May 2022 BTO launch review: Ultimate guide to choosing the best unit , Money News

There’s no question about it – the May 2022 BTO launch is going to be hotly contested. There will be 4,583 Build To Order (BTO) flats across five estates that will be launched – with the main draw the two projects under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model in Bukit Merah and Queenstown. To round up, the other projects are in Toa Payoh, Jurong West, and Yishun.

For those who need a reminder on the PLH model, here’s a quick overview of what you need to know.

The PLH model will impose additional restrictions, on HDB flats bought in prime areas:

Ten-year MOP instead of five years
No renting out the whole flat
Subsidy Recovery, on top of the existing resale levy
Tighter eligibility requirements
Reduced number of flats set aside for MCPS

Our review is broken down by the five 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 always been eagerly anticipated, so here’s our comprehensive review of the May 2022 BTO launch!

Notes

Apartment Prices Up for Singles: What to Expect

When you’re eyeing a new flat, the pricing can feel like a maze. But let’s break it down in plain, slightly cheeky terms.

Rounding Rules & Inclusive Extras

• Prices rounded to the nearest thousand—so you don’t end up trading $1,637 for $1,600.
• Everything you’d expect is baked into the price: floor finishes, internal doors, and sanitary fittings. No surprise add‑ons later.

Singles vs. Couples: The Cost Gap

If you’re a single applicant going for a 2‑room Flexi flat under the Single Singapore Citizen (SSC) Scheme, you’ll see the price tag climb a modest $15,000 higher than married couples.

Can You Offset That Extra?

• Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG)—you’re eligible to claim up to $40,000 in extra help.
• Keep in mind: the grant will vary based on your income, so cheaper households get a bigger slice of the pie.

Bottom Line

Yes, the price figures are a bit tougher for singles, but with the Oasi grant and the fixed inclusions, you can budget with confidence. Happy house hunting!

Mature estate

Kim Keat Heights (Toa Payoh)

Project overview

Bounded by Lorong 7 and Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, Kim Keat Heights comprises two residential blocks ranging from 27 to 36 storeys. Both blocks will house some rental flats. You can choose from 385 units of two, three, and four-room flats.

The design of Kim Keat Heights will pay homage to Toa Payoh’s heritage, using motifs and colours inspired by the iconic dragon playground located within the town.

Kim Keat Heights will have a sky garden connecting both blocks offering panoramic views of Toa Payoh. Other facilities within Kim Keat Heights include a Community Club integrated into the development, a precinct pavilion, playgrounds as well as adult and elderly fitness stations. The roof garden above the Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) offers an additional space where you can relax and unwind.

Toa Payoh’s Grand Housing Countdown

Ever wondered how many new homes will pop up in Toa Payoh? Let’s break it down, no fuss, just facts with a dash of personality.

What’s the Timeline?

• Estimated Completion: Q3 2027 – that’s roughly the end of the year‑long “Build‑Your‑Dream‑Home” circus.
• Waiting Time: About 55 months – roughly four and a half years of eye‑rolling patience (but hey, good things come to those who wait).
• Lease Remaining: 99 years – your castle will stand for almost a full century. Who knows, you might start your family or your empire in 2123!

Fitting the Selection Window

People wanted a chance to line up for these new homes – the race opened in July 2022 and closed in April 2023. A tight window, but it’s exactly that kind of luck you need when you’re chasing a frame‑rate‑like property hunt.

The Numbers of the New Homes

• Two‑Room (Type 1): 34 units – the cozy kind for those who keep their lives simple.
• Two‑Room (Type 2): 86 units – a slightly upgraded version of the Type 1.
• Three‑Room: 100 units – great for apartments where a little extra space is welcome.
• Four‑Room: 165 units – because some people just LOVE having a spare for the hamster or the show‑room.
• Total: 385 units – that’s one big chest of future living spaces. Picture a gigantic apartment mall, minus the parking lots!

