Can I reserve a unit before the official launch?
Yes, some projects, such as The Waterway by Prestige One, allow an early expression of interest (EOI) before the official launch, which secures your place in line without being a final commitment. The exact terms and any pre-launch pricing depend entirely on the developer and the specific release.
Yes, on some projects a developer opens an expression of interest (EOI) period before the official launch, which lets you secure a place in line for a specific unit type ahead of general release. The Waterway by Prestige One is a project where this kind of early step can apply, though the exact terms, including whether early access affects price or unit choice, are set by the developer for that specific release.
What an expression of interest actually secures
An EOI is generally a smaller payment than a full reservation, registering your interest and, on many projects, giving you priority when units are formally released. It is not the same as a final reservation and does not lock in a price the way a signed sale and purchase agreement does; the developer confirms exact terms once the launch structure is set. Our guide on what a reservation fee (EOI) is explains how this step generally works across projects.
Why acting before launch can matter
Pre-launch interest often determines who gets first access to the most sought-after units, floors or views once a project formally releases, since demand can be high in the opening days of a launch. This is a timing advantage, not a guaranteed discount or a fixed price, and your advisor tells you clearly what pre-launch terms actually apply to The Waterway rather than assuming a benefit that has not been confirmed by the developer.
