Gov’t to offer ‘white flats’ at Mount Pleasant BTO project

This will be the second BTO project to offer this option.

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) will offer ‘white flat’ layouts at the first build-to-order flats (BTO) project at Mount Pleasant.

A ‘white flat’ concept is an open-concept housing design by the HDB that features a beamless, wall-less layout in the living room and bedroom area.

This will be the second BTO project to offer the White Flat layout.

The White Flat layout was first piloted at the Crawford Heights BTO project in October 2024, with about four in 10 flat buyers opting for the layout.

The Mount Pleasant BTO project is part of the announced 25,000 new flats that HDB will launch this year, as announced by the Minister for National Development Minister Desmond Lee.

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.