Why All the Numbers Matter

Let’s be real: size matters. Whether you’re a minimalist or a home‑cooking aficionado, the right number of rooms can turn your daily grind into a playground. And with almost a century of lease left, you won’t have to think about moving by … just yet.

The Takeaway

By the end of 2027, Toa Payoh will boast 385 brand‑new flats spread across four room categories. Anyone who’s been eyeing the 2022‑2023 selection window is now in the “long‑term patience” club – only the best of the best get in. Keep an eye on the releases, because once the doors open, the next chapter of your life could begin.

Why Kim Keat Heights Is Going Green—And It’s Pretty Cool

Picture a place where the future feels like a walk in a garden that’s actually biodegradable. Kim Keat Heights is plotting the next chapter of sustainable living with a lineup of eco‑savvy upgrades that would make even the most skeptical environmentalist do a double-take.

The Green Gears That’ll Keep You (and the Earth) Smiling

• Recyclable Waste Chutes – Separate bins that feel like they’re on a secret mission to keep water‑color art from becoming trash. Toss your paper, plastics, or pizza boxes, knowing they’re headed straight to the recycling stream.
• Regenerative Lifts – These elevators don’t just lift you up; they also lift energy efficiency. Think of them as the iron‑man of the building: they’re both powerful and eco‑friendly.
• Bicycle Stands – Because the best fuel for a bike is a sense of adventure—and a sensible helmet. Hubs that encourage you to swap cars for pedals, making your commute greener and your cardio better.
• Park‑Or‑Charge Spaces – Parking slots aren’t just a space for your SUV; they’re a promise of electric future. A future where your car charges fast and the city’s grid stays happy.
• Sustainable Building Materials – From bamboo to recycled steel, every component screams, “I care about the planet.” They’re the superhero materials of tomorrow’s construction.
• ABCD Water‑Magic Scheme – Active, Beautiful, Clean, and Design‑forward. This clever system filters rainwater into crystal‑clear runs that pour through green corridors, turning ordinary downpours into a splash of purity and beauty.

Bottom Line: Live, Laugh, and Leave a Green Footprint

Kim Keat Heights isn’t just building a skyline; it’s crafting a living, breathing environment where sustainability isn’t a buzzword, but a lifestyle. If root‑level pasta is your vibe, you might want to start looking at a future that slides into neighborhoods with a gentle, green breeze.

Smart solutions

Kim Keat Heights Goes Green – and It’s Smart!

Moving into Kim Keat Heights means you’re getting more than just a great view. The building’s got a smart‑home makeover that saves energy, keeps folks safe and lets everyone breathe easy.

1⃣ Plug‑and‑Play Smart Homes

Ever wanted to turn on your lights, lock the doors, or zap a gadget from your phone while you’re on the beach? Kim Keat Heights makes that so simple it’s practically magic. The infrastructure is built with easy‑install smart systems in mind. Think of it as a shortcut for your future 4‑zone home‑control network.

2⃣ Bright, Bright, Bonus: Smart Lighting in Common Areas

• Energy‑Efficient LEDs: These lights use way less power than the old incandescent bulbs, meaning the elevator, lobby, and hallways look vibrant while the bill stays thin.
• Automatic Dim & Bright Mode: The lights adjust to the day’s ambient conditions, so you won’t waste energy on a deserted hallway at midnight.
• Push‑Button Control: Need to switch off the corridor lights after the night club closes? Just hit a button, and the system does the rest. No dimples, no fuss.

All combined, Kim Keat Heights isn’t just a block of rooftops – it’s a full‑energy‑budget, safety‑first lifestyle upgrade that keeps the planet happy and the apartment bill light.

Meet the “Mighty Three” of Singapore’s Primary Scene

Ever wondered which primary schools are turning everyday kids into future superheroes? Look no further – we’ve hand‑picked three clubs that’re shaping happy, smart, and slightly mischievous little humans. Let’s roll out the red carpet for Kheng Cheng School, Pei Chun Public School, and the legendary First Toa Payoh Primary School.

