Flats at an integrated development in Tanglin Halt and two projects in Bedok are among nearly 4,100 units across seven Build-To-Order (BTO) developments that will go on sale in February 2024.

Flats beside the Punggol Reservoir in Sumang and a 1,120-unit project in Woodlands will also be on offer.

The Housing Board on Dec 5 released details on its website of seven projects that will be launched in the first BTO sale exercise of 2024.

It will offer flats in Bedok, Queenstown, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Punggol and Woodlands.

Some 250 two-room flexi and four-room flats will be launched on the site of the integrated development in Tanglin Halt, one of Singapore's oldest housing estates within Queenstown.

HDB unveiled plans for the integrated development, a key feature of the rejuvenated estate, in October.

The site, bounded by Tanglin Halt Road and Commonwealth Drive, is a five-minute walk from Commonwealth MRT station. It is unclear if more units will be offered at the site in future launches.

It will be the second BTO project in Tanglin Halt, where up to 5,500 flats will be built as part of redevelopment plans over the next 10 to 15 years.
