three- to five-bedroom layouts sized for family living, from efficient three-bedders to premium five-bedroom homes. Sizes below are indicative pending the developer's release.
| Unit Type | Indicative Size | Typical Configuration | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Most Popular 3-Bedroom |
850 – 950 sqft | 3 bed · 2 bath · living/dining · kitchen | First-time EC families |
| 3-Bedroom Premium | 980 – 1,050 sqft | 3 bed · 2 bath · larger living · utility | Families wanting extra space |
| 4-Bedroom | 1,150 – 1,250 sqft | 4 bed · 2–3 bath · yard / yard service | Growing families |
| 4-Bedroom Premium | 1,300 – 1,400 sqft | 4 bed · 3 bath · yard · enclosed kitchen | Upgraders from larger flats |
| 5-Bedroom Premium | 1,500 – 1,600 sqft | 5 bed · 3 bath · enclosed kitchen · yard | Multi-generation living |
Official Floor Plans
CDL has not released the official floor plans for Senja Close EC yet. Detailed plans for all five unit types — with dimensions, bay windows, AC ledges, household shelter and yard positions — will be published on this page the moment they are issued, and sent directly to everyone on our update list.
Meanwhile, the showflat interiors below give a feel for the standard of finish expected.
What to Look For in an EC Floor Plan
- Enclosed vs open kitchen — an enclosed kitchen handles heavy cooking and fumes far better
- Living & dining width — look for at least 3.2 – 3.6 m of clear width for flexible furniture layouts
- Bedroom count vs bedroom size — a genuinely usable third bedroom beats a token fourth
- Yard & household shelter — the shelter counts towards strata area but cannot be used as living space
- Bay windows and planter boxes — they add to the price but not to usable living area
- Stack orientation — avoid direct west sun, and check what each facing wall actually looks at
- AC ledges & service yard — verify maintenance access and condenser placement

Loan, Stamp Duty & Payment Planning
ECs are financed with bank loans only — no HDB loan — up to 75% of the purchase price. Buyers must also clear the Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR): total monthly property debt cannot exceed 30% of gross income.

Stamp Duty Calculator (BSD + ABSD)
Stamp duties are payable within 14 days of exercising the Option to Purchase / S&P.
ABSD (residential): SC 0% / 20% / 30% · PR 5% / 30% / 35% · Foreigner 60%.
Married couples may apply for ABSD remission on a replacement home subject to conditions — speak to us for a case-by-case review.
Progressive Payment Schedule (Normal Scheme)
Under the Normal Progressive Payment Scheme, instalments are released as construction reaches each milestone — so cash flow is spread across the build period instead of paid upfront. Enter a purchase price to see the amounts.
| # | Milestone | % of Price | Typical Timing | Amount Payable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Booking / Option to Purchase | 5% | Day 0 | $80,000 |

The Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) has been withdrawn for EC sites launched under the 1H2026 Government Land Sales programme onwards, so it may or may not be available for this project — please confirm with us.

Senja Close EC — Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to what buyers ask most about this launch, based on the details published so far.
How much will Senja Close EC cost?
The official price list has not been released. Based on the location and recent EC launches, indicative pricing works out to roughly $1,800 or more per square foot, which puts a 900 sq ft three-bedroom unit near $1.65 million. These are planning estimates, not a quotation. Use the price estimator in the Pricing section to test any psf assumption you like.
Where is Senja Close EC located?
Senja Close EC sits on Senja Close in Bukit Panjang, District 23, about a 6-minute walk from Jelapang LRT (BP13), which connects to Bukit Panjang MRT on the Downtown Line. The site plan and location map show the surrounding stations, malls, schools and parks.
Who is the developer of Senja Close EC?
City Developments Limited (CDL) acquired the Senja Close site under the Government Land Sales programme in August 2025. The project is marketed as Solano Grand.
When is Senja Close EC launching, and when is the showflat open?
The launch preview is targeted for Q4 2026, with an estimated TOP around 2029. Both dates are indicative and depend on the developer's schedule. Showflat timing is normally confirmed closer to launch — register your interest and you will be told as soon as it is fixed.
What unit types and sizes will be available?
The project is expected to offer 3- to 5-bedroom units of roughly 850 to 1,600 sq ft, in one 12- to 14-storey block of about 295 to 302 homes. See the floor plan and unit mix section for indicative layouts. Final sizes follow the developer's official plans.
Can I use CPF, an HDB loan or a housing grant to buy an EC?
CPF Ordinary Account savings can go towards the downpayment and monthly instalments, subject to valuation limits and the minimum 5% cash downpayment. HDB loans are not available for EC purchases, so EC buyers use bank financing — but the CPF Housing Grant is available, worth up to $30,000 for eligible first-timer households. Singles buying an EC cannot claim it. Check the conditions on HDB's CPF Housing Grant for an EC page, or run the numbers in the EC loan calculator.
What is the income ceiling and MSR for an EC?
The EC household income ceiling is $16,000 a month. The Mortgage Servicing Ratio caps your monthly housing loan instalment at 30% of gross monthly income, about $4,800 at the ceiling, and the Total Debt Servicing Ratio of 55% applies on top of that. Check whether you qualify with the EC eligibility guide.
Can I sell an executive condominium after 5 years?
ECs carry a 5-year Minimum Occupation Period. After that the unit can be sold to Singapore Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents. From the 10th year the development is fully privatised and units may also be sold to foreigners.
