Homeowners rejoice – the November 2022 BTO launch has just been announced. It’s clear from the news that HDB is trying to address the concerns of Singaporeans who are in need of a home. From news pieces like 2,000 new BTO flats in Tengah to have shorter waiting times of just over 3 years, to more new flats to be set aside for first-time homebuyers, there has been an effort made to fix the supply of new homes coming up.
We’ve recently also written about whether BTO supply has been keeping up with application rates (spoiler, it hasn’t), and so new homeowners will be very happy to hear that the November 2022 BTO launch is set to be the biggest yet since the inception of the BTO system. With 9,655 Build-To-Order flats for sale, this is nearly double the number in the August 2022 BTO launch. This will be across 10 housing projects in 5 estates (Bukit Batok, Tengah, Yishun, Kallang/Whampoa, and Queenstown). 3 of these (2 in Queenstown and 1 in Kallang/Whampoa) will fall under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model.
If you need a quick refresher, here’s what you need to know:
- 10-year MOP instead of five years
- No renting out the whole flat
- Subsidy Recovery, on top of the existing resale levy
- Tighter eligibility requirements
- Reduced number of flats set aside for MCPS
Those applying for PLH sites should be aware that Subsidy Recovery (SR) is applicable at 6% regardless of when flats are sold in the future.
There are also another 1,071 flats on offer in the Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) scheme, and HDB has also extended the application to nine days to allow buyers more time to select their units.
The dateline will be open until 1 December 2022, Thursday 11:59 pm.
As always, our review is broken down by the 10 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 very popular, so here’s our comprehensive review of the November 2022 BTO launch!

Overall Pros vs. Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Buona Vista MRT station is just across the road and is connected by an underground walkway | PLH rule applies |
| Just opposite Star Vista which has a Cold Storage and a variety of eateries | For families looking for bigger space, there is a lack of 5-room units |

- Fairfield Methodist School (Primary)
Thoughts on the site plan
- Certain stacks face the MSCP directly
- Some stacks face the MRT track and Commonwealth Avenue West which can get busy during peak hours
- Inward facing stacks are a good distance from one another with playgrounds and fitness stations separating them
- 7 – 10 units sharing 5 – 6 lifts is very healthy, with the exception of block 50A which has 8 units sharing 3 lifts but 3 of these stacks are 2-room units
- Sheltered linkways connect all the blocks and the MSCP
- Each block has their own drop-off porch
- There is a sheltered walkway to the bus stop
Sun Direction
Most stacks are either north of south facing. However, stacks 201 – 205 and 217 – 219 may face more afternoon sun during the end of the year. Stack 215 will face the morning sun almost all year round.

Ulu Pandan Banks
Project Overview
Bounded by Commonwealth Avenue West, Ghim Moh Link and the Ulu Pandan Park Connector, Ulu Pandan Banks is located near Dover MRT station. Its name references the Ulu Pandan Canal, which is located next to the site. In developing the plans, HDB has considered the findings from the Environmental Baseline Study and Ecological Profiling Exercise, feedback from Nature Groups and the community, as well as site context. The site will be developed sensitively, with green and blue elements weaved into the plans to support the local biodiversity, while enhancing residents’ well-being. The development comprises 7 residential blocks. 3 blocks have heights staggering from 33 to 44 storeys high, 2 blocks have varying heights from 10 to 12 storeys, while another 2 blocks range from 6 to 8 storeys in height. You can choose from 1,330 units of 3- and 4-room flats. Ulu Pandan Banks is offered under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model.
Ulu Pandan Banks is located within the Health District @ Queenstown and will be designed with a variety of wellness choices for residents to experience a healthy and conducive living environment. For example, the development comes with a fitness trail at the skybridges linking 3 residential blocks at the 34th storey. It also features a range of recreational facilities closely located to one another to foster family and inter-generational bonding. These include playgrounds for children, fitness stations for adults and elderly, and a hardcourt. The sky terraces and roof gardens within all the residential blocks, and roof gardens atop the Multi-Storey Car Park make for ideal spots to exercise or rest while enjoying scenic views. Retained trees, pockets of bio-swales, and rain gardens on the grounds of the development provides a tranquil and green environment, while landscaped paths designed as restorative trails lead to the adjacent park and Ulu Pandan Park Connector where residents can be closer to nature.
Additionally, there will be a terraced rain garden designed with resting decks and a combination of steps and ramps catering to users of various fitness levels. This provides a holistic environment to encourage active living across all ages. A childcare centre and residents’ network centre will also be located within Ulu Pandan Banks.
HDB’s first car-lite precinct
As announced by LTA and HDB on 5 Oct 2022, there will be designated HDB car-lite precincts within gazetted car-lite areas. They are planned with good public transport, walking, and cycling connections.
Ulu Pandan Banks will be HDB’s first car-lite precinct. It is located next to Dover MRT within the gazetted Ulu Pandan car-lite area. Residents of Ulu Pandan Banks will enjoy good public transport connectivity, with convenient access to rail and bus services. There will be sheltered elevated linkways connecting them directly to Dover MRT station and barrier-free accessibility to bus stops along Commonwealth Avenue. To enable residents to walk safely, vehicular roads will be located at the perimeter of the precincts, segregated from the main pedestrian walkway. There will also be a comprehensive network of walking and cycling paths, providing residents with seamless connectivity to the neighbourhood centre and key amenities in Ghim Moh via the Park Connector Network.
Designed for residents to adopt green modes of commuting, the parking provision will be reduced, freeing up space for public facilities and greenery. With more limited parking provision, available lots will be prioritised for residents in these precincts through additional parking demand management measures:
- Season parking will be reduced and restricted to residents only. Similar to all other HDB residential carparks, season parking sales will be on a first-come-first-served basis, subject to availability, and residents’ first car will be accorded higher priority than residents’ 2nd and subsequent car(s). As non-residents will not be able to buy season parking within car-lite precincts, they may do so at alternative nearby car parks.
- Residents who buy season parking for their 2nd and subsequent vehicles will be charged a higher Tier 2 season parking rate pegged to Tier 2 Restricted Zone rate, subject to availability. Learn more about the tiers for monthly season parking charges and the current rates.
- Short-term parking for visitors will remain available, albeit with limited lots. Parking charges may be adjusted based on demand.

