ZaiDean’s POV: Is Northwave EC a Good Catch?

When clients ask me about Northwave Executive Condominium, I usually say this: it’s one of those projects that quietly checks a lot of boxes without being in the spotlight.

Here’s how I see it 👇

✅ Why Northwave EC is a Good Catch

• Space and Layouts Many newer ECs are cutting down on usable space, but Northwave gives you practical layouts. The rooms are decently sized, and the absence of oversized balconies or long corridors means you’re not paying for “dead space.” This makes it especially attractive for families.
• Family-Centric Facilities It’s rare to find an EC that offers both a sports hall for badminton and a skate park. Add to that the 50m pool, kids’ play decks, and futsal court—it’s designed with growing families in mind. If you’ve got active kids, this is a bonus.
• Location Sweet Spot Northwave sits between Woodlands and Sembawang, which means you’re near mature estate conveniences (shopping malls, schools, transport) but you’re not paying the premium of an Orchard or Bishan EC. With the North-South Corridor completing in the future, accessibility will improve even further.
• Price Advantage Compared to newer EC launches, Northwave’s resale prices are still relatively reasonable (in the $1,300–1,400 psf range). For families who want the benefits of an EC without stretching their budget too thin, this is an entry point worth considering.
• Investment Angle With Woodlands undergoing transformation (Woodlands Regional Centre, Johor–SG RTS link), Northwave stands to benefit from long-term upside. Demand for rentals is healthy—families working in the north and expats near the American School often look here.

The Cons You Should Weigh

• Not Next to MRT While Admiralty and Sembawang MRT are within reach, it’s still about a 15-minute walk. There’s a bus service that shortens this, but if MRT doorstep living is a priority, this is a compromise.
• Limited Shops Within Walking Distance Unlike ECs that are integrated with malls, Northwave doesn’t have retail directly below. You’ll rely on nearby malls (Causeway Point, Sun Plaza, Northpoint) or short drives.
• Competition in the North With several ECs in Sembawang and Woodlands (like Parc Life, Forestville, The Visionaire), Northwave competes directly for buyers and tenants. But what helps is its unique mix of sports/recreation facilities.
• Lease Decay Consideration Being completed in 2019, it still has a healthy lease left. But as with all ECs, lease decay will be something to plan for long-term, especially if you’re thinking beyond the 20–30 year mark.

ZaiDean’s Advice

If you’re a family buyer, Northwave EC offers strong value—especially if you appreciate space, lifestyle facilities, and a location that’s developing positively.

If you’re an investor, I’d position it as a play on Woodlands’ transformation. Rental yields won’t be sky-high, but capital growth could be steady given the upcoming connectivity upgrades.

The key is: buy it at the right price. Look at comparable ECs in the north, and make sure you’re entering within the $1,300–$1,400 psf band for long-term comfort.
