    POTENTIAL new Housing & Development Board (HDB) flat buyers can look forward to the Build-To-Order (BTO) project at Pearl’s Hill in Outram, which will become Singapore’s tallest public housing project, with an over-60-storey block.

    Located adjacent to Outram Park MRT station, the Pearl’s Hill project will have about 1,700 two-room flexi, three and four-room units, and over 140 public rental flats. It will be the first public housing project to be launched in the area in over four decades.

    Imagine living near the Central Business District and enjoying spectacular views from a high-floor Pearl’s Hill HDB flat.
