23 HDB projects set for facelift

HDB will allocate more than $95m for the upgrade of flats.

Twenty-three projects across 11 towns will undergo upgrading works as part of the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) by the Ministry of National Development (MND) and Housing & Development Board (HDB).

The 15th batch of NRP includes projects in Hougang, Choa Chu Kang and Pasir Ris and will benefit more than 15,600 households.

The government will allocate more than $95m for the facelift of the selected precincts.

The per-flat budget is about $4,700, of which $3,400 will go towards block-level and precinct-level works, and $1,300 will be for Repair & Redecoration (R&R) works.

“With town councils facing a continued increase in the cost of materials and manpower, HDB will provide a budget increase for the 15th batch of NRP projects and eligible ongoing projects, increasing the budget to $6,100 per flat for these NRP projects,” HDB said.

With the latest batch of NRP projects, HDB has covered all eligible blocks built up to 1995.

HDB will extend the NRP to blocks built up to 1999, benefitting more than 100,000 additional flats.

HDB will select the next batch of NRP projects by the end of this year.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
