- Jurong West Crystal
- Rajah Summit
- Ulu Pandan Glades
Of these, two projects — Ulu Pandan Glades in Queenstown and Farrer Park Fields in Kallang/ Whampoa — fall under the PLH model.

Three different types of flats are available at Farrer Park Fields:
- 2-room Flexi — from S$185,000
- 3-room — from S$356,000
- 4-room — from S$484,000
Buyers will have to wait for about 53 months, or about 4.4 years, for the project to be completed.
The HDB will be bounded by Race Course Road, Hampshire Road, and Farrer Park Road.

Owners of flats under the PLH model face stricter buying and selling conditions, including a 10-year minimum occupation period (MOP).
Homeowners who eventually sell the units will also have to pay HDB back a percentage of their unit’s resale price.
This subsidy clawback, however, will not apply to two-room Flexi units offered at Farrer Park Fields under “short lease”.
