Time to own the first BTO flats of 2012

3,923 new apartments now up for grabs with priority for first-timer households.

This is the initial wave of an estimated 25,000 BTO units to be offered by the Housing and Development Board over the year.

Selling prices start from as low as $77,000 for a studio apartment in Sunshine Gardens up to $340,000 for a 5-room unit in Waterway Sunbeam. Locations include Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, Sengkang and Tampines.

"At least 95% of the flat supply (excluding Studio Apartments) will be set aside for first-timer households. Eligible first-timer households can also enjoy various housing grants to help them own a new BTO flat," said HDB in a release.

Applications for the new flats end January 17.

The second set of 4,110 flats will be offered by HDB in March 2012. These will be located in Bedok, Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang, Bukit Timah, Clementi, Geylang and Toa Payoh.

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.