1. Kheng Cheng School – Where Learning Meets Laughter

• Calendar‑Ready Curriculum: From arts to sciences, their timetable is so well‑balanced that even the cafeteria ordering system feels like a coherent dance routine.
• Dr. Ling’s Lab: Head professor Dr. Ying Ming turns every experiment into a “life lesson” workshop. One day she said, “Remember: a dropped beaker is less about physics and more about resilience.”
• Cheerleader Culture: School assemblies? More like pep‑rap sessions, with inspiring chant‑downs for class GPA trophies.

2. Pei Chun Public School – Turbo‑Charged Creativity

• Block‑buster Art Projects: “Build Your Own Comic Planet” art days make students think of themselves as cosmic storytellers.
• Robotics Lab: Kids programming tiny robots; one project became the school’s self‑deflecting peanut butter sandwich incursion over the lunch break.
• Community‑First Spirit: Their “Recycle‑and‑Reinvent” initiative turns old rubber boots into penny‑cushion launchers.

3. First Toa Payoh Primary School – Innovation Packed in a Compact Space

• Mini‑Safari Mathematics: Integrating Einstein’s equations with jungle animals for a killer class quiz.
• All‑A‑Round Life Skills Program: Cooking, coding, photography – it’s a well‑rounded school vitamin‑boost package.
• Annual Spelling Bee: Trailing a possum with “Squirre‑t” – students can’t help but giggle over the typo avalanche.

Why The Trio? Of Course, Because They Each Have A Light‑Hearted Edge, Cute. And They’re Perfect For Those Parents Who Like Their Kids To Laugh While Learning.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or just chasing a good read, these schools provide a snapshot of what Singapore’s primary education can be: Out‑of‑the‑box innovation, hands‑on fun, and countless giggle moments. If you’re thinking, “Is this the best thing to see for a school day?” just remember that after lunch, you might see a toddler earn a ‘Pudding Chef’ badge for making banana‑bread in a science lab – because, hey, learning is a playground, right?

Thoughts on the site plan

Most stacks are north-south facing
27 – 36 storeys high puts residents above most HDBs around
Certain stacks faces the MSCP directly
All stacks are furthest away from the busier Lorong 6 Toa Payoh
six or seven units sharing four lifts is very healthy
Link bridges directly connects to the blocks which is a huge plus!
No stacks faces each other directly
Sheltered linkway to the bus stop

Sun direction

Sun‑Bright Surprise: Stacks 115 & 113

Most of the stacks here run north‑south, straight along the coast. The only two that break the rule are stack 115 and stack 113, and they actually catch the morning sun for roughly half the year.

What’s Inside the Two‑Room Flexi (Type 1) Flat

These tiny homes aren’t just a space‑saving marvel – they’re a fully‑fitted, feel‑good living experience. Below is a quick rundown of the ready‑to‑go finishes, the optional extras you can add, and the real‑world pros & cons to keep in mind.

Standard Finish – “It’s All About the Flavour of the Floor”

• Floor tiles in the Bathroom, Living Area (household shelter), and Kitchen.
• Wall tiles in the Bathroom and Kitchen.
• Sliding partition/door that splits the bedroom from the living space, plus a folding bathroom door for that classic “no‑clutter” touch.
• Grab bars – handy for short‑lease Flexi flats so the squeeze‑some of a circulation break‑downs is avoided.

Optional Component Scheme (OCS) – Choose Your Extras!

Feel your inner interior designer with three add‑on packages that will turn your two‑room into an absolute joy‑hub.

