Solano Grand EC is an upcoming executive condominium (EC) by City Developments Limited (CDL) at Senja Close, Bukit Panjang, District 23. It sits about 360 m from Jelapang LRT, two stops from Bukit Panjang MRT on the Downtown Line. CDL won the 99-year site in August 2025 with a bid of S$252.9 million, about S$771 per square foot per plot ratio, the highest of five bids. The tender estimated about 295 units.

Because the tender closed in August 2025, Solano Grand keeps the older EC rules: a 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and a S$16,000 household income ceiling.
Can you buy it?
You will need an eligible Singapore Citizen household earning S$16,000 a month or less, with no private property owned or sold in the last 30 months, and remaining housing subsidy eligibility. Foreigners cannot buy a new EC. Check your own case on HDB's EC eligibility page.
It suits families who want to stay around Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang, and who are comfortable with an LRT ride to the MRT in exchange for EC pricing.
The trade-offs to weigh
- No MRT within walking distance. Jelapang LRT is close, but you change to the Downtown Line at Bukit Panjang.
- It is a small development. At roughly 300 units, there are fewer stacks to choose from, and fewer households to share the cost of facilities, which usually means a higher monthly maintenance fee per unit than a 500-unit EC.
- The 5-year MOP. You cannot sell, rent out the whole unit or buy another residential property during it.
How many units
The tender estimated about 295. Reports since have put CDL's plan at around 306 across two high-rise towers. Neither is final until CDL publishes the unit mix, so treat any figure you see today as an estimate.
A 5-year MOP EC against a 10-year one
Solano Grand is on the older rules. EC sites tendered from 8 May 2026 carry a 10-year MOP, no Deferred Payment Scheme and a longer first-timer priority window. If there is a real chance you will sell or upgrade within ten years, that difference matters more than a small gap in price per square foot. Our guide to the EC MOP and resale rules sets both out side by side.
An EC against a nearby private launch
A private launch nearby has no income ceiling and no MOP, but expect a higher price per square foot and the full Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty position if it is not your first property. Compare the whole payment schedule rather than the headline price, in the compare tool.

Primary school distance decides Primary 1 priority, so measure your exact block on OneMap rather than relying on a marketing map. More in the District 23 guide.
Unit types, floor plans and facilities
CDL has not released the unit mix, floor plans or facilities. We will add each one here, with a short note on the layout, once they are out.
Costs and financing
An EC cannot be bought with an HDB loan. You will need a bank loan of up to 75% of the price, and your mortgage repayment cannot exceed 30% of your gross monthly income under the Mortgage Servicing Ratio when you buy from the developer. The usual schedule is a 5% booking fee when the developer issues the Option to Purchase, a further 15% within 8 weeks, then progressive payments as construction reaches each stage. You can use CPF Ordinary Account savings for the downpayment and the instalments. Run the numbers in the mortgage calculator.
