It’s been a decade since HDB has launched a Build-to-order (BTO) project in the Queenstown area, which has some of the most expensive HDB flats in Singapore.
While condos have been springing up in the area in recent years, expectations for new BTO projects in this prime city-fringe location have been low, which is why so many Singaporeans perked up on hearing that HDB is planning more than 5,000 new HDB flats in Queenstown across six development sites, according to a Straits Times report.
The report cited a tender for a traffic impact assessment (TIA) the HDB called on 14 October, which stated that 2,060 homes on two development sites could be launched as early as 2021 and 2022, with another 3,280 units on four sites to be released by 2027.
