Bukit Merah will see two new Build-To-Order (BTO) projects after the Housing Development Board (HDB) launched 4,993 flats across seven estates.
The Bukit Merah projects come under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model, which includes a 6% subsidy clawback when the owner sells the flat for the first time.

Another BTO project was launched in Bukit Merah in May this year.
Both projects will include 3- and 4-room flats, for a total of 1,651 units across Havelock Hillside and Alexandra Vale.
Alexandra Vale will consist of 782 flats located next to Redhill MRT station.
Some blocks will reportedly go up to as high as 50 storeys. HDB noted that one of the blocks will have some rental flats.
Three-room flats will cost between S$385,000 and S$477,000 while four-room units will cost between S$547,000 and S$705,000.
Amenities include a childcare centre, a residents’ network centre, children’s playgrounds, and adult and elderly fitness stations.

Buyers can expect to wait until Q2 of 2028 for the flats to be completed.
Meanwhile, Havelock Hillside will consist of 869 three- and four-room flats across two blocks, located close to the upcoming Havelock MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL).
A link bridge connecting the two blocks will include a rooftop garden.

The blocks will be 42 and 45 storeys tall, and flats will go for between S$370,000 and S$515,000 for a three-room unit, while a four-room flat will cost between S$531,000 and S$730,000.
You can expect to wait until the fourth quarter of 2028 before Havelock Hillside is completed.
As the Bukit Merah flats are relatively close to the city area with several MRT stations nearby including Redhill and Havelock, it’s expected that there’ll be plenty of demand. Prime indeed.