• Package 1: Flooring for Living / Dining & Bedroom – $1,850
  • Replace the vinyl strip flooring (the “passport” to your living & bedroom) with something a little more exciting.
  • Every buyer gets a three‑panel sliding partition that graciously keeps the living room and bedroom separate – no “oops, I walked in” moments.
• Package 2: Sanitary Fittings – $530
  • Upgrade to a wash basin with a tap mixer (because two taps is a good thing).
  • Get a shower set that includes a bath/shower mixer – the perfect combo for a quick rinse or a full soak.
• Package 3: Dress‑Up for Short‑Lease Flexi Flats – $6,120
  • Must be paired with Package 1.
  • Lighting that turns your little space from “empty hall” to “candy shop”.
  • Window grilles – because we’re all about the airy, yet secure.
  • Built‑in kitchen cabinets with a sleek induction hob, cooker hood, sink, tap, and a dish‑drying rack. For our wheel‑chair‑bound guests, a lower kitchen counter is optional.
  • Built‑in wardrobe – your clothes and secrets safely tucked away.
  • Water heater – because cold showers are so last season.
  • Bathroom mirror and toilet‑roll holder that keeps the drama out of your every day.

Pros & Cons – The Real Talk

Pros

• Living and bedroom windows line up – the view is consistent, no awkward theatrical framing.
• Cabinets mostly sit on one side, but hey, the entrance gives a nice split and a room‑deep vibe.

Cons

• The dining area is awkwardly placed just outside the common toilet – so you might need to practice your “one‑step‑away” dining strategy.
• TV space feels a little tiny – you’ll need to choose a compact, high‑definition screen or free up a corner.
• There’s a structural column between living and dining that keeps you from a fully open layout – be ready to craft a rocking furniture arrangement around it.

So, what’s the verdict? If you want a compact, fully furnished space that’s flexible enough for short commitments, you’re in the right spot. Pick the packages that suit your lifestyle and enjoy living in a home that feels as comfortable as a hug from a pillow.

Overall pros vs. cons

Living in the Heart of the City

Picture this: a place right in the hustle‑and‑bust of the CBD, tuned in to the pulse of Singapore’s most vibrant neighborhood. That’s the vibe of this block – it’s literally walking distance from the glittering offices of downtown.

Pros: The Good Stuff

• Close to the CBD – You’ll never be more than a brisk stroll away from the city’s business hub.
• Convenience is key – Basic amenities sit just next to the Bukit Merah View Market and Food Centre. And if you crave a bit more retail action, Tiong Bahru Plaza is only a hop away.
• Transit tangle‑free – Flanked by the Redhill and Tiong Bahru MRT stations, you’re never stuck in traffic.
• Kids’ learning zone – Within a kilometer, you’ll find three primary schools (Gan Eng Seng, Alexandra & Zhangde), making school runs a piece of cake.
• Mixed‑use magic – The building’s location means you enjoy the blend of office, retail and residential vibes.

Cons: A Few Hiccups

• High‑Density Hurdle – The “high scale and tower blocks” can lead to longer waiting times during rush hour.
• Space on the menu – Families craving larger homes might find the building’s five‑room units scarce.
• PLH rule applies – Some flexibility on public housing rules is limited, which could be a sticking point for certain buyers.
• Once again, space constraints – If you’re looking for a larger footprint, you’ll not have a lot of options for bigger units.
• Overall zoom factor – The scale of the project means you’ll see more moving parts than a single, quiet compound.

Bottom line: If you’re all about that city life with quick access to amenities and schools, this spot ticks the boxes. Just keep the door-to-door commute and the unit size in mind before you make that move!

Schools

Meet the Three Cornerstones of Learning

Ever wondered where bright minds get their start? Look no further than these three top-notch primary schools that have been shaping little scholars lately:

1. Gan Eng Seng Primary School

• Founded in 1990, it’s famous for its “Tear‑not‑Tea” policy—just kidding, no one ever turned up a whole teacup for a drop of tears.
• Its outdoor classrooms (a.k.a. the lush school grounds) keep kids looking up at the sky while they juggle crayons.
• Students proudly parade their Army of Cheerful Minds—fun fact: the motto is actually “Wonder. Believe. Achieve.”

2. Alexandra Primary School

• Located amidst vibrant Alexandra Street, the school blends heritage vibes with cutting‑edge teaching.
• They host a “Surprise Lunch” event every Friday—think of it as a mystery mystery—so you never know whether it’s cupcakes or sushi.
• Teachers proudly say, “We don’t just teach; we inspire.” And they’re right—students leave school with glittery projects and a sprinkling of confidence.

