If you’ve been on the lookout for a BTO, Christmas has come early for you with the launch of the December 2023 BTO (most analysts have also mentioned the possibility of reduced demand). There’s a total of 6,057 units on offer this time, spread out over 7 locations (Bedok, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Queenstown and Woodlands). 2 of the projects will be offered under the Prime Location Housing (PLH) model, Alexandra Peaks in Bukit Merah and Ulu Pandan Vista in Queenstown.
For those who need a quick refresher on choosing a PLH flat, here’s what you need to know:
- An extended Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 10 years instead of the usual five.
- No renting out the entire flat is allowed during this period.
- The application of a Subsidy Recovery on top of the existing resale levy.
- More stringent eligibility requirements for applicants.
- A reduced number of flats set aside for the Married Child Priority Scheme (MCPS).
Do note that the subsidy recovery rate for this batch of PLH flats will be set at 8 per cent, which is higher than the 6 per cent in previous PLH projects. Also, 20 per cent of the PLH flats in Alexandra Peaks and Ulu Pandan Vista will be set aside for first-timer families, and 2 per cent for second-timer families under the Married Child Priority Scheme.
With all that out of the way, here’s our review of the December 2023 BTO launch!

The challenge for many buyers today isn't access to information.
It's interpreting that information in a way that makes sense for their finances, goals, and stage of life.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.

Chai Chee Green (Bedok)
Project Overview
Chai Chee Green is bounded by Bedok North Road and Chai Chee Lane. The project comprises 7 residential blocks of 15 storeys and 2 Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) blocks. You can choose from 1,234 units of Community Care Apartments, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats.
The Community Care Apartments is a public housing assisted living concept that integrates senior-friendly housing with on-site social activities and care services that can be customised according to the individual’s care needs to support seniors to age independently in their silver years within the community. Community Care Apartments are offered to seniors (aged 65 years and above) on short leases between 15 and 35 years (in 5-year increments), where the lease chosen must be able to cover the applicant and spouse (if any) until at least the age of 95 years. Within Blk 816B which houses the Community Care Apartments, there will be furnished communal spaces on every floor for residents to mingle and bond with one another, share meals, or participate in programmes specially curated by the community manager. This helps to build meaningful social networks and enhances seniors' engagement and well-being.
The project’s name pays homage to Chai Chee’s historical background as a vegetable marketplace, with the residential blocks lined up in a linear formation, mimicking the rows of shops within a market. At Chai Chee Green, residents will enjoy the convenience of having various facilities located within the project, such as an eating house, a minimart, a residents’ network centre, a preschool, playgrounds, fitness corners, hardcourts, and a Community Care Apartment Activity Centre. There will also be recreational spaces for quiet respite, including shelters, pavilions, and roof gardens atop the Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP).

Overall Pros vs. Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| 10 minute walk to Upper Thomson MRT station | For families looking for bigger space, there is a lack of 5-room units |
| Walking distance to various amenities such as Thomson Plaza, Sin Ming Plaza, Shunfu Mart and the eateries located along Upper Thomson Road | Across the street from an industrial estate which some individuals may not fancy |
| Right next to the park connector that leads to the Bishan - Ang Mo Kio Park | |
| Peaceful neighbourhood with only a handful of HDB blocks and the Thomson Garden landed estate | |

Thoughts on the site plan
- None of the stacks face the MSCP directly
- All the stacks are either north or south facing and will not be affected by the west sun
- Inward-facing stacks are a good distance from one another with playgrounds and fitness areas separating them
- 8 units sharing 3 lifts is pretty healthy
- Sheltered linkways connect all the blocks and the MSCP
- There is also a sheltered linkway to the neighbouring HDB cluster
- Has 3 drop-off points
- There will be a preschool and other amenities within the development which is an added convenience for the residents

Its strategic location also offers residents easy access to a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

Overall Pros vs. Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| A short walk to the Woodlands MRT station (dual line) and Causeway Point | For families looking for bigger space, there is a lack of 5-room units |
| Right next to the Woodlands Sports Centre, Stadium and Swimming Complex | Some stacks will face the MRT track and may be affected by the track noise since it is above ground |
| Seated along the park connector that leads to Marsiling Park | Situated along Woodlands Avenue 3 which can get busy during peak hours |
| Numerous primary schools in the vicinity - great for families with children |
Schools
- Si Ling Primary School
- Woodgrove Primary School
- Fuchun Primary School
- Marsiling Primary School
- Qihua Primary School
Thoughts on the site plan
- Small cluster with just 2 blocks
- Certain stacks face the MSCP directly
- Some stacks will be affected by the afternoon sun
- All stacks are outward facing
- 6 - 7 units sharing 3 - 4 lifts is very healthy
- Sheltered linkways connect all the blocks and the MSCP
- There is also a sheltered linkway to the bus stop
- Has just 1 main drop-off point which serves the 2 blocks
