What vacant possession means at The Arcady at Boon Keng
Vacant possession, often shortened to VP, is the point at which the developer hands the completed home to the buyer, empty and ready to be fitted out and occupied. The developer issues a notice of vacant possession, and from then the buyer can collect the keys, inspect the unit and plan the move.
For The Arcady, the expected VP date is 31 December 2028. That is the developer's expectation rather than a promise of a particular day, and the date that binds both parties is the one set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Buyers planning a move, a school year or the end of a tenancy usually work around this date with some margin.
At handover, buyers typically inspect the finishes and fittings against the specification. At The Arcady these include porcelain tiles in the living and dining areas, parquet in the bedrooms, Electrolux kitchen appliances, Toto sanitary ware and a digital lockset on the main door, along with the smart home gateway and app-controlled air-conditioning and lighting.
TOP and CSC in The Arcady at Boon Keng's progressive payment schedule
Two certificates mark the final stages of construction. TOP, the Temporary Occupation Permit, allows a completed building to be occupied. CSC, the Certificate of Statutory Completion, confirms that the building has met all statutory requirements. In the standard progressive payment schedule for a building under construction, each stage triggers an instalment:

TOP and CSC together account for 40% of the purchase price, so these two milestones matter for cash flow and loan drawdown. The payment scheme for The Arcady at Boon Keng explains the schedule, and the progressive payment calculator models each instalment. Which construction stages have been reached at any time is confirmed by the Sales Concierge at booking.
How legal completion works for The Arcady at Boon Keng
Legal completion is the point at which the purchase is formally completed and the final balance under the agreement falls due. It is distinct from vacant possession: a buyer can live in the home after VP while the legal steps are still being finalised.
For The Arcady, the expected date is 31 December 2031, or 3 years after the notice of vacant possession, whichever is earlier. If VP is delivered on its expected date, the three-year measure and the fixed date coincide; if VP comes sooner, legal completion moves earlier with it. The conveyancing solicitor for the project is Wee Swee Teow LLP, and buyers normally appoint their own lawyer to act for them.
Timing also interacts with Seller's Stamp Duty, which is measured from the date of purchase rather than from handover. As at October 2026, for residential property bought on or after 4 July 2025, SSD applies at 16%, 12%, 8% or 4% on a sale within 1, 2, 3 or 4 years, and none applies after 4 years. Buyers with plans that might change during construction usually check these dates with their lawyer.
Planning a purchase around The Arcady at Boon Keng's timeline
A household moving in after vacant possession arrives in a neighbourhood that is already complete. Boon Keng MRT is about 6 minutes' walk, Bendemeer Market and Food Centre about 6 minutes, and the Kallang Park Connector about 8 minutes, on the developer's estimates. Inside the gates, 47 facilities over 4 landscaped levels complete the picture, from the Infinity Pool on the Landscape Deck to the Star Gazing Lawn on the Roof Terrace.
Because payments follow construction, the timeline shapes how a buyer plans financing, since instalments fall due stage by stage over several years. The housing loan information page explains the MAS rules as at October 2026, and the stamp duty guide covers the duties payable on signing.
