Non-landed private homes to almost double by 2014

22,400 units are expected to be completed.

In a written response by the Ministry of National Development to queries by Mr Gan Thiam Poh, it was revealed that 22,400 units will be completed as compared with the expected 12,500 non-landed homes by end-2012. Click the image on the right to view the full table of completion of housing units.

For public housing, any supply of unsold flats is ad-hoc in nature, comprising balance supply from earlier Build-to-Order (BTO) exercises, surplus replacement flats from the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme and repurchased flats.

They will be accumulated and offered for sale to the public via a Sale of Balance Flats exercise once there are sufficient flats. Currently, all of HDB’s unsold completed stock (1,500 units) is being offered for sale together with other unsold flats at various stages of completion (5,600 units) under the 2012 Sale of Balance Flats exercises.

For private housing, about 39,600 units from projects in the pipeline remain unsold as of 2Q2012.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
