Meanwhile, Plantation Verge, located within Plantation District, will have a waiting time of over three-and-a-half years. It will span seven residential blocks each ranging from 14 to 18 storeys.
Both Tengah projects will offer a range of 2-room Flexi to 5-room flats, said HDB, adding that the latter would make up about one-third of units.
“Including these two projects, more than 21,000 flats across 20 BTO projects would have been offered in Tengah since the launch of the first BTO project – Plantation Grove in November 2018,” said HDB.
“This makes up 70 per cent of the approximately 30,000 HDB flats planned for Tengah town.”
HDB noted that more than 70 per cent of Tengah projects currently under construction have a waiting time of four years or less, including about 6,200 flats, with shortened waiting times of less than three years at launch.
The new flats being rolled out in Tengah are part of broader efforts to ramp up building to meet the housing needs of Singaporeans, said HDB.
It is on track to offer up to 23,000 new flats in 2023 – and prepared to launch 100,000 new flats in total from 2021 to 2025.
The board said it was “committed to ensuring that public housing remains affordable and accessible, enabling Singaporeans to achieve their dream of owning their first home”.
