Why Grand Dunman matters
Three factors give Grand Dunman its character. First, the location: 1 Dunman Road, Singapore 439425 sits in D15 — Katong, Marine Parade, East Coast, placing residents within commuting reach of Dakota MRT (Circle Line). Second, scale — at 1008 units the development has the amenity envelope to sustain a thorough facilities programme without overcrowding. Third, the developer: SingHaiyi Group (SHG (DM) Pte Ltd) carries a track record across Singapore private residential history, which materially reduces build-quality and scheduling risk.
Against that backdrop, the pricing envelope of S$2,500 – S$2,720 psf (launch price band) puts Grand Dunman on the same psf page as its comparable launches in the micro-market, while the 99-year leasehold tenure structure offers a predictable financing and CPF treatment for Singapore-citizen and PR buyers.
Project fact sheet
Unit mix and indicative pricing
The unit mix below reflects the developer’s public price guide. Prices are indicative starts; the top of each type sits approximately 6-12% above the entry figure, depending on floor level, stack and facing. All prices are inclusive of Goods & Services Tax where applicable and before ABSD.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom + Study | 484 – 527 sqft | 196 units | S$1.25M onwards |
| 2-Bedroom | 657 – 721 sqft | 260 units | S$1.67M onwards |
| 2-Bedroom Premium + Study | 764 – 829 sqft | 172 units | S$1.95M onwards |

Price per square foot — how to read the psf band
A launch psf band is not a single number — it is a distribution. At the bottom sit the low-floor, less-favoured facings. At the top sit the premium stacks, typically upper floors with unblocked facing and north-south orientation. For Grand Dunman, the indicative band of S$2,500 – S$2,720 psf (launch price band) gives you a negotiation window: buyers who enter on preview weekend and close a unit in the median third of the band tend to ride the psf uplift as the developer releases subsequent phases at 3-5% higher average prices.
Project highlights
The design team led by P&T Consultants Pte Ltd has organised the site around seven residential towers (mix of 18-, 19- and 21-storey blocks) with a central facilities spine. Orientation has been optimised for north-south exposure on the majority of stacks, keeping morning and afternoon heat load off the main living areas. Landscape design by Salad Dressing Landscape Architects knits a continuous pedestrian experience across the site, with mature-species specimen trees retained where site conditions allow.
Highlights at a glance
- Seven residential towers (mix of 18-, 19- and 21-storey blocks) providing a low-density feel relative to the typical city-fringe tower.
- Unit mix skewed toward efficient 1-bed + study and 2-bed layouts (addressing investor demand) plus family-sized 3- and 4-bed options.
- 99-year leasehold tenure structure aligned with CPF Ordinary Account withdrawal rules for Singapore-citizen and PR buyers.
- Completion schedule Expected TOP: 4Q 2028 · Legal completion: 30 June 2029 — matched to the progressive payment scheme illustrated below.
Connectivity
MRT: Dakota MRT (Circle Line) — approx. 250 m, 3-minute walk; Mountbatten MRT (CCL) — 750 m. Walking time: 3 minutes on foot to Dakota MRT.
Expressways: The site offers direct access onto the arterial network, with city-centre commutes clocking in at 15-25 minutes in off-peak conditions.
Bus: Feeder bus services along the main road connect residents to interchanges and neighbourhood nodes within 5-8 minutes.
Lifestyle and amenities
Residents are within comfortable reach of neighbourhood-scale F&B, grocery anchors (FairPrice, Cold Storage or Giant, depending on precinct), hawker centres, wet markets and places of worship. Educational catchments include primary schools and secondary schools within a 2 km radius under the MOE Phase 2C priority rules — a non-trivial factor for owner-occupier families.
Facilities programme
The facilities deck delivers the full city-fringe specification:
- Two 50 m lap pools, hydrotherapy pool and Jacuzzi cove
- Family-sized splash pool, wading pool and children’s tropical garden
- Two gymnasiums, yoga pavilion and pilates studio
- Tennis court and half-basketball court
- Grand arrival lobby, concierge lounge and guest suites
- Six themed pavilions: teppanyaki, barbecue, dining, wine, reading, karaoke
- Forest trail, herb garden, orchid garden and meditation lawn
- Sky decks at Level 17 with East Coast sea views (selected towers)
Floor plans — what to look for
When you review the stack-by-stack layouts, apply four lenses. First, usable footprint: how much of the sqft is actually bounded by walls you can furnish? Look for “bay window” allowances and air-conditioner ledges that inflate the strata count. Second, natural ventilation: corner units and dual-aspect layouts tend to command a 2-3% psf premium but outperform on resale liquidity. Third, kitchen layout: an enclosed kitchen with a yard is the Singapore family-buyer standard — open-plan layouts can struggle at resale. Fourth, bedroom privacy: bedrooms clustered around a common corridor are the gold standard; avoid walk-through arrangements.
Progressive payment schedule
For uncompleted Singapore private residential units, payment follows the statutory Normal Progressive Payment Scheme. The timeline below maps each stage to its approximate chronology for Grand Dunman:
Developer track record
SingHaiyi Group (SHG (DM) Pte Ltd) brings demonstrable scale to Grand Dunman. The delivery history across comparable Singapore private residential projects shows consistent compliance with declared TOP timelines and a pattern of workmanship scores that sit comfortably within the BCA CONQUAS band for residential. This matters. On uncompleted units, your capital sits at work with the developer for 3-4 years; the credit-risk premium on a lesser-known developer can exceed any headline-psf discount.
Sustainability
The project is designed to BCA Green Mark standards, with emphasis on passive-design measures: facade U-values, operable sun-control devices, and cross-ventilated common corridors. Inverter split-system air-conditioners and LED lighting throughout the residential envelope help residents manage monthly utility bills. Rainwater harvesting for irrigation and drought-tolerant planting round out the landscape-side measures.
Investment outlook
For an owner-occupier, the question reduces to: “does this unit meet the household brief at a psf that does not embed a launch premium I cannot recoup?” For an investor, the hurdle is tougher — 60% ABSD on a foreign buyer’s second Singapore residential property (20% for Singapore-citizen second-property buyers) materially reduces leveraged returns. The realistic investment thesis for Grand Dunman therefore rests on three legs: (a) rental demand from the surrounding working population within 5-7 MRT stops, (b) durability of the tenure beyond the immediate 5-year MOP horizon, and (c) pricing discipline at entry — staying in the lower third of the psf band.
Completion timeline
Expected TOP: 4Q 2028 · Legal completion: 30 June 2029. Buyers should budget for a defects-liability inspection window of 12 months post-VP, during which the developer is statutorily obliged to remedy defects. Practical tip: engage a defects-inspection specialist before moving in, rather than relying on your own walk-through. The report will typically run 80-140 items on a mid-sized condo.
