What Is an Executive Condominium (EC)

The executive condominium (EC) is one of the most popular housing types in Singapore. They are more ‘atas’ than HDB flats, and compared to private condominiums, ECs are more attractively priced and come with comparable facilities and design.
EC is a public-private housing hybrid catered for middle-income Singaporeans who don’t qualify for an HDB new flat due to the income ceiling cap, but still consider private condominiums too expensive.
ECs are developed and sold by private developers but are subsidised by the government. As such, while they have condo-like attributes such as swimming pools, gyms, clubhouse and better design, they are cheaper compared to private condos. As former National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan puts it, it’s like buying a Lexus at the price of a Corolla.
