HDB Flats Reaching MOP in 2026 and 2027: Every Project, Dakota Breeze's Date, and What Just-MOP Flats Sell For

HDB counts the minimum occupation period (MOP) from "the day your flat purchase is legally completed", which for a new flat is when the owners collect their keys. A block's completion year is therefore a good guide to when most of its owners become free to sell. On PropKaki's count of HDB's block record:

• From about 2026: 22 projects with blocks completed in 2021, 13,484 flats sold to owners.
• From about 2027: 28 projects with blocks completed in 2022, 18,939 flats, including Dakota Breeze.
• From about 2028: 21,393 flats in blocks completed in 2023.

The full project lists are below. To see every block reaching its MOP this year, use PropKaki's MOP and SSD tracker; how the MOP rule works, and what owners can do before and after it, is in our HDB MOP guide.

The block's completion year tells you the season; each owner's key date tells you the day.

On PropKaki's copy of HDB's block record, Dakota Breeze is 5 residential blocks (90A, 90B, 91A, 91B, 92A Jln Satu) with 954 flats sold to owners, completed in 2022. They include 2-room flats, some of which may be on short leases that can never be resold.

• When: a flat bought from HDB has a five-year MOP (ten for Plus and Prime flats) counted from the legal completion of the purchase. Owners who collected their keys in 2022 reach it on the same date in 2027; anyone who collected later, or spent time not living there (for example, renting the whole flat out with HDB's approval), later.
• Resales so far: 0 in HDB's resale records, as expected before the MOP.
• Your exact date: owners can see it on MyHDB Page, under My Flat > Purchased Flat > Flat Details and Minimum Occupation Period (MOP).

Dakota Breeze is in the 2027 list below with the other projects completed in 2022.

PropKaki count of HDB's block record (September 2026), by project name. Only blocks completed in 2021 are counted; where a project also has blocks from other years (last column), those reach their MOP in those years. All-rental blocks are left out. "Flats sold" counts flats sold to owners, including 2-room flats, some of which are on short leases and can never be resold. SkyResidence @ Dawson and SkyOasis @ Dawson are replacement sites for HDB's Tanglin Halt Road and Commonwealth Drive SERS; households who moved there under SERS follow the SERS rule below, not the plain 5 years.

PropKaki count of HDB's block record (September 2026), by project name. Only blocks completed in 2022 are counted; where a project also has blocks from 2021 or 2023 (last column), those reach their MOP a year earlier or later.

What the first owners of the 2021 projects got when they sold, on PropKaki's analysis of HDB's resale records:

PropKaki analysis of HDB resale records joined to the block record, blocks completed in 2021, January to August 2026. Projects with fewer than 3 resales left out; flat-type medians shown only with at least 3 sales. A project's overall median mixes flat types. SkyResidence @ Dawson and SkyOasis @ Dawson are replacement sites for HDB's Tanglin Halt Road and Commonwealth Drive SERS; households who moved there under SERS follow the SERS rule below, not the plain 5 years.

What it shows:

• Location sets the level. Same-size 4-room flats (project medians of 93 to 94 sqm) sold at medians of $1 million or more at Alkaff Oasis in Toa Payoh and Bedok South Horizon, but $721,500 to $815,000 in the Punggol, Tampines and Hougang projects.
• The first wave is small. 296 resales in eight months is 2.2% of the 13,484 flats, and only 12 of the 22 projects had any. Some owners have not reached their own date yet, and earlier cohorts came to market gradually: of the flats in blocks completed in 2019, 479 (4.0%) resold in 2024 and 1,433 (12.0%) in 2025.

If you are thinking of buying a just-MOP flat, compare it with its own project's first sales rather than the town average, and remember that buying resale starts your own MOP: five years from your completion, or ten for a Plus or Prime flat. Our guide to buying a resale flat covers the steps.

