2-room flexi units available in non-mature & PLH estates

Couples, families and even singles who desire cosier homes can consider 2-room flexi units which will be available in the three non-mature estates and Bukit Merah:

  • Petir Park Edge in Bukit Panjang – also has 4-room units
  • Jurong Arcadia in Jurong West – also has 3-, 4- & 5-room units
  • Woodlands Beacon in Woodlands
  • Alexandra Peaks in Bukit Merah (Prime Location Public Housing Model, PLH) – also has 3- & 4-room units

Woodlands also has another BTO project named Urban Rise @ Woodlands, which only offers 3- and 4-room flats.

Besides Alexandra Peaks, Ulu Pandan Vista in Queenstown is similarly under the PLH model, with 3- and 4-room units available.

Those who’d like to make their applications for a flat may do so via HDB’s flat portal from today (5 Dec) till Monday (11 Dec).

Shorter waiting time for flats

HDB noted that four of the projects have waiting times of four years or less, with Sin Ming Residences having the shortest duration:

  • Sin Ming Residences (Bishan) – 32 months
  • Jurong Arcadia (Jurong West) – 37 months
  • Chai Chee Green (Bedok) – 39 months
  • Petir Park Edge (Bukit Panjang) – 48 months

The board said that it has been “working on various measures to reduce the waiting time for upcoming BTO flats”.

Thanks to such efforts, nearly 70% of flats launched this year have had waiting times of four years or less.

HDB expressed its commitment to offer more such projects moving forward and launch more flats with shorter waiting times (SWT) from 2024.
