Singapore’s Housing & Development Board will release about 19,600 Build‑To‑Order flats in 2026, with the final batch slated for October.
October 2026 launches span six towns
The October sales exercise includes projects in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun. Across these sites, the mix of Standard, Plus and Prime flats will total roughly 4,000 units with waiting periods under three years.
National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat said HDB remains on track to deliver 55,000 flats between 2025 and 2027, with 127 projects under construction. The government is prepared to expand supply if demand stays strong.
Application rates have fallen sharply, dropping from a median of seven applicants per flat in 2020 to between 1.1 and 1.9 in 2025. Resale price growth also stalled in late 2025, suggesting the increased public‑housing intake may temper the resale market.
Demand remains robust.

Bedok Bayshore: transit‑centric coastal precinct
Located along Bayshore Drive, the Bedok Bayshore development will sit next to the upcoming Bayshore MRT station on the Thomson‑East Coast Line. A second station, Bedok South, offers additional options.
The 860‑unit estate will contain 350 two‑room Flexi flats and 510 four‑room flats, targeting seniors, singles and small families. On‑site amenities include a food house, two retail shops, two preschools, a Residents’ Network Centre, an Active Ageing Centre and a Kidney Dialysis Centre.
Family‑focused facilities such as a proposed nursing home, Temasek Secondary School and a SAFRA Clubhouse slated for 2030 are also planned nearby.
Geylang and Sembawang: varying transport links
In Geylang, the 440‑unit project borders Jalan Anggerek and the under‑construction Merpati Road. It is a short walk from Mattar MRT on the Downtown Line and close to the MacPherson interchange, linking to the Circle Line.
The flat mix features 170 two‑room Flexi units and 270 four‑room units, aimed at seniors and small families. No five‑room flats are offered, limiting options for larger households.
Sembawang’s 1,310‑unit estate sits between Sembawang Drive and Admiralty Lane. The nearest MRT stations are a few bus stops away, making public‑transport reliance necessary.

Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun: connectivity and amenities
The Tengah Plantation precinct will be served by the Jurong Region Line, with nearby JE1, JE2 and JS4 stations. Proximity to the Pan Island Expressway may bring traffic noise to some blocks.
Toa Payoh’s development sits beside Caldecott MRT interchange, offering Circle Line and Thomson‑East Coast Line access. Amenities include a food court, fast‑food outlet, supermarket, four retail shops, a preschool, a Residents’ Network Centre and an Active Ageing Centre.
Yishun’s details were not disclosed in the source, but the broader October rollout continues HDB’s effort to diversify housing options across the island.
Overall, the October 2026 BTO launch reflects HDB’s strategy to balance supply with demand, especially for smaller households, while maintaining a focus on transit‑oriented locations and community facilities.
