How Does Buying at Sengkang Connection Work, Step by Step?

Published 7 October 2026

Buying a unit at Sengkang Connection follows the standard sequence for a new-launch industrial development: register, review the released plans and pricing, book a unit with an Option to Purchase, sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement, then pay in stages under the Progressive Payment Scheme through to completion. Construction is scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2029, so the payments spread across the build rather than falling at once.

Each step has its own paperwork and cash requirement. This post walks through them in order, with statutory points stated as at October 2026.

Registering Before the Sengkang Connection Launch

The first step is registration. The developer releases the e-brochure, floor plans, site plan, unit mix and price list as the launch programme opens, and registered parties receive each one as it is issued, ahead of public release. New B2 strata supply is tightly controlled by JTC, and the better-configured units in a scheme are frequently taken during the preview window.

Registration carries no obligation. It simply puts your requirement on record — the floor area, power and vehicle access your operation needs — so that matching units can be flagged as soon as the unit mix is released.

This is also the time to prepare. Decide whether the purchase will be personal or through a company, speak to a banker about an indicative loan amount and tenure, and take tax advice on the GST position of the buying entity. The industrial loan information page explains how banks approach industrial lending.

Booking a Unit at Sengkang Connection

When the price list is released, you review the floor plans and the pricing page, attend a viewing at the sales gallery and select a unit. The sales gallery location and viewing times are confirmed directly when you book an appointment.

Booking is made with an Option to Purchase. The booking fee and the Sale and Purchase Agreement together make up a single 20% S&P period, payable across roughly eight weeks from booking to signing, and normally funded from cash with GST at 9% on top where the seller is GST-registered.

Buyer's Stamp Duty is payable within 14 days of exercising the Option to Purchase or signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement, at marginal rates from 1% to a top rate of 5%. No Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty arises on an industrial purchase. The stamp duty and GST page sets out the bands.

The Sengkang Connection Payment Stages

After the S&P period, payments follow construction milestones, each certified by the project architect before the developer may invoice. Under the standard industrial schedule, the stages are:

• completion of foundation work — 10%;
• completion of the reinforced concrete framework — 10%;
• walls, ceiling, doors and windows, electrical and sanitary works, and car park, roads and drains — 5% each;
• Temporary Occupation Permit — 25%;
• completion, on issue of the Certificate of Statutory Completion — the final 10%.

GST at 9% falls due alongside every instalment. The bank disburses the loan progressively against the architect's certificates, so interest builds only on what has been drawn. The exact schedule is set in the Sale and Purchase Agreement; the payment scheme page shows the indicative timeline for each stage.

From TOP to Completion at Sengkang Connection

The 25% due at the Temporary Occupation Permit is the largest single instalment, and it coincides with the point at which you take possession and can begin fitting out. Units hand over bare, with services capped for the owner's fit-out, so many owner-occupiers plan their fit-out contractor and move date well before TOP.

Planning the fit-out early pays off. Machinery orders, power upgrades within the capped services, racking and office partitions all have lead times, and an owner-occupier that has its contractor ready at TOP shortens the period in which it pays for both old and new premises.

The final 10% is released on completion, once the Certificate of Statutory Completion is issued. Soilbuild Construction Group announced on 11 February 2026 that its subsidiary had been awarded the construction contract for the 8-storey factory, scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2029. That date sits well inside JTC's 84-month Project Completion Period.

After Completion at Sengkang Connection

Once the unit is complete, the owner operates from it or leases it out, subject to JTC's usage and occupation conditions. Seller's Stamp Duty applies if an industrial unit is sold within three years of purchase — 15%, 10% and 5% in the first, second and third year — and nil after that, so the holding plan should look beyond that window.

The industrial purchase calculator lays out every stage of this timeline for any price you enter: the cash at booking, the loan disbursement during construction and the monthly repayment after completion. Register with the Sales Concierge through the enquiry form and the launch releases reach you as they are issued.
