February 2024 BTO Launch Review: Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Best Unit

40 min read

The February 2024 BTO launch is the first of the year, with 4,126 units to select from 7 projects in different estates (Bedok, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Punggol, Queenstown, and Woodlands). Just one project this time will be under the Prime Location Housing (PLH) model, Tanglin Halt Courtyard.

For those who need a quick refresher on choosing a PLH flat, here’s what you need to know:

1. An extended Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 10 years instead of the usual five.

2. No renting out the entire flat is allowed during this period.

3. The application of a Subsidy Recovery on top of the existing resale levy.

4. More stringent eligibility requirements for applicants.

5. A reduced number of flats set aside for the Married Child Priority Scheme (MCPS).

As such, do note that 20 per cent of the PLH flats in Tanglin Halt Courtyard will be set aside for first-timer families, and 2 per cent for second-timer families under the Married Child Priority Scheme. 

Perhaps of greater interest to buyers would be the shorter wait time. Those who have a stricter timeline should look at locations like Bedok, Hougang, Punggol, and Woodlands as these come with a waiting time of less than three and a half years. 

Finally, the usual seven-day application window will be extended to eight days for this launch so take note!

With all that out of the way, here’s our review of the February 2024 BTO launch!

Prime Location Public Housing

Tanglin Halt Courtyard

Project Overview

Tanglin Halt Courtyard is nestled between Commonwealth Drive and Tanglin Halt Road, and located on the site of the former Tanglin Halt Neighbourhood Centre. The project presents a 48-storey residential block seamlessly integrated with a range of amenities. These include a 2-storey market and hawker centre with a roof garden, a polyclinic, a preschool, and a residents’ network centre. Offered under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model, this project comes with 251 units of 2-room Flexi and 4-room flats.

Located within the Health District @ Queenstown, Tanglin Halt Courtyard offers an array of recreational and communal facilities designed to enhance residents’ physical, social, and mental well-being. These include a central heritage courtyard where existing mature trees are retained and stand as a testament to the site’s history, thereby inspiring the project’s name. Additionally, sky terraces within the residential block provide ideal spots for unwinding and relaxation, while playground and fitness stations promote an active and healthy lifestyle for residents of all ages.

Smart Solutions

Tanglin Halt Courtyard will come with the following smart solutions to reduce energy usage, and contribute to a safer and more sustainable living environment:

• Smart-Enabled Homes with provisions to facilitate adoption of smart home solutions
• Smart Lighting in common areas to reduce energy usage

Overall Pros vs. Cons

Pros	Cons
Under 10 minute walk to Commonwealth MRT station	PLH rule applies
There is a supermarket, eateries and some shops for basic necessities located next to the MRT station	Limited unit mix – lack of 3 and 5 room units
Just a short walk to the Rail Corridor	May be affected by dust and construction noises as the neighbour goes through reconstruction
The entire neighbourhood will be renewed

Schools

• New Town Primary School
• Queenstown Primary School

Thoughts on the site plan

• Flanked by Tanglin Halt Road and Commonwealth Drive which are typically not too busy
• A good variety of amenities including a market, hawker centre, polyclinic and preschool, which are added convenience for the residents. However, this could bring with it some crowd from the nearby clusters.
• Sheltered linkways connect the block to the MSCP and amenities
• Since there is only one block, all stacks are outward facing
• The stacks are either north or south facing
• 6 units sharing 5 lifts is very healthy
• Has 1 drop-off point in the development which may get busy since residents from nearby clusters may also use the amenities here

Overall Pros vs. Cons

Pros	Cons
18 minute walk to Bukit Panjang MRT station and Hillion Mall	For families looking for bigger space, there is a lack of 5-room units
Slightly further walk to Bukit Panjang Plaza, but under 15 minutes to Junction 10	Perpendicular to the KJE and Woodlands Road so there might be some traffic noise especially during peak hours
Also within walking distance to the Senja Hawker Centre
Right next to the proposed Rail Corridor

Schools

• Teck Whye Primary School
• West View Primary School

Thoughts on the site plan

• The majority of the stacks are outward facing with a good number of them facing the park and Pang Sua River
• Inward-facing units may be somewhat close to one another
• Some stacks face the MSCP directly
• Blocks with 8 units sharing 2 lifts is pretty healthy but blocks with 9 – 13 units sharing 2 lifts could expect some waiting time
• Sheltered linkways connect all the blocks and the MSCP
• There is also a sheltered linkway to the bus stop
• Has 3 drop-off points serving 6 blocks
• There will be a preschool within the development

The project comes with children’s playgrounds, adult and elderly fitness facilities, a hardcourt, a residents’ network centre, as well as a 3-storey standalone preschool facing the lush common green. The common green comes with more facilities such as adult and elderly fitness stations, playgrounds, and a multi-purpose court.

Woodgrove Edge

Project Overview

Bounded by Woodgrove Avenue and Rosewood Drive, Woodgrove Edge  derives its name from its unique essence of having a linear park adorning its southern border. This project comprises 7 residential blocks, ranging from 15 to 16 storeys in height. You can choose from 1,127 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats.

Residents can enjoy the convenience of having a minimart, shops, eating house, preschool, and residents’ network centre within the project. Additionally, Woodgrove Edge will house various playgrounds and fitness stations, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle for residents of all ages. The project also comes with 2 roof gardens, each situated atop a Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP), providing serene green spaces for residents to unwind and connect. The adjacent future park will serve as an alternative spot for outdoor fun and exercise.

Overall Pros vs. Cons

Pros	Cons
A short walk to The Woodgrove which has a supermarket and various eateries	Not within walking distance to any MRT stations
Walking distance to the park connector that leads to Marsiling Park	Situated along the SLE so there might be some traffic noise and dust
A good mix of unit types
Numerous primary schools in the vicinity – great for families with children

Schools

• Si Ling Primary School
• Woodgrove Primary School
• Fuchun Primary School
• Innova Primary School

Thoughts on the site plan

• The cluster is quite densely packed
• There are 2 MSCPs and certain stacks face the MSCPs directly
• Majority of the stacks are inward-facing – most of which have a good distance between them
• Blocks with 8 units sharing 2 – 3 lifts is pretty healthy but those with 13 – 14 units sharing 3 lifts could expect some waiting time
• Sheltered linkways connect all the blocks and the MSCPs
• There is also a sheltered linkway to the future bus stop
• Has 4 drop-off points serving 7 blocks
• There will be a preschool, eating house, minimart and shops within the development which is an added convenience for the residents
