More Bidadari flats to be launched after successful November sales exercise

Close to 1,600 units will be launched in February.

The Ministry of National Development (MND) will release more Bidadari flats for sale after the strong interest that these properties garnered during the November BTO sale exercise.

According to a blog post by Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong, some 1,600 Bidadari units will be launched for sale in the February 2016 BTO exercise.

“Flats in Bidadari flats received some of the highest application rates, despite their higher prices. This can be attributed to their central location, presence of two MRT stations and distinctive “Community in the Garden” concept,” he wrote.

He added that during the November sales exercise, about one-quarter of Bidadari applicants applied through the Married Child Priority Scheme to live with or near their parents or married child, in this case staying in Toa Payoh or Potong Pasir towns.

“This is an example of how we provide more opportunities for families to live closer together for mutual care and support,” he said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
