Hundreds of new Housing Board Build-To-Order (BTO) flats that have yet to be announced for sale are being built in Clementi, Toa Payoh and Bukit Merah.
Some 753 units will sprout up on a plot of about 1.6ha near the intersection of Clementi Avenue 6 and Commonwealth Avenue West, while construction for 741 units is under way on a 1.7ha site at the intersection of Braddell Rise and Toa Payoh Rise, based on checks by The Sunday Times at the respective sites.
HDB also received permission from the Building and Construction Authority in August to begin structural work for 1,462 flats on a Bukit Merah housing site in Alexandra Road.
Of the 1,462 units, 964 are part of the Alexandra Peaks project launched in December 2023, while the remaining 498 units will be built next to Alexandra Peaks in a development that has not been launched for sale.
The new Clementi flats are being built on a site vacated under a Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers) project announced in 2005 as part of efforts to rejuvenate the Clementi town centre. Sers allows the Government to renew older estates by redeveloping flats on land with high development potential.
According to HDB notices put up near the site, work on the 753 flats comprising two-, three- and four-room units began on Sept 20. The flats are set to be completed by the first quarter of 2029.
An information panel on-site states that there will be four residential blocks three 40-storey blocks and a 34-storey block as well as a childcare centre, an eating house, a minimart, a precinct pavilion and a seven-storey car-park with a roof garden.
