Welcome to the first BTO guide of the year – our February 2022 BTO Launch Guide to help you choose the most suitable unit. This time around is slightly smaller than the November 2021 BTO launch, there will be 3,953 units across 4 estates on offer including the second Prime Location Public Housing Model (PLH). These are spread across 6 projects in Tengah, Yishun, Geylang and Kallang/Whampoa.
If you have set your sights this time, you’d probably need no introduction on the new PLH model, but just to recap:
The PLH model will impose additional restrictions, on HDB flats bought in prime areas:
– 10-year MOP instead of five years
– No renting out the whole flat
– Subsidy Recovery, on top of existing resale levy
– Tighter eligibility requirements
– Reduced number of flats set aside for MCPS
Our review is broken down by the 6 BTO sites on offer, starting with the mature estates. We share an overview of the project, the best stacks (in our opinion) as well as the pros and cons of the site and unit layouts on offer.
This has always been hotly anticipated, so here’s our comprehensive review of the February 2022 BTO launch!

The name Plantation Creek references the development’s location along the waterway leading to the nearby Tengah Pond. Inspired by these water bodies, Plantation Creek adopts water motifs throughout its design, with abstract waveforms on the building façade and wave swirls in the landscape design.
Plantation Creek comes with various recreational facilities, such as playgrounds and fitness stations. An eating house, supermarket, shops, restaurants, childcare centre, and residents’ network centre will be conveniently located within the development. The roof gardens located above the Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) and childcare centre will serve as ideal spots to relax amid the greenery.

Smart Solutions
Plantation Creek will come with the following smart solutions to reduce energy usage, and contribute to a more sustainable and safer living environment:
- Smart-enabled homes with provisions to support easy installation of smart systems
- Smart Lighting in common areas to reduce energy usage
- Smart Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System to optimise the deployment of resources for cleaner and fuss-free waste disposal
Centralised Cooling System
Residents can choose to subscribe to having air conditioning provided by a centralised cooling system. This system for public housing is the first of its kind in Singapore.
Cooling to each household unit will come from highly energy-efficient chillers, and residents need not install nor maintain outdoor condensing units on their air-conditioner ledge. They will get to enjoy cost savings while contributing to a sustainable lifestyle in this eco-friendly district. Residents may decide to subscribe to the centralised cooling system after signing the Agreement for Lease. More information will be provided during the flat selection exercise.
Overall Pros vs. Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Good unit mix | Lacks schools for now. |
| The development comes with Childcare centre, great for families with young children | Lacks shops and food options for now |
| Affordable quantum | slightly away from MRT station |
| Certain stacks face the PIE, noise would be an issue |
Thoughts on the site plan
- Most stacks are North-East and South-West orientation.
- MSCP acts as a buffer from PIE road noise
- Lack link bridge to connect blocks to MSCP.
- Inner stacks are too close to opposite block.
- 7 to 11 units per floor sharing 2/3 lifts.
Sun Direction
Stacks are generally north-south facing, however, south-facing stacks do have a slight angle towards the west.
