We are well into the second half 2024, so we have one last Build-to-Order (BTO) launch left!
For the uninitiated, this is the first BTO exercise implementing the new Prime, Plus, and Standard categories, replacing HDB’s longstanding classifications of mature and non-mature estates.
As the biggest launch this year, the Housing Development Board (HDB) offers over 8,500 flats during this cycle.
So, if you want to apply for a flat, check out our preview below!
TL;DR: October 2024 BTO Preview
This time, there are over 8,500 units and 14 projects in 9 locations!

There are many firsts for this launch—Plus flats—the newly introduced category at last year’s National Day Rally, will be near MRT stations or town centres. These flats have a 10-year minimum occupation period, and owners must return a portion of the resale price to HDB, reflecting the additional subsidies they received.
We’ve written about how this new HDB classification may affect you, check that out!
Also, this is the first time HDB is launching the new White Flat layout—specifically in Kallang/Whampoa.
NOTE: If you plan to apply, you MUST get your HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) Letter early and submit all required documents by 15 September 2024.

Amenities wise, it will be similar to those available for Bayshore Project 1.
Bedok Oct 2024 BTO: Kembangan
The last Bedok BTO is right at Kembangan MRT station!
This was announced in the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Master Plan 2019, which mentioned the designation of a plot for a residential project.
Given its close proximity to nearby facilities and public transport, this will likely be classified as a Plus project.

This project, however, may require you to walk quite a bit given that the nearest MRT station, i.e., Tengah Park, is 15 minutes away if you choose to walk.
That being said, although there are no announcements yet, buses may be available by then as this area will be well-developed to serve the Tengah Community.

Kallang/Whampoa Oct 2024 BTO Project 2
If you haven’t noticed, new BTOs in Kallang/Whampoa tend to be smaller, around 300 – 400 units, typically consisting of 2-room to 4-room flat types.
This second Kallang/Whampoa BTO project, which will house about 310 units, is near Nicoll Highway and will largely face the Marina Reservoir or Rochor Canal (nice views!).
There are also many amenities such as North Bridge Road Market & Food Centre nearby, with Lavender MRT station within close proximity (5 minutes walk)—which means that you may face fierce competition when balloting.
Plus, this is also the ONLY project piloted for the new open-concept living and bedroom space—white flats—with no partitions and beams. This is just an option; you can choose not to opt-in and still receive the standard layouts with walls. That said, the non-provision of internal partition walls will be factored into the pricing of the white flats.