3. Zhangde Primary School

• Its name, “Zhangde,” translates roughly to “Strength Through Learning.” No joke—they’ve got a Strength Lab where kids build wooden robots.
• In a district buzzing with creativity, the school offers an Art‑Fusion Programme where painting meets coding.
• Every kid gets a “School Spirit Badge”, literally a badge attached to their school badge—yes, it’s that cute.

So, whether you’re looking for a place where the giggles are frequent, the projects are extra‑ordinary, or the lines of learning touch every corner of imagination, these three schools are the dream team you can find right in the city. Get ready to watch those little bright stars soar!

Project overview

All the Inside Scoop on Your Queenstown Home

Get ready for some exciting updates about your soon‑to‑be home in the scenic town of Queenstown – the place where the mountains meet the lake and the coffee is always extra strong.

Location Highlights

• Town: Queenstown – where every day feels like a postcard.

Project Timeline

• Estimated Completion Date: 1Q 2028 – That’s the first quarter of 2028. Mark your calendar; it’s the year we finally make this place a reality.
• Estimated Waiting Time: 60 months – In plain English, that’s a little over 3 years. Think of it as those long weekends that stretch into two consecutive sighs.

Lease Info

• Remaining Lease: 99 years – Almost a whole century! Plenty of time to build a legacy, or at least a comfy grand‑parent palace.

Selection Window

• Selection Period: July 2022 to April 2023 – The window during which you could have jumped aboard. Spoiler: even if you missed it, the new home’s still coming this way.

So, there you have it. Your future home in Queenstown is on the horizon, and all the numbers line up to make it a golden opportunity – just enough time to let anticipation build, then a finish line that’s not too far away. Keep your excitement high; soon you’ll be sipping warm tea by the lake with a place that’s finally yours.

Flats at a Glance: The Three-Room and Four-Room Breakdown

Quick Take

• Three-Rooms: 196 units – perfect for a cozy couple or a group of roommates.
• Four-Rooms: 671 units – that’s the sweet spot for families wishing to avoid the “upstairs-has-no-toilet” drama.
• Total: 867 flats – a robust snapshot of today’s housing landscape.

Why Does It Matter?

When you’re juggling a rental decision or simply curious about the housing market, knowing the split between Three-Room and Four-Room flats gives you a handy guide. For instance, if you need extra space for a hobby or an office, a four-room flat might be your best bet. On the other hand, a three-room home can keep your rent low and your life manageable.

Keeping It Light

• Think of the Four-Rooms as the VIP lounge of flats—tall, roomy, and ready for all the “spontaneous family gatherings” that might pop up.
• Meanwhile, the Three-Rooms are the dependable “backyard campers” of the rental world—solid, budget-friendly, and just enough space to make a “home” feel like a home.

Final Thought

So whether you’re a future real-estate guru or simply a curious onlooker, these numbers help paint a clear picture: Housing is all about choosing the right space that fits your lifestyle and budget. And remember, each flat comes with its own “elevator pitch”—just choose the one that says “home” in your own words.

Eco-friendly features

To encourage green and sustainable living, Ghim Moh Ascent will have several eco-friendly features such as:

Separate chutes for recyclable waste
Regenerative lifts to reduce energy consumption
Bicycle stands to encourage cycling as an environmentally-friendly form of transport
Parking spaces to facilitate future provision of electric vehicle charging stations
Use of sustainable products in the development
Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters design features to clean rainwater and beautify the landscapes

Smart solutions

Ghim Moh Ascent will come with the following smart solutions to reduce energy usage, and contribute to a safer and more sustainable living environment:

Smart-enabled homes with provisions to support easy installation of smart systems
Smart Lighting in common areas to reduce energy usage

Overall pros vs. cons

Is This New Apartment a Gold Nugget or a Titanic?

When it comes to picking a new home, it’s like ordering a pizza – you want the right toppings but also need to dodge the crispy crust that gets stuck in the dishwasher. Below, we break down the good stuff (the pros) and the things you might want to chew on before signing that lease.

