1,000 BTO flats on former Keppel Club site to be launched in October
SINGAPORE - Around 1,000 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats that will be built on the site of the former Keppel Club will be launched for sale in October.
Located within the Greater Southern Waterfront development, the BTO projects there will have two-room flexi to four-room flats, and public rental flats, National Development Minister Desmond Lee said in a Facebook post on May 15.
The upcoming blocks there will have between 19 to 46 storeys.
Mr Lee said the estate will have lush green spaces, designed in line with the area's rich biodiversity. The project is located next to the Berlayer Creek, which houses one of two remaining mangroves in southern Singapore.
A granite rock outcrop, known as Batu Berlayar in Malay, or Dragon's Teeth Gate, once stood near Berlayer Creek and served as a navigational marker to guide maritime traders safely to Singapore's shores as early as the 14th century, he noted.
'New landscaped terraces and green corridor features will also be integrated into the development to facilitate ecological movement and create new habitats to attract and protect biodiversity, as guided by recommendations from an environmental study and insightful feedback from nature groups,' Mr Lee said.
A preschool and a nature-themed playground will be located in the estate.
In July, the HDB will offer about 740 flats in Toa Payoh West near Caldecott MRT station, Mr Lee added.
The project, bounded by Toa Payoh Rise and Braddell Rise, will have an eatery, shops and a preschool.
He noted that residents can also access a nearby hawker centre and neighbourhood shops.
HDB's flat portal said the development will house two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats.
Mr Lee said the Government will launch more than 50,000 flats between 2025 to 2027. In 2025, HDB will put out about 19,600 homes across various projects.
