7,964 BTO flats launched as higher income ceilings take effect
Seven projects are on sale across Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun.
On November 4, Singapore's Housing Board launched 7,964 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats for sale across seven projects in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh, and Yishun. The flats, which come with higher income ceilings of $16,000 for families and $8,000 for singles, are part of the last sales exercise of 2026. The only Prime project, Toa Payoh Hillside, has an 11% subsidy clawback, while the three Plus projects in Bedok, Geylang, and Geylang have 8% and 9% subsidy clawback rates, respectively.
Prime and Plus flats, situated closer to city centers and transport nodes, have stricter resale conditions like a 10-year minimum occupation period and subsidy clawback upon resale. The launch includes three Standard classification projects in Yishun, Tengah, and Sembawang, which do not have subsidy recovery clauses when sold and have a five-year minimum occupation period.
The Toa Payoh Hillside project, with 1,176 two-room flexi and four-room flats, will have a wait time of three years and nine months. Community care apartments, the first of their kind in Toa Payoh, will be offered to those aged 55 or older, down from 65 years old. Prices for BTO flats range from $54,000 to $614,000 without grants.
