3,000 BTO flats to be built in Dover Forest in Ulu Pandan
The Straits Times
|October 14, 2022
First project to launch in Nov; blocks to have staggered heights to maximise views
Around 3,000 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats will be built in the eastern half of Dover Forest across three housing projects, with the first to be launched in November.
The first project will comprise 1,330 three-room and four-room flats in housing blocks with staggered heights to maximize views of the Ulu Pandan Canal and the Holland Grove landed estate.
The blocks facing the canal will be low-rise, while those closer to Commonwealth Avenue West will be high-rise, the Housing Board said on Thursday.
New housing estates such as Ulu Pandan are designed sensitively to minimize the impact on the environment and, where possible, incorporate nature to improve residents' way of living, said Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Kiat How, who gave details of the project on Thursday.
As part of the new generation of HDB homes, the developments in Ulu Pandan will weave nature and water bodies into the housing landscape, he said at an HDB event held at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh.
Blocks will have sky terraces and roof gardens.