Queensway Canopy
Project Overview
Bounded by Queensway, Queen’s Crescent, and the Rail Corridor, Queensway Canopy is designed to take advantage of the scenic surroundings and its proximity to the Rail Corridor. The 5 residential blocks will have staggered heights, from 6 to 40 storeys, and are orientated to maximise the views from their units. You can choose from 996 units of Community Care Apartments, 3-, and 4-room flats. The Community Care Apartments will feature assisted living provisions, which integrates senior-friendly design features with care services and social programmes to let you live your golden years with peace of mind. This assisted living concept is designed for seniors to live an active lifestyle, enjoy independence, and connect with friends. The Community Care Apartments are offered to seniors (aged 65 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. The residential block with the Community Care Apartments is expected to complete in 3Q2028.
Within the block housing Community Care Apartments, there will be furnished communal spaces on each floor for residents to mingle and build social networks. You can use these furnished spaces to catch up with neighbours and share meals at the communal spaces, or participate in group activities.
Queensway Canopy is located within the Health District @ Queenstown. Residents will be able to access a range of initiatives that will be implemented to enhance their physical, social, and mental well-being. For example, Queensway Canopy will feature a range of recreational facilities to foster family and inter-generational bonding. These include children’s playgrounds, adult and elderly fitness stations, and a hardcourt. A childcare centre, an Active Ageing Centre (Care), and an ActiveSG Gym in collaboration with SportSG will also be located within the development. The roof gardens above some residential blocks and atop the Multi-Storey Car Parks (MSCP) make for ideal spots for residents to interact with one another or exercise. The side of the development facing the Rail Corridor will boast a stretch of inter-connecting roof gardens, acting as an extension of the canopy provided by the trees at ground level. The development derives its name from these roof gardens.

In Garden Waterfront II @ Tengah, the roof garden on the MSCP is linked to nearby residential blocks via sky terraces.
About Garden District
The Garden District is framed by Tengah Pond and Central Park. This picturesque setting will be complemented by the garden-themed farmway, which encourages healthy and active living. The Garden Farmway is a key feature of the Garden District, helping to foster a new lifestyle centred on community gardening and hobby farming. Residents may be able to enjoy farm-to-table dining as they grow their own produce and share the fruits of their harvest. These activities will offer residents the opportunity to experience a different lifestyle, connect with one another, and ignite the kampung spirit.
Thematic playgrounds inspired by nature motifs such as flowers and garden creatures, strengthen the visual identity of Garden District and encourage imaginative play among children. Green markers at key entry points along the Garden District, such as botanical arbours framed with flowering creepers, provide shade and visual respite amidst the urban environment.
An array of amenities such as eateries, schools, and retail shops, will be available in Garden District to meet the daily needs of residents.

Overall Pros vs. Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Located in a serene environment away for the hustle and bustle | Will have to take a bus out to Yishun/Khatib MRT station and retail options at Northpoint |
| Basic amenities are a short walk away at Yishun Park Hawker Centre and also Yishun Mall which is a cluster of HDB shophouses that consist of two supermarkets, a wet market and various food options | There is a proposed Health and Medical Care facility just beside the cluster which some individuals may have superstitions about |
| Nature lovers will love its proximity to Yishun Park | No 3-room flats for families or couples who prefer a smaller unit type |
| Within 1km of four primary schools Huamin, Naval Base, North View and Northland Primary School | |
Schools
- Huamin Primary School
- Naval Base Primary School
- North View Primary School
- Northland Primary School
Thoughts on the site plan
- Most stacks are north-south facing
- Certain stacks face the MSCP directly
- Certain blocks have up to 11 4/5-room flats sharing just 2 lifts, so wait times could be quite long
- Link bridges and sheltered walkways connect all the blocks and MSCP
- Most stacks face each other directly
- 2 accessible rooftop garden
- Main bin centre is located away from residential blocks
- Unconfirmed sheltered linkway to the bus stop
Sun Direction
Afternoon sun is not a main problem here as most stacks face either north or south. However, stacks 101 – 109 and 275 – 285 will face the afternoon sun for about the the year, while stacks 241, 243, 321 and 323 will bear the full brunt of the afternoon sun for most of the year.

