2025 has been a busy year for HDB launches, with demand for public housing remaining strong. Earlier in the year, the February and July BTO exercises, alongside Sale of Balance Flats (SBF), brought a combined over 20,800 units to the market. Now, the final exercise of the year is shaping up to be just as significant.
The October 2025 BTO exercise will feature 10 projects across 8 towns, offering nearly 9,900 flats—almost as many as both February and July combined, despite not having an accompanying SBF exercise.
This launch is especially noteworthy because it introduces flats in new precincts like Mount Pleasant and the Greater Southern Waterfront, alongside popular mature estates such as Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Toa Payoh, and Bukit Merah. With flat types ranging from 2-room flexi units to 5-room, 3-Gen flats, and Community Care apartments, this round caters to a wider spectrum of households, from singles and seniors to large families.
