Demand for many big-ticket items may have dwindled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but it seems Build-To-Order (BTO) flats are seemingly immune to these market forces.

For the Feb-2021 BTO exercise, 3,740 new flats will be released in mature estates like Kallang and Toa Payoh as well as new estates like Bukit Batok and Tengah.

The BTO launch application will end on 10 Feb, so here’s a rundown of the flats available.

1,842 BTO flats open for grab in mature estates in Feb

Surrounded by 3 MRT stations – Boon Keng, Farrer Park, and Bendemeer – various religious sites, and sports facilities, McNair Heights at Kallang/Whampoa ranks high on the convenience chart.

Not only is the famed Whampoa Hawker Centre only a 5-min bus ride away, but the myriad of eateries along Balestier Road and Lavender Street will also satisfy even the pickiest of foodies.

The central estate has been among the most sought-after in past BTO launches. Apart from its proximity to town, we think the nearby Bidadari Park might also have something to do with its popularity.

1,898 BTO flats to be offered in new estates

While newer estates might not have as much amenities compared to mature ones, their advantages include a quieter environment and a cheaper price tag.

One such area is Bukit Batok which is close to Bukit Gombak and Bukit Batok MRT Stations on the North-South Line. 2 BTO projects will be located in the estate in the Feb-2021 launch — West Hill @ Bukit Batok and Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok.

Though relatively ulu, West Hill @ Bukit Batok has arguably the largest variety and number of flats available, catering to all sorts of homebuyers.

Apart from the usual types of BTO flats, Bukit Batok is also the pilot site for Community Care Apartments in Singapore, which provides assisted living for seniors.

Communal areas, recreational facilities, as well as a community garden also enable seniors to age actively.