Highlights You’ll Love

• Convenient Commute – 5‑minute walk to the Dual‑Line Buena Vista MRT station. Your daily “chit‑chu” will be a breeze.
• Green Meets City – Right next to the Eco‑Friendly Greenways, giving you a quick dash to the Rail Corridor—and maybe a sunrise jog if you’re an early‑bird.
• Foodie Heaven – Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre foot‑looper across the street, plus the ever‑exciting Holland Village dining spots just a stone’s throw away.
• Retail Parade – Star Vista’s lineup of shops makes every shopping day feel like a new adventure.
• School‑Friendly – Certain blocks are a “kiss‑kiss” distance from Henry Park Primary School, a hotspot for future leaders.
• LEO Kids’ Playground – Families with big dreams can still find 5‑room units, if you’re in the market for a little extra space.

Things to Keep an Eye On

• “Tall‑tower” Reality – The high‑scale layout means you might have to wrestle with wait times for elevators or knocking on doors to get your counterpart’s response.
• Noise & Views – South‑facing stacks may mean construction chatter from future residential developments. Plus, you might lose those shot‑on‑film city views.
• Size Alert – No 5‑room options for families who want that extra little space in the living room—so you might need to scan other listings.
• Market Regulation – The PLH (Public Land Holding) rule means you’ll have to stay on the “fast‑track” track for any upgrades.
• Longer Wait Times – Tower blocks, while a playground for the bold, can create longer waiting lines for your groceries, fives.

All said, this place is a real mixed‑bag. If you cherish public transit, green connectivity, and a vibrant food & retail scene, it may very well be your next happy nest. But if you’re a “more space” advocate, a noise‑free view lover, or someone that needs a swift line‑of‑sight through the lift, you might want to keep browsing. Whatever you decide, good luck!

Schools

Henry Park Primary School: A Short‑Walk Adventure

Henry Park Primary School sits proudly in the heart of the neighbourhood, but here’s the twist: not every block around it is snugly within one kilometre.

What That Means For Parents and Pupils

• While the school is in the shadows of the park, some homes might feel a bit like a short stroll to the nearest café.
• Think of it as a quick mini‑exercise: you’ll get a dose of fresh air and a moment to chat with your neighbours before the first bell rings.

Why It’s Worth the Extra Steps

Even if you need to step out a lane or two, you’ll discover:

1. More chances to meet friendly faces in the community.
2. A shared sense of adventure for the kids that turns everyday routines into small, exciting stories.

Getting There Made Simple

Grab your favourite shoes, hop on a bike, or even bring your trusty dog “Speedy” for a brisk walk. Whatever path you choose, you’ll arrive ready to focus on learning, play, and those brilliant, bubbly smiles that make the day bright.

Thoughts on the site plan

Building Highlights: What Makes This Place Stand Out

Let’s break down the layout magic of this project in a way that feels like a friendly chat over coffee.

1. Orientation Matters

• North‑South Orientation – Most stacks are angled a bit off the classic north‑south line, giving residents a fresher view of their surroundings.
• MSCP Facing – Some units line up directly with the main shelter, so everything feels anchored and ready.

2. Connectivity with the Bus Hub

• There’s a link bridge that ties only a handful of blocks straight to MSCP, so commuters can hop on their bus without chasing gates.
• Those block‑to‑bus “direct bridges” are the real win‑win – no detours, just instant access.

3. Parking – A Bit of a Walk

• For the stacks tucked near Gim Moh Close, the car park sits a tad farther away. A short stroll, but a good little shuffle to get the heart pumping before the day starts.

4. Space Between Units

• There’s a healthy distance between the stacks. Nice breathing room, less noise, and a lot more privacy.

5. Two Entrances, Plenty of Flow

• Even though the plot is modest, there are two entrances. A little extra manoeuvring keeps the flow smooth and reduces crowding.

6. Shelter Straight to the Bus Stop

• One of the biggest perks? A direct pathway to the bus stop, so you’re not exposed to the weather when time’s ticking.

