HDB launches 4,627 flats

Three nonmature towns to take portions of the additional supply.

The 4,627-flat addition will be spread across three nonmature towns (Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, and Sengkang) and one mature town (Kallang/Whampoa), according to HDB, and is part of government efforts to release 25,000 BTO flats for 2012.

Selling prices for the mature town of Bendemeer Light & McNair Towers begin at $124,000 for a studio apartment and rise up to $467,000 for a 4-room flat.

Comparatively, selling prices are lower for flats in the three nonmature towns. A 4-room flat costs $275,000 at Compassvale Boardwalk, $223,000 in Keat Hong Pride and $260,000 in Punggol Edge & Waterway SunDew.

Cheaper 3-room and pricier 5-rooom flats are also available in three nonmature towns.

"To ensure first-timers continue to enjoy priority in flat allocation, at least 95% and 85% of the BTO flat supply (excluding Studio Apartments) in mature towns and non-mature towns respectively will be set aside for them. Eligible first-timer households can also enjoy various housing grants to help them own a new BTO flat," said HDB.

Housing grants, which vary depending on the BTO flat chosen, can snip off up to 25% of the selling price, based on HDB calculations.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
