AS property seekers continue to home in on flats in mature estates, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) has rolled out more Build-To-Order (BTO) projects in these prime locations.
It said on Sunday that 13 such projects were offered last year, compared to nine in 2017 - an almost 50 per cent rise. Projects in mature estates formed 44 per cent of the overall BTO launches in 2017, but the proportion climbed to 55 per cent last year, said HDB.
