HDB launches 4,627 flats

Three nonmature towns to take portions of the additional supply.

The 4,627-flat addition will be spread across three nonmature towns (Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, and Sengkang) and one mature town (Kallang/Whampoa), according to HDB, and is part of government efforts to release 25,000 BTO flats for 2012.

Selling prices for the mature town of Bendemeer Light & McNair Towers begin at $124,000 for a studio apartment and rise up to $467,000 for a 4-room flat.

Comparatively, selling prices are lower for flats in the three nonmature towns. A 4-room flat costs $275,000 at Compassvale Boardwalk, $223,000 in Keat Hong Pride and $260,000 in Punggol Edge & Waterway SunDew.

Cheaper 3-room and pricier 5-rooom flats are also available in three nonmature towns.

"To ensure first-timers continue to enjoy priority in flat allocation, at least 95% and 85% of the BTO flat supply (excluding Studio Apartments) in mature towns and non-mature towns respectively will be set aside for them. Eligible first-timer households can also enjoy various housing grants to help them own a new BTO flat," said HDB.

Housing grants, which vary depending on the BTO flat chosen, can snip off up to 25% of the selling price, based on HDB calculations.

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.
