HDB launches new BTO flats in Sengkang, Bukit Panjang
By SEAN TAN
THE Housing and Development Board (HDB) yesterday launched three new build-to-order (BTO) pro-jects offering a total of 1,593 flats.
Two of the projects - Fernvale Flora and Fernvale Gardens - will be in Sengkang, while Segar Vale is in Bukit Panjang.
Fernvale Flora, bounded by Fernvale Road and Sengkang West Way, will have 521 standard flats. These consist of 93 two-room units, 107 three-roomers, and 321 four-roomers.
Fernvale Garden, along Fernvale Link, will have 382 standard flats, including 210 four-roomers and 172 five-roomers.
A five-room flat in this estate will sell for $310,000 to $378,000. According to the HDB, the price of a comparable five-room resale flat in the vicinity is $432,000 to $515,000.
A four-room flat will sell for $240,000 to $311,000, compared to $373,000 to $446,000 for resale flats in the vicinity.
Segar Vale, bounded by Bukit Panjang Ring Road and Segar Road, will have 690 standard flats. It will offer 690 flats comprising 112 two-roomers, 112 three- roomers, 269 four-roomers and 197 five-roomers.
A five-room flat here will cost $298,000 to $354,000, slightly less than the Sengkang projects. HDB notes that a comparable five-room resale flat in the vicinity would go for $389,000 to $425,000.
While all three projects are situated near the Light Rail Transit stations (LRT) and various shopping malls, PropNex, Singapore's leading real estate company, noted that 'buyers might not be attracted to Bukit Panjang as it is rather inaccessible compared to Fernvale Flora and Fernvale Garden'.
Applications for the new flats can be submitted online from Feb 28 to March 14.
HDB plans to offer 22,000 new flats under BTO in 2011. Homeseekers can look forward to another 1,500 BTO flats in Jurong West and Sengkang next month.
This will be supplemented by the Design, Build and Sell scheme (DBSS), and the Executive Condominium (EC) Housing Scheme, with 4,000 DBSS flats and 4,000 EC units in the pipeline.
