All public housing projects delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic are expected to be completed by early 2025, said the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on Monday (Sept 2). So far, about 94 per cent - or 87 - of these Build-To-Order (BTO) projects have been completed from October 2020 to August 2024, added HDB. National Development Minister Desmond Lee pointed out how the pandemic severely disrupted HDB's building programme, and the construction delays have caused inconvenience to home buyers and disrupted many of their life plans. «Our HDB colleagues, consultants and contractors worked closely over the past few years to catch up on lost time to complete these delayed BTO projects. We are on track to deliver the remaining delayed projects within the coming six months,» he added. «We thank flat buyers for their understanding and patience through this period.» HDB has completed around 10,500 flats across 15 BTO projects this year, including 14 which had been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