Thoughts on the site plan
- Only 1 stack faces the MSCP directly

- Good amount of space between certain stacks
- Certain blocks have up to 10 units mostly made up of 4 and 5-room flats just sharing 2 lifts
- Link bridges and sheltered walkways connect all the blocks and MSCP

- Sheltered linkway to the bus stop along Yishun Avenue 1
Sun Direction
A handful of stacks are direct south-facing, however, several units have a southwest facing which would get direct afternoon sun for half of the year. Stacks 182, 184 (5-room), 150, 152 (2-room) and 114 (3-room) are the worst as it is almost direct west-facing.

Best Stacks
| Flat Type | Block | Stacks | Floor Level | Reasons |
| 2-Room (Type 1) | 524C | 214, 216 | Doesn’t matter | Faces an area reserved for a park so the views are more or less guaranteed to be unblocked so long as the master plan doesn’t change. |
| 2-Room (Type 2) | 522B | 120, 122 | Mid to high | Unblocked views of the development facility area. Mid floor onwards protects residents from being blocked by the future high-rise opposite. |
| 3-Room | 524B | 194 | Mid to high | Not directly facing any block but needs to surpass the low floor given the drop-off point facing |
| 3-Room | 522C, 523B | 132, 168 | Doesn’t matter | Good distance to the next block |
| 4-Room | 524A, 524B | 186, 188, 200, 202 | Doesn’t matter | Faces an area reserved for a park so the views are more or less guaranteed to be unblocked so long as the master plan doesn’t change. |
| 4-Room | 523A, 523B | 170, 172, 178, 180 | High (must surpass potential high rise development opposite) | Reservoir-facing. |
| 5-Room | 524B, 524C, 524D | 196, 198 210, 212, 224, 226 | Doesn’t matter | Faces an area reserved for a park so the views are more or less guaranteed to be unblocked so long as the master plan doesn’t change. |
| 5-Room | 524A | 174, 176 | High (must surpass potential high rise development opposite) | Reservoir-facing. There are just 2 stacks of 5-room flats here that faces the reservoir so this would be very valuable in the development. |
Aranda Breeze @ Yishun
Aranda Breeze @ Yishun is bounded by Yishun Avenue 1 and Yishun Street 53. The development comprises 6 14-storey blocks. 2 of these blocks will house some rental flats. You can choose from 699 units of 2-room Flexi, 4-, and 5-room flats.
The name ‘Aranda Breeze @ Yishun’ describes the development’s location near the breezy Lower Seletar Reservoir as well as other nearby parks. Just like the nearby Miltonia Breeze @ Yishun and Vanda Breeze @ Yishun, Aranda Breeze @ Yishun is also named after an orchid. Nature motifs will be throughout Aranda Breeze @ Yishun, such as on the walls of communal spaces to aid wayfinding.
Set among lush greenery at the centre of the development will be fitness corners, children’s playgrounds, and resting shelters, which provide recreational and communal spaces for the residents. The Multi-Storey Car Park comes with a roof garden and a childcare centre at the ground level.

Thoughts on the site plan
- Several stacks face the MSCP directly
- Only 1 MSCP could make quite a walk for those staying on the east side
- Certain blocks have up to 10 units mostly made up of 4 and 5-room flats just sharing 2 lifts
- Link bridges and sheltered walkways connect all the blocks and MSCP
- Most stacks face each other directly
- 1 accessible rooftop garden
- Bin centre is located close to 4 stacks
- Sheltered linkway to the bus stop along Yishun Avenue 1
- Good distribution of drop-offs around the development
Sun Direction
Many stacks are either northwest or southwest-facing, putting these units in direct afternoon sunlight for around half a year.

Best Stacks
| Flat Type | Block | Stacks | Floor Level | Reasons |
| 2-Room (Type 1) | 529B | 199, 201 | High | Reservoir-facing but must surpass the site of worship opposite |
| 2-Room (Type 2) | 529B | 203, 205 | High | Reservoir-facing. Need to surpass potential high-rise residential site opposite. |

| 4-Room | 526B | 131 | High | Reservoir-facing. Needs to be high floor given the potential high rise block opposite. This is the only stack that has a direct reservoir view and would be the most soughtafter stack. |
| 5-Room | 526A | 111, 113 | High | Reservoir-facing. Needs to be high floor given the potential high rise block opposite. These are the only stacks that has a direct reservoir view and would be the most soughtafter stack. |
