Information to know for applying
Application for the new flats launched in the August 2020 BTO exercise can be made online on the HDB InfoWEB from today (Aug. 12) to Aug. 18. Applicants can apply for only one flat type/category in one town under the BTO exercise.
All the information on the BTO flats on offer is available at HDB InfoWEB.
HDB announced that projects may take longer than normal to complete due to existing site conditions, the calibrated restart of construction activities and the requirement for building contractors to adhere to strict safe management measures to prevent a resurgence of Covid-19 at construction sites.
Flat buyers are advised to take the estimated project completion timelines into consideration before deciding to submit an application.
Those who have urgent housing needs could consider purchasing an HDB flat in the resale market instead, where first-time buyers may enjoy up to $160,000 in housing grants.
Minister for National Development Desmond Lee also shared this information in a Facebook post.

In November 2020, HDB will offer about 5,700 BTO flats in Bishan, Sembawang, Tampines, Tengah and Toa Payoh. Of these, the flats in Tengah will have shorter waiting time.
In February 2021, HDB will offer about 3,500 BTO flats in Bukit Batok, Kallang Whampoa, Tengah and Toa Payoh.
