Take a deep dive into the August 2021 Kallang/Whampoa BTO project, which will consist of 300 units of 3-room and 4-room flats.

Launched in January 2021, Normanton Park sold about 600 condo units on its launch day alone. And of the buyers, a larger-than-normal proportion were property agents buying investment properties for themselves. Why was that so?

The August 2021 Hougang BTO launch features two projects and will see 1,320 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room, and 5-room flats up for grabs.

HDB will roll out new features on the HDB Flat Portal to improve the buying process, including a new document that consolidates the results on buyers’ eligibility assessment for a new or resale flat purchase, HDB loans and housing grants.

Starting from Q4 2021, new developments submitted for planning approval will be required to be 50% more energy efficient than the 2005 levels, up from the 30% current requirement.

The new housing model will be piloted by HDB later this year to allow singles to apply for public rental flat without having to find a flatmate first.

Midtown Modern, a luxury residential project at mega integrated development Guoco Midtown on Beach Road and Tan Quee Lan Street, is set for launch on 20 March.

Around half of the 1,700 flats surrendered were two-room flats, one-sixth were three-room flats, and one-third were four-room or larger flats.

Minister of State for National Development Tan Kiat How said a total of 1,521 flats sold under HDB’s open booking scheme.

When Kevin Lim decided to finally buy a new home to call his own, he took the chance to design and personalise the 5-room HDB flat exactly the way he wanted it.
