MND and HDB allocate $165m to fund upgrading projects for 36,000 households

The ministry has selected 17 projects for upgrading.

The Ministry of National Development (MND) and the Housing & Development Board have allocated $165m to fund upgrading works implemented under the latest batch of the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) and Silver Upgrading Programme (SUP), benefiting over 36,000 HDB households.

The MND and HDB have selected 17 projects for upgrading in the latest 16th batch of the NRP. The projects are located island-wide, including in Bukit Panjang, Sembawang, and Sengkang.

The improvement items for each project are tailored based on residents’ feedback on the features they hope to see in their neighbourhoods. Examples of block-level improvements under the NRP include the provision of Residents’ Corners and seating areas in the common spaces within the block.

Precinct-level improvements could include drop-off porches, covered linkways, fitness corners, playgrounds, and landscaping. The works are fully funded by the Government and implemented by the respective Town Councils that will engage their own design consultants and building contractors, as well as monitor the progress of the projects.

As of 31 March 2025, 131 projects benefitting about 187,000 households have been completed, whilst the remaining 98 projects benefitting over 103,000 households are at different stages of implementation.

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.
