Which towns and projects are in the November 2026 BTO exercise?

A Build-To-Order (BTO) flat is a new public housing flat sold by the Housing and Development Board (HDB), Singapore's public housing authority, and built after enough buyers apply. The seven projects are Sembawang Anchor (1,310 units), Plantation Dew in Tengah (710), Chencharu Acres in Yishun (1,582), Bayshore Sails (1,637) and Bayshore Oasis (855) in Bedok, Merpati Meadow in Geylang (438) and Toa Payoh Hillside (1,432). Toa Payoh Hillside is classed as Prime, Sembawang Anchor falls under the Shorter Waiting Time scheme, and the Bayshore and Merpati projects are Plus, according to EdgeProp. Toa Payoh Hillside is the only project with Community Care Apartments (CCAs), 256 units on a 40-year lease.

How much do the flats cost?

HDB's annex gives indicative price ranges, which exclude grants and assume 99-year leases unless noted:

How competitive could the exercise be?

Huttons' Lee Sze Teck expects applicants to pass 30,000, with an application rate above 3.7, while PropNex's Kelvin Fong expects roughly 3.5 to 4.0 times, according to EdgeProp (4 November 2026). Final figures will only be known once HDB publishes them.

Why it matters

For buyers weighing BTO against resale or private options, the annex shows how widely prices differ by town and by tier. Prime and Plus projects sit well above Standard locations at the same flat size.
