About 3,300 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats with shorter waits of less than three years will be offered in the upcoming October sales exercise across four projects in Bedok, Sengkang and Yishun.

These flats make up more than a third of the 9,100 units that will be launched, and comprise two-room flexi flats to three-generation units, as well as assisted living flats for seniors, the Housing Board said on Oct 12.

It did not reveal the launch date.

HDB said the four projects bring the total number of shorter waiting time flats launched in 2025 to 4,690 units, exceeding its commitment to launch 4,500 such flats this year.

It will launch 4,000 flats with shorter waits each year in 2026 and 2027, as part of its efforts to reduce wait times.

In the October sales exercise, two projects in Yishun will offer a combined 1,395 units with a wait of two years and seven months.

Located within the upcoming Chencharu housing estate, the 826-unit Chencharu Grove project along Bah Soon Pah Road and Chencharu Link will offer two-room flexi to five-room flats across six blocks.
