[SINGAPORE] An upcoming Build-To-Order (BTO) project in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2, on the site formerly occupied by Kebun Baru Primary School, has begun construction.

HDB asked to ‘go beyond’ current target of 55,000 flats from 2025 to 2027 to meet demand

Some seniors will prefer to stay in their existing private or HDB home for the rest of their lives, while others may seek to monetise their existing home and move to a more affordably priced one to free up funds for retirement needs.
THE LEVEL GROUND

Expand HDB choices for seniors: Offer new dual-key homes and short-lease 3-room flats

Let seniors who own a private home buy an HDB resale flat without selling the private unit 

Securing a choice unit in an HDB Prime BTO project can pay off.
THE LEVEL GROUND

Despite 14% subsidy clawback, a S$788,000 Berlayar BTO flat is a solid buy

The desirable estate will be a good ‘forever home’, and also has potential to generate robust capital gains and rental income
