February 2023 BTO exercise sees 4,428 flats launched for sale
Among the remaining 3 BTO sites, one more is in Kallang, Whampoa, around Jalan Rajah. It has 510 3- and four-room flats in 2 40-storey blocks. Rates begin with $326,000 for a three-room flat and from $459,000 for a four-room flat.
Relating to the non-PLH properties, OrangeTee & Tie’s Sun projects the Jalan Rajah site– though not alongside an MRT terminal– to still bring in strong demand given its location near Toa Payoh Central, which has sufficient amenities.
Consultants expect Farrer Park Fields to find healthy demand given its proximity to community and 2 MRT stations– Farrer Park together with Little India, the last of which is an interchange for the Downtown and North-East Lines. “We can prepare for strong competitiveness for Farrer Park Fields, especially considering that BTO projects in the Kallang and Whampoa vicinity have a tendency to be very disputed when near an MRT station,” says Mohan Sandrasegeran, One Global Group’s senior analyst for research and content development.
The last location remains in the Brickland district of Tengah estate, bounded by Brickland Road and Tengah Blvd. With 1,641 units throughout 12 housing blocks, it is the biggest site under the February 2023 BTO exercise including the just one with five-room flats. Some other unit kinds are two-room flexi, 3- and four-room apartments. Rates start from $97,000 for a two-room flexi flat, from $190,000 for a three-room flat, $291,000 for a four-room flat including $401,000 for a five-room flat.
Lee Sze Teck, Huttons Asia’s chief analysis director, adds that surrounding amenities, consisting of Farrer Park Primary School, the forthcoming shopping mall Piccadilly Galleria, Tekka Market and also City Square Mall, further improve the appeal of the property. Lee adds that the other PLH project in Queenstown, Ulu Pandan Glades, is close to another PLH project, Dover Forest, introduced last November. “The rates for flats in Ulu Pandan Glades resemble the earlier release.”
The location in Tengah may garner attraction following the news of ACS Primary’s transfer to Tengah in 2030. “This might result in more applicants vying for this batch of apartments, although we do not anticipate a huge spike in numbers,” states Sun.

HDB has recently introduced 4,428 condos available for sale under the February 2023 Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise. The condos are dispersed across 5 sites over four communities– Queenstown, Kallang and also Whampoa, Jurong West as well as Tengah.

On the other hand, the Jurong West location is expected to take advantage of its venue near Pioneer MRT Terminal. Nonetheless, with just 271 apartments, getting a flat with the balloting process may be tough, claims One Global Group’s Sandrasegeran.
