HDB MOP Pipeline 2026–2035: The Upgrader Wave

How This Is Built

MOP year = key collection year + 5

Method & Confidence Levels

2026–2031 — Actual completed blocks. Every completed HDB block in the HDB Property Information dataset (data.gov.sg), aggregated by completion year, town, and flat type. Sellable totals exclude HDB rental units. The 2021 cohort sums to exactly 13,484 sold units — matching published 2026-MOP counts to the unit.
MOP timing. MOP runs from key collection, not building completion, so a block can tip into the neighbouring year. Treat each cohort as a 12–18 month window centred on the year shown.
2032–2035 — Projected from the construction pipeline. 91,941 units were under construction as at March 2025, and HDB is launching ~19,600 BTO flats a year with ~4-year build times. Construction delays can shift a cohort by 6–12 months.

The one-glance table. Pick the MOP years and flat types you care about — towns re-rank instantly by total units. MOP 2026–2031 come from actual completed blocks; 2032–2035 (*) are compiled from announced launches and estimated completion dates — see the disclaimer below the table.

MOP Year

Flat Type

Disclaimer for 2032–2035 (*) — these years are built from announced data only: BTO projects already launched, with HDB’s estimated completion dates (including announced delays) where published, otherwise an assumed ~4-year build from launch; MOP = estimated key collection + 5 years. Flat-type splits for these cohorts are not shown († = total includes units whose type mix isn’t compiled), and units land in the year shown only approximately — construction delays shift them later. Named Prime and Plus projects (10-year MOP, e.g. Stirling Horizon, Alexandra Peaks/Vista, Clementi Emerald, Toa Payoh Ascent) are excluded, but some remaining projects from Oct 2024 onwards may also be Plus/Prime and would drop out of these cohorts. 2035 reflects launches announced up to mid-2026 — the July/October 2026 and later exercises will add several thousand more units. MOP 2031 is partial (2026 completions still being added). Rental blocks excluded throughout.

What The Numbers Mean

Three things the pipeline tells you

01

2026 is the tightest year — then the gates open

The COVID construction trough means 2026's MOP cohort (13,484) is the smallest for a decade. From 2028 onward, every single year releases ~18,000–21,000 newly sellable flats. Upgrader supply — and upgrader demand for the next home — steps up permanently.

02

The wave moves: Punggol → Tengah → Bayshore

2026–27 is Punggol and Sengkang's moment. 2029–2032 belongs to Tengah (~30,000 flats planned, half already completed). 2033–2035 shifts east to Bayshore and central to Mount Pleasant. Where the MOP wave lands is where fresh upgrader budgets appear.

03

MOP sellers are tomorrow's condo buyers

A five-year-old flat in a young estate typically sells at a strong price to buyers who missed the BTO. That freed-up equity is exactly the buyer pool that re-prices nearby condos — the pattern behind several of our caveat-data case studies.

The Decade In One Line

Between 2026 and 2035, roughly 190,000 households cross their MOP line — about 19,000 a year gaining the right to sell, most of them in young estates where resale demand is strongest.

Your flat's MOP is a one-time window. Plan it before it opens.

Sell, hold, or upgrade — the right answer depends on your estate's supply wave, your entry price, and what the caveat data says about your next purchase. Get a data-first read before you decide.
