Government to release four residential sites

Government to release four residential sites estimated to yield 1,800 housing units in April 2013.

To provide developers and home-buyers with more choices in private housing, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) will be releasing four residential sites for sale in April 2013 under the Government Land Sales Programme for 1st half 2013. These four sites can collectively yield about 1,800 residential units.

One Executive Condominium site at Anchorvale Crescent and two residential sites at Fernvale Close and Faber Walk are launched for sale today under the Confirmed List. The fourth site, an Executive Condominium site at Punggol Central, will be launched on 29 April 2013 under the Confirmed List.

The tender for the Punggol Central site will close on the same day as two other Executive Condominium sites at Punggol Drive and Yuan Ching Road – 30 July 2013. The latter two sites will be launched for sale in June 2013. The move to close the tenders on the same day is being initiated in response to feedback from the public and real estate industry that this could help moderate tender bids and, in turn, future property prices. The sites were chosen on the basis that all three are meant for Executive Condominium developments and slated for launch during the second quarter of this year.

Land Parcel at Anchorvale Crescent
The site is located in close proximity to Farmway LRT station and Tampines Expressway (TPE). It is also near Sungei Punggol, Sengkang Riverside Park, Sengkang Floating Wetland and Sengkang Sports & Recreation Centre.

HDB launches 4191 new flats across 7 BTO projects

As part of its plan to deliver 25,000 Build-to-Order (BTO) flats this year, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) has launched 4,191 new flats across seven housing estates.

The units will be spread across two non-mature towns – Choa Chu Kang and Punggol as well as the three mature estates of Bukit Merah, Geylang and Clementi.

Ranging from two- to five-bedroom units and studio apartments, the new batch of BTO projects are Keat Hong Axis, Punggol Opal, Waterway Cascadia, Clementi Gateway, Depot Heights, Telok Blangah Ridgeview, and GreenTops @ Sims Place.

Excluding studio apartments, at least 85 and 95 percent of the BTO supply in non-mature and mature towns respectively will be set aside for eligible first-time buyers who may use housing grants to improve their chances of owning a new flat.

Applications for the new BTOs will end on Monday, 6 August.

Meanwhile, HDB is expected to launch another 3,700 units in September which will be located in Ang Mo Kio, Choa Chu Kang, Kallang Whampoa, Tampines and Woodlands.

At the same time, 3,000 flats will be offered under the Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise.
