SkyPark Residences in Sembawang is likely to be one of Singapore's most popular executive condominium (EC) projects this year.

The 506-unit project ended its application period on Sunday with 1,604 applications - more than thrice the number of units available, developer JBE Holdings said in a statement on Monday.

Applicants mostly consisted of Housing Board flat upgraders living in the northern part of Singapore, young married couples and multi-generational families.

SkyPark Residences is the first EC in Sembawang and is the seventh EC project launched this year.

It will open for bookings on Nov 16.