HDB counts the MOP from "the day your flat purchase is legally completed", and it "excludes any period when you do not physically reside in the flat", such as when the whole flat is rented out with HDB's approval (Eligibility for Selling a Flat, updated 18 August 2026). Owners check their own position on MyHDB Page, under My Flat > Purchased Flat > Flat Details and Minimum Occupation Period (MOP). The rules in full, and what owners can do before and after, are in our HDB MOP guide.

One exception matters for the 2026 list. A household that moved to a replacement flat at the designated site of a SERS announced before 7 April 2022 can sell after "7 years from the date of selection of the replacement flat" or "5 years from the date of collecting the keys", whichever is earlier. SkyResidence and SkyOasis @ Dawson are replacement sites for the Tanglin Halt Road and Commonwealth Drive SERS, and their blocks were completed in 2021, so that SERS was announced well before the cut-off; neighbours who bought there in an ordinary sale have the usual 5 years.

Three things separate a block's completion year from an owner's MOP date:

• Key collection is spread out. Owners of the same block complete their purchases on different days.
• Later buyers start later. Flats HDB sells later in a project, for example in a Sale of Balance Flats exercise, start their own clock.
• The clock pauses. Time the owners do not live in the flat, such as while it is rented out whole with HDB's approval, does not count.

That is why this page says "from about" a year, and why the lease start date shown in HDB's resale records is not a reliable MOP date either.

• Intent to Sell first. HDB: "To check your eligibility to sell your flat, register an Intent to Sell in My Flat Dashboard." A buyer can take an option only once the seller "registered an Intent to Sell for more than 7 days".
• Then HDB's timetable. After the option and the resale application, completion is about 8 weeks after HDB accepts the application, which HDB calls "the earliest possible date".
• Buying the next home. Owners can apply for a new HDB Flat Eligibility letter only after meeting the MOP; to sell and buy at the same completion, see our guide to the HDB contra facility.

Whether to sell at MOP or wait is a separate question, covered in should you sell after MOP.

HDB's classification (as of 2026): Plus and Prime flats carry a 10-year MOP; "Owners of Plus and Prime flats are not allowed to rent out the whole flat"; and Prime flats "include Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) flats sold before the October 2024 sales exercise". HDB states that the new classification "will not apply to existing HDB flats and flats launched before the October 2024 sales exercise", other than the earlier PLH flats counted as Prime.

The blocks completed in 2021 and 2022 were launched years before October 2024, so their flats are unclassified and have a 5-year MOP, unless a project was sold as PLH, and except for SERS households at the Dawson replacement sites (see the MOP section above). Owners can confirm on MyHDB Page.

PropKaki count of HDB's block record (September 2026), sold flats and rental flats by the year their blocks were completed; the block count includes all-rental blocks (108 of the 2021 blocks have flats sold to owners, the blocks our MOP tracker lists). Our MOP guide breaks the 2026 cohort down by planning area.

The rising numbers matter for anyone buying or selling: more flats become sellable each year from 2026 to 2028, and in a just-MOP project the neighbours become eligible to sell within the same few months.

Official rules. The MOP rules, how to check them and the Intent to Sell step are from HDB's Eligibility for Selling a Flat page (updated 18 August 2026) and its conditions-after-buying pages (including the whole-flat rental rule for Plus and Prime flats); the Plus and Prime classification from HDB's Standard, Plus and Prime page; the Dawson replacement sites from HDB's SERS page; the option and completion timings from HDB's resale overview. All read between 18 and 26 September 2026.

Proprietary figures. Projects, blocks and flats by completion year are PropKaki's count of HDB's property information dataset (block record, September 2026); the 2021 and 2022 totals match our MOP guide. First-MOP-year prices, and how fast the 2019 cohort resold, are PropKaki's analysis of HDB resale records (January to August 2026, and 2024 to 2025) joined to that block record. How we work: PropKaki methodology.

What we have not claimed: any owner's exact MOP date, which only MyHDB Page shows; what any flat is worth now; or that owners will sell once they can. This is a practical explainer, not legal or financial advice.
