When Will Sora Be Completed, and What Happens Until Then?

Sora Completion Dates in Brief

The developer’s brochure gives 31 October 2028 as the expected date of vacant possession for Sora and 31 October 2031 as the expected date of legal completion. The homes are sold under construction, so the dates that apply to a particular home are those in its sale and purchase agreement.

Construction began with a ground-breaking on 29 April 2024, and the four towers are being built by the main contractor, Nakano Singapore. The sections below set out the timeline so far and what each milestone means for a buyer.

Vacant Possession and Legal Completion at Sora

Vacant possession is the handover of the finished home to the buyer, and the developer expects it by 31 October 2028. Legal completion comes later, and the developer expects it by 31 October 2031; under the payment scheme, the final 15% of the price is paid at the Certificate of Statutory Completion.

Both are the expected dates in the developer’s brochure. The dates written into each home’s sale and purchase agreement are the ones that bind, and the Sales Concierge confirms them for any home on the price list.

How Payments Follow the Construction of Sora

Because Sora is sold under construction, the price is paid in instalments that follow the building work under the progressive payment scheme. After the 5% booking fee and the 15% due with the sale and purchase agreement, each certified stage brings an instalment: the foundation, the reinforced concrete framework, the partition walls, the roofing and ceiling, the doors, windows, electrical wiring and plumbing, and the car park, roads and drains.

A quarter of the price falls due at the Temporary Occupation Permit and the final 15% at the Certificate of Statutory Completion. A home booked after some stages are certified carries those instalments from the outset, on the timetable in its sale and purchase agreement. The post on the progressive payment scheme at Sora goes through each stage.

What Is Being Built at Sora

The building plans approved for the site describe two blocks of 20 storeys and two of 12 storeys, 440 homes, a single basement car park and communal facilities, on a 99-year leasehold estate of 17,834.8 square metres with a plot ratio of 2.1. ADDP Architects designed the towers, with curving balconies, coloured sun-shading ledges and a wave-shaped roof crown enclosing the Sky 360 terraces.

Below ground, the single basement holds 352 car lots and four accessible lots; above, the developer’s site plan numbers 71 facilities, 47 on the first storey and 24 on the Sky 360 roofs. Ecoplan Asia is the landscape consultant, and Nakano Singapore, part of a Japanese construction group with almost five decades of work in Singapore, is the main contractor. The developer page sets out the team.

The 99-Year Lease of Sora

Sora stands on Lot 00813V of Mukim 06, a 99-year leasehold estate whose lease began on 30 August 2023, according to the developer’s brochure. The site is the former Park View Mansions, bought through a collective sale in 2022.

The project details page lists the lot, the site area, the plot ratio and the building plan approval numbers.

Around Sora by Completion

The neighbourhood is changing too. The Land Transport Authority expects the east branch of the Jurong Region Line, through Jurong East to Pandan Reservoir, to open in 2028, the same year as the expected vacant possession of Sora, and the second phase of the Cross Island Line to reach a Jurong Lake District station by 2032.

The new Science Centre is being built on the lake near Chinese Garden station, and the post on the MRT stations near Sora sets out the rail plans in full.
