Two BTO launches on Friday

Two more new Build-to-Order projects will be launched tomorrow, making available a total of more than 1,000 flats in Sengkang and Jurong West.

This is in line with the HDB’s earlier-announced plans to roll out some 5,000 new BTO flats between now and the year’s end.

In the next two months, six more BTO projects with 4,000 flats in Punggol, Sembawang, Bukit Panjang and Dawson Estates will be launched.

The large number of new flats offers choice and certainty to first-time buyers, said the HDB, whose records show that 96 per cent of first-timers got the chance to select a BTO flat within two tries.

In all, the board is bringing on stream 9,000 new BTO flats this year.

“HDB will continue to monitor housing demand and ensure that there is sufficient flat supply for first-time flat buyers,” it said in a statement.
