95% of new BTO flats set aside for first-timers

And they’re said to be going at prices around 14% to 35% cheaper than similar resale flats in their areas.

Reacting to this development, PropNex Corporate Communications Manager Mr Adam Tan said, “The Government has certainly responded to the public’s demand for affordable housing, especially for first-time buyers. This is especially so, given that at least 95% of the units, or 3,759 flats, will be set aside for these first-timers.”

The Build-To-Order projects are spread out over Punggol, Pasir Ris, Tampines, and Woodlands estates. Mr Tan explained all the estates are well-developed and should see a huge take-up rate from potential buyers.

Based on previous BTO launches, he expects the overall oversubscription rate to be around four times, with demand still high from first-timers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
