7,000 HDB flats to be built at Greater Southern Waterfront, first BTO project to be launched in October
The site of the former Keppel Club will be transformed into Berlayar estate, a new area at the Greater Southern Waterfront that will offer around 7,000 public housing units, said Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat.This is up from the 6,000 units that was previously announced earlier this year.Speaking at the HDB Awards Ceremony on Sept 23, Chee unveiled the masterplan for Berlayar estate, adding that the first project — Berlayar Residences — will be launched at the October 2025 sales exercise.Berlayar estate will span some 48 ha and is estimated to provide about 10,000 new homes when completed, of which about 7,000 will be public housing.«Berlayar marks an exciting first step towards realising our vision for urban living along the Greater Southern Waterfront. It reflects our vision for the future of public housing – to provide not just roofs over our heads, but also liveable spaces where communities can thrive,» said Chee.Berlayar Residences will offer 870 Build-to-Order (BTO) units — including 2-room Flexi, 3-room and 4-room flats — and 200 rental flats.
