The Housing Development Board (HDB) launched 5,032 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats on February 10, 2025. The flats are spread across five projects in Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Yishun, and Woodlands.
Some units in this launch are part of the new Woodlands North Coast precinct, which is within walking distance to Singapore’s northern waterfront and Woodlands Checkpoint.
HDB is also offering 5,590 Sale of Balance (SBF) units islandwide, marking the largest SBF exercise to date. Forty percent of these SBF units are completed and ready for immediate occupancy. The remaining units will be completed between 2025 and 2028.
For the BTO projects, 80% have waiting times of four years or less. The 1,531 flats at Chencharu Vines and Chencharu Green in Yishun have the shortest waiting period at just over three years.
