May 2023 BTO Launch Review: Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Best Unit
BTO launches are always an exciting time for homeowners, and this latest May 2023 BTO“https://stackedhomes.com/december-2023-bto-launch-an-overview-of-the-6057-units-on-offer/”>2023 BTO launch is no different. There are more units launched this time as compared to the previous February 2023 BTO launch, and we’re looking at 5,495 flats up for grabs, sprawled across five projects in the estates of Bedok, Kallang Whampoa, Serangoon, and Tengah.
What makes this launch particularly noteworthy is that almost 90% of these BTO flats (spread across four of the projects) boast a waiting time of less than four years – an unprecedented trend that marks this launch as one of the most time-efficient ones we’ve seen recently. For those with their eyes set on settling down sooner rather than later, this is certainly a launch to consider.
And for those in a real hurry, Parc Meadow @ Tengah takes the cake with its tempting waiting time ranging from three years and one month to three years and four months (not to mention, it’s also going to be near the new ACS (Primary) site). The other four projects – Plantation Verge in Tengah, Bedok South Blossoms, Serangoon North Vista, and Farrer Park Arena – are no slouch either, with waiting times between three years and five months to four years.
Also thrown into this mix are an additional 1,500 Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) units that HDB has put on offer.
There is also the sole Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) site at Farrer Park Arena.
To refresh your memory, here’s what you need to know about buying a PLH BTO flat:
- 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).
It’s worth noting that Subsidy Recovery is applicable at 6% regardless of when flats are sold in the future.
Now, with that groundwork laid, it’s time to delve into our comprehensive review of each BTO site on offer, where we’ll share an overview of the project, highlight the best stacks (in our humble opinion), and discuss the pros and cons of the site and unit layouts.
So without further ado, let’s jump right into our review of the May 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.

Farrer Park Arena (Kallang/Whampoa)
Project Overview
Farrer Park Arena is bounded by Farrer Park Road and Dorset Road. The project is offered under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model and comprises 3 residential blocks, each with 24 storeys. You can choose from 569 units of 3- and 4-room flats.
The name Farrer Park Arena takes inspiration from the past, as the project site used to house a boxing gym. The former boxing gym building will be repurposed into a multi-purpose community sporting space to honour its unique heritage. In addition, you can also jog amid the green surrounds of Farrer Park Arena and work out at the adult and elderly fitness stations. Those who enjoy ball games will enjoy the hard court located at the roof garden above the Multi-Storey Car Park. Other facilities within the project include children’s playgrounds, a childcare centre, and a residents’ network centre.
Residents can also enjoy more facilities located just next door, such as a proposed park and new sports centre, which will boast swimming pools, a field, as well as other sporting facilities.

Overall Pros vs. Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Short walk to the future Tengah Park MRT station (estimated to complete in 2028) | Being an entirely new estate, there may be lots of construction in the vicinity |
| Under 15 min walk to Le Quest Shopping Mall which has a supermarket and a decent selection of eateries | Some units are facing the PIE |
| Good mix of unit types | |
| A primary school will be built just next to the cluster |
Schools
- Pioneer Primary School
Thoughts on the site plan
- Certain stacks face the MSCP directly
- Some stacks face each other directly
- May expect some waiting time for the lift as some blocks have 7 units sharing 2 lifts while some have 9 – 13 units sharing 3 lifts
- Sheltered linkways connect all the blocks and the MSCP
- There is a sheltered walkway to the bus stop
- Has 3 drop-off points
- There will be a child care centre and other amenities within the development which is an added convenience for the residents
