HDB launched six Build-To-Order (BTO) projects today, offering 3,139 new flats in four non-mature towns (Bukit Batok, Jurong West, Punggol and Woodlands) and one mature town (Serangoon).

This is the first tranche of the 24,300 BTO flats that HDB has planned for 2014. For the rest of the year, there will be a good mix of BTO flat types across various towns, i.e. Bukit Batok, Hougang, Jurong West, Kallang Whampoa, Punggol, Sembawang, Sengkang, Tampines, Toa Payoh, Woodlands and Yishun.

Starting with this launch, HDB will also introduce a standard suite of eco-features in all new public housing developments, which will help to manage water, energy and waste more efficiently.

These include eco-pedestals in bathrooms which recycle water for toilet flushing, LED lighting with motion sensor controls and regenerative lifts that help to lower energy consumption, as well as Centralised Chutes for Recyclables (CCR) to promote recycling.

More covered bicycle parking lots and bicycle wheel ramps will also be added to new projects to encourage residents to adopt a more environmentally-friendly mode of transport.

This is part of HDB’s continuing effort to build environmentally sustainable homes for residents.

Jan 2014 BTO Launch

The 3,139 new flats launched comprise Studio Apartments (SAs), 2-room to 5-room flats, as well as 3Gen flats, to meet the diverse housing needs of first-timers, second-timers, multi-generation families, elderly and singles.

Eligible first-timer singles have the option of applying for a 2-room flat in Punggol Vue or Woodlands Glen.

Married/courting couples who wish to apply for a 3Gen flat together with their parent(s) can apply for one in Punggol BayView.
