HDB launches 6,800 flats in October BTO exercise

Seventy-five per cent of the flats have a waiting time of four years or below.

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) launched 6,800 flats for sale under the October Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise.

The eight BTO projects are located in Choa Chu Kang, Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, and Tengah. Six out of eight projects, or about 75% of the flats, have a waiting time of four years or below.

HDB will offer the other two projects located in Verandah @ Kallang and Tanglin Halt Cascadia under the Prime Location Housing (PLH) model, which requires its owners 6% return upon resale.

HDB will reserve 20% of the PLH flats for first-timer families and 2% for second-timer families under the Married Child Priority Scheme.

Flat prices range from $106,000 to $530,000 in non-mature estates. For mature estates, prices range from $176,000 to $480,000. Prices vary on the number of rooms per unit.

Interested applicants must have a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter. Applications can be made online via HDB Flat Portal from 4 October to 10 October.

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.
