https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...g-nearly-8000-flats-to-be-launched-in-october
A total of 7,970 flats in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun will be offered in the October sales exercise.
SINGAPORE – Two Build-To-Order (BTO) projects in the upcoming Bayshore housing estate near East Coast Park will offer a combined 2,500 flats in the next sales exercise in October.
Another project in Tengah, and more developments in the new housing estates of Sembawang North and Chencharu in Yishun, will also go on sale.
These are among seven projects that will be on offer.
On June 17, the Housing Board published details of 7,970 flats in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun that will be launched in October.
In Bedok town, a large supply of two-room flexi flats for seniors and singles will be available across the two BTO projects in Bayshore.
Nearly half of the planned 2,500 units – or 1,240 flats – will fall into this category. The remainder are 1,170 four-room flats and 90 three-room units.
Both projects are located along Bayshore Drive and near Bayshore MRT station.
The larger, 1,640-unit project will have two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats. The site will also house amenities such as an eating house, shops, pre-schools, an active ageing centre and a kidney dialysis centre.
The other project comprises 860 units of two-room flexi and four-room flats alongside a minimart, shops and a pre-school.
Property analysts said the projects would likely fall under the Plus category, similar to previous projects in the estate, and are expected to be highly sought after.
Plus and Prime flats, which are closer to the city centre, transport nodes and amenities, come with stricter resale conditions, such as a 10-year minimum occupation period and a subsidy clawback, unlike Standard flats.
Christine Sun, chief researcher and strategist at property firm Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Group, said she expects strong demand from singles for the two Bayshore projects.
“Many singles will like to live here, due to the convenience of living beside an MRT station that will allow residents to reach the Central Business District and Orchard Road area within a short time,” she added.
The first two BTO projects in Bayshore were launched in October 2024. Three-room and larger flats in Bedok in that sales exercise, which included another project in Kembangan, were oversubscribed, with more than four applicants vying for each unit.
The site, which is in the Plantation district, will also have amenities such as an eatery, a minimart, shops and a pre-school.
It is within a five- to 10-minute walk of two upcoming MRT stations on the Jurong Region Line. The line is scheduled to open in stages between 2028 and 2029.
The last time a BTO project was launched in Tengah was in October 2023.
As at December 2025, more than 14,000 flats across 14 projects in Tengah had been completed. Two neighbourhood centres – Plantation Plaza and Parc Point – have also been providing residents with amenities such as supermarkets and foodcourts.
Wong Siew Ying, head of research and content at property agency PropNex Realty, said there could be pent-up demand for the Tengah project as it has been three years since the last launch.
She noted that the development will be near Pioneer Primary School and the future Tengah Garden Galleria mall, which is part of a mixed-use project next to the upcoming Hong Kah MRT station.
“Prospective buyers today can perhaps also better appreciate Tengah’s evolution as more residents moved in and amenities progressively took shape in recent years,” Wong added.
However, Sun said the site may not be as popular as there has been a large supply of flats launched for sale in the area since 2018.
The development will include 590 two-room flexi flats and 580 four-room flats, as well as public rental units.
About 260 assisted living flats – the first such flats in Toa Payoh – will also be on offer. Also known as community care apartments, these flats come with senior-friendly fittings, such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and other health and community services to help seniors live independently.

The new project will have amenities such as a foodcourt, fast-food restaurant, supermarket, pre-school and active ageing centre.
National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat had said, when he announced this project during the Budget debate in March, that this project was part of a greater effort to build more flats faster by injecting housing into older towns.
Next to the BTO project, there are plans for a mixed-use development with private residential units and a shopping centre similar in scale to Woodleigh Mall in Bidadari, he said then.
In Chencharu, a project bounded by Yishun Walk and Yishun Avenue 2 will have 1,580 two-room flexi, three-, four- and five-room flats.
It is located opposite HomeTeamNS Khatib, and is about a five-minute walk from Khatib MRT station.
Another 1,310 flats will be built along Admiralty Lane and Sembawang Drive in the new Sembawang North estate.
The project, which is across the road from Northoaks Primary School, will also have an eatery, a supermarket, shops and a pre-school. The nearest MRT station is Sembawang, a 15- to 20-minute walk away.
Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at real estate agency Huttons Asia, said that while the project is not near the MRT station, residents will benefit from the future transformation of the nearby Sembawang Shipyard into a mixed-use waterfront district. Works for the district will begin in 2028 after the shipyard is relocated.
A 440-unit project near Mattar MRT station in Geylang could be classified as Plus, analysts said.
Sun said there could be healthy demand for the BTO project as it is close to amenities like Circuit Road Hawker Centre and MacPherson Community Club, as well as the future holding site for Maris Stella High School.

Tengah project
Over in Tengah, the 710-unit project along Tengah Garden Avenue will have flats ranging from two-room flexi to three-generation flats. These are expected to be Standard flats.The site, which is in the Plantation district, will also have amenities such as an eatery, a minimart, shops and a pre-school.

Toa Payoh project likely to be Prime
Analysts agree that the Toa Payoh project, which will house 1,430 units next to Caldecott MRT station, will likely be the only Prime project in October.The development will include 590 two-room flexi flats and 580 four-room flats, as well as public rental units.
About 260 assisted living flats – the first such flats in Toa Payoh – will also be on offer. Also known as community care apartments, these flats come with senior-friendly fittings, such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and other health and community services to help seniors live independently.

More projects are also set to be launched in the new housing estates of Chencharu in Yishun and Sembawang North, and they are likely to fall under the Standard category.In Chencharu, a project bounded by Yishun Walk and Yishun Avenue 2 will have 1,580 two-room flexi, three-, four- and five-room flats.

I hope by the time I can qualify for BTO, there will still be empty land in Yishun for new projects.
For this Chencharu project, roughly 10 minute walk to Khatib blocks 84X there got many neighbourhood shops, if not can take bus go block 10X there, got several bus services to choose from. Then there will be a new bus interchange nearby.

Only aiming for marina bay BTO
Still 3R since it is the easiest to get at every BTO launch I think?
Don't want to jeopardize my chance by going for a 4R
Anyway need a 2nd loan for a 4R since it would be likely $900k
