About 10,000 flats set to rise in new housing area in Yishun

Eighty per cent of the units will be for public housing.

The new housing area in Chencharu, Yishun, will bring about 10,000 homes, the Housing Development Board (HDB) said. Eighty per cent of the units will be for public housing.

HDB said the flats in Yishun will cater to families seeking proximity for mutual care and support.

The first BTO project, offering 1,200 units ranging from two-room flexi to five-room flats, will launch in June 2024, with subsequent projects to follow.

For 2024, HDB plans to launch 19,600 build-to-order (BTO) flats.

Meanwhile, HDB is also exploring the development of Gillman Barracks in Bukit Merah as a potential residential neighbourhood.

The site, currently occupied by various uses, is being studied for a mix of public and private housing options, with environmental and heritage studies scheduled from 2Q24 to 1H26.

Stakeholder engagement, including existing tenants at Gillman Barracks, will be a priority, with existing tenants allowed to stay on-site until the end of their tenancies.

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.
