Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Geylang, Kallang & More

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.

Ang Mo Kio Oct 2024 BTO

The last time Ang Mo Kio had a BTO launch was in 2022. The 4-room flats were priced from $535,000 to $676,000.

A brief look at the map shows that the new site is about 13-minute walking distance from the Ang Mo Kio MRT station (NS16).

Bedok Oct 2024 BTO: Bayshore Project 1

One of the highly-anticipated BTO launches is definitely the Bayshore project—because it has a sea view!

These flats are anticipated to feature full-height windows, offering residents waterfront views for units overlooking East Coast Park and city views for those facing Bedok town.

It’s also a stone’s throw away from Bayshore MRT station (TE29) and East Coast Park, and nearby amenities will include eateries, supermarkets, pre-schools, and a residents’ network centre.

Bedok Oct 2024 BTO: Bayshore Project 2

The next Bayshore BTO is right next to the first Bayshore BTO, divided by Bayshore Drive. This project is slightly smaller as compared to the first Bayshore BTO, with only 2-room Flexi and 4-room units available.

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.

For what it’s worth, this project will probably be very popular due to the myriad of amenities available and its proximity to various MRT lines.

Bukit Batok Oct 2024 BTO

This is the first project in Bukit Batok since November 2022, and this time, 690 units will be available.

Available in all sizes from 2-room to 3-Gen flats, it will be suitable for big families to apply.

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.

Geylang Oct 2024 BTO

Just next to Mattar MRT station, the Geylang Oct 2024 BTO will house about 420 Community Care Apartments.

The BTO is also a 15-minute walk from MacPherson MRT station, where you can take the Downtown Line and the Circle Line.

Jurong West Oct 2024 BTO

Jurong West has recently become a popular estate for BTOs, and in October, about 1,840 units will be available for all types of families.

Bordered by Yung Ho Road and Ayer Rajah Expressway, the BTO is away from MRT stations, but there will very likely be buses around for residents to travel about.

Kallang/Whampoa Oct 2024 BTO Project 1

Like Bedok, Kallang/Whampoa has three BTO projects up for balloting this time.

First up in the pipeline, this project is located at May Road, near Towner Road, about 11 minutes from Boon Keng MRT station.

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.

 

Kallang/Whampoa Oct 2024 BTO Project 3

The last Kallang/Whampoa will be situated in between Kallang MRT station (8 mins) and Geylang Bahru MRT station (14 mins).

One thing’s for sure in this neighbourhood—you will never run out of eateries to try!

Pasir Ris Oct 2024 BTO

The October 2024 BTO will feature a project in Pasir Ris—split into two blocks at Pasir Ris Drive 3, next to Pasir Ris town centre and MRT station.

Given the amenities and proximity to Pasir Ris MRT station, this will likely be a Plus project.

Sengkang Oct 2024 BTO Project 1

Sengkang is becoming one of the hot spots for BTOs, and we expect to see more developments over the next few years.

The first Sengkang BTO in October 2024 has about 550 units, and being near LRT stations, as well as a shopping mall is a huge PLUS point for many residents living there.

This BTO is also in a strategic location for couples planning to have kids in the next few years, as there are several MOE Kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools in the area.

Sengkang Oct 2024 BTO Project 2

Sitting along Fernvale Street, this Sengkang BTO is between the Thanggam and Kupang LRT stations.

As compared to the first Sengkang BTO project, this BTO is in a quieter environment.

Woodlands Oct 2024 BTO

The February 2024 BTO launch had a BTO located in Woodlands, and this time around, it’s along Woodlands Centre Road, near Marsiling MRT station.
