Bookings for Lucerne Grand opened on Saturday, 3 October 2026, roughly two weeks after its showflat preview began on 18 September. City Developments Limited (CDL) is selling 570 homes spread over five towers of 17 storeys each on Lakeside Drive, with a direct connection to Lakeside MRT station. For anyone tracking a pre-launch project elsewhere outside the central region, the calendar this launch now follows is a handy template of what comes once the doors open.
A preview is the stretch when the showflat opens, brochures circulate and price lists appear, yet nothing has been committed. At Lucerne Grand that window lasted a little over a fortnight. Visitors could study the published starting prices: a 624 sq ft two-bedroom from $1.498 million, an 883 sq ft three-bedroom from $1.988 million and a 1,152 sq ft four-bedroom from $2.788 million, per CDL. The purpose of the window is preparation, which means shortlisting stacks, securing a loan assessment and settling whose names will go on the purchase.
Booking day turns interest into a formal step. A buyer picks a unit, pays a booking fee and receives an option to purchase, followed by a fixed period to exercise it and sign the sale and purchase agreement. The exact percentages and deadlines come from the authorities and the developer's documents, so confirm them with your conveyancing lawyer or the relevant agency instead of leaning on a summary. Stamp duty also becomes payable within a set period after signing, which is why buyers tend to line up cash and CPF before the day itself.
With the contract signed, the project enters its building phase. Under the standard scheme for homes under construction, instalments are triggered by milestones such as foundation, structure and roofing rather than paid in full up front. That spreads the outlay across several years, although the loan starts drawing down as each stage is certified. The completion date for Lucerne Grand is set out in its sales documents, and buyers there should read it in the contract rather than a brochure.
The Temporary Occupation Permit marks the moment owners can collect keys and move in or start renting. A defects inspection follows, and legal completion comes later still. At Lakeside, CDL plans a level-1 podium called Lucerne Galleria with a supermarket alongside food and retail units, so its opening will shape day-to-day convenience once residents arrive. EdgeProp Singapore has traced the project back to a government land sale in June 2025.
One Chuan Grove is earlier in the same sequence. The 99-year leasehold parcel off Lorong Chuan in District 19 went to a joint venture of Sing Holdings (65%) and Sunway Developments (35%), and it is planned for around 550 homes, a scale close to the Lakeside project. Its nearest station is Lorong Chuan on the Circle Line, about 520 metres from the site. No preview date, unit mix or price list has been issued, so stage one has not begun here yet. Our Lorong Chuan location guide covers the surroundings in the meantime, and the One Chuan Grove homepage carries the full project record.
