November 2021 BTO Launch: Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Best Unit (New PLH Model)

Welcome to the last BTO guide of the year – our November 2021 BTO Launch Guide to help you choose the most suitable unit. This time, there will be 4,501 units across 6 estates on offer including the first Prime Location Public Housing Model (PLH). These are spread across 8 projects in Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Jurong West, Tengah, Kallang Whampoa, and Central Area.

If you are gunning for a unit this year, 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

Still, despite the additional restrictions and future uncertainty, that doesn’t seem to have deterred much of the Central area’s popularity – with the 4-room nearly 5 times oversubscribed at the time of writing.

For those of you who have been following us for a while now, we’ve decided to do a more in-depth analysis of each site – with the last being the Aug 2021 BTO launch.

Our review is broken down by the 8 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 been highly requested, so here’s our comprehensive review of the November 2021 BTO launch!

Parc Clover @ Tengah (Tengah)

Project Overview

Parc Clover @ Tengah  will be bounded by Tengah Park Avenue, Tengah Boulevard, and Tengah Drive. Set in lush greenery, the name Parc Clover @ Tengah is inspired by the clover-like arrangement of its residential blocks, which are arranged in four clusters, each with a central courtyard.

You can choose your home from 1,124 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-, 4-, and 5-room flats, which will be housed in 12 residential blocks ranging from 8 to 14 storeys, with some blocks housing rental flats. Flats in this development will have a shorter waiting time.

Rest and relax at the variety of green spaces available in the development, such as sky terraces at one of the residential blocks, and roof gardens above the Multi-Storey Car Park and at some of the residential blocks. You will also find facilities to help you stay active, such as children’s playgrounds and adult and elderly fitness stations in the development. A childcare centre will be located in Parc Clover @ Tengah for your convenience. Please refer to the site plan for the facilities provided in the development. Facilities in this development will be accessible by the public.