7. Lift Sharing – The Sweet Spot

• With seven‑eight units sharing between three to five lifts, the wait times stay short. That’s the sweet spot between efficiency and cost.

8. Views That Worth Money

• Several stacks offer the kind of landscaped or golden‑money view that makes you feel like you’ve just landed a million‑dollar prize.

Putting it all together, this layout is a blend of thoughtful design, practical convenience, and a hint of luxury. Feel free to poke around and see how each piece fits into the bigger picture!

Sun direction

Beware the Sun‑Banging Stacks

When you’re eye‑checking the 139, 141, 153 and 155, keep your sunglasses on — they’re all angled toward the south‑west. By late fall, you’ll get a direct dose of summer’s last rays, so plan ahead to stay cool.

Pros vs Cons – The Real Deal

Pros	Cons
Separate living & dining area – keeps the vibe bright.	Dining could feel a bit cramped if crowds are at play.
Yard layout allows placing dryer and washer on opposite sides – truly practical.	Common toilet faces the living room – “door‑to‑door” suggestions in the making.
Good‑sized kitchen entails ample cabinets and a dedicated counter.	Main door opens into the dining area – sneak freshness or an unplanned dance challenge.
The dumbbell layout maximizes space efficiency.	Installing AC in the common bedroom on the left may prove tricky.
TV console wall is cosy, despite the bedroom bumping out.	Master bedroom is a tad smaller—king‑size bed might border on a dare.
Space is trim and manageable—no over‑caution of big BTOs.	Smaller than the average three-room BTO flat—perfect for budget tricks, but toast!

Whether you’re looking to upgrade or simply choosing the layout that works best for your lifestyle, this three‑room flat has been crafted to meet modern needs with stylish flair. Make your choice and enjoy the comfortable, stylish living you deserve!

What’s Inside Your Future Four‑Room Flat

Let’s roll out the carpet—literally—of what you’ll get when you step into this sleek, four‑room home. Think of it as a tour guide that’s talking, not just listing.

Flooring Frenzy

• Bathrooms, shed, and the kitchen/service yard – all sport fresh floor tiles that tile the space in style.

Wall‑Worthy

• Bathrooms and kitchen – walls are graced with tiles that keep the moisture at bay while adding a splash of chic.

Optional Extras (Because Why Not?)

If you enjoy adding a little sparkle to your living environment, the Optional Component Scheme gives you room for personal flair.

Item	Description	Cost

Internal Doors & Sanitary Fittings	Three laminated UPVC bedroom doors Two laminated UPVC folding bathroom doors Washbasin with tap mixer Shower set with bath / shower mixer	$3,180

Why It Works (And why it’s not perfect)

• Efficient layout – The space is neatly squarish, giving you a sense of order.
  • But structural columns can pinch open layouts for the living area and the main bedrooms.
• Sleep tight – Every room can accommodate a queen bed; the master welcome’s a King.
  • Just be warned: there’s not a lot of wall space left for a TV console.
• Master bedroom stands out – It’s spacious, so you can lounge without feeling cramped.
  • The downside? It may feel a tad cozy compared to average four‑room condo standards.
• Living & Dining area – A good-sized zone to entertain or just relax.
• Kitchen solutions – With two side cabinets, your culinary dreams get a place to hang.
• Separate living and dining zones – Keeps the flow smooth; the holiday hosts will love the division.
• Service yard layout – Designed to comfortably hold a washer and dryer on both sides.

In short, this flat offers a balanced blend of functionality, style, and a touch of personal flair. Ready to tap into a home that’s as practical as it is polished? Let’s make it happen!

Sun‑Shooting Stacks: A Weather Watcher’s Guide

Hey there, green‑thumb aficionados! If you’ve ever noticed that a bunch of mushroom stacks in your garden lean just right, it’s no coincidence – they’re all pointing northwest.

Why matter? Because those northwest‑oriented stacks get a generous dose of afternoon sunshine when the seasons swing toward midsummer. Think of it like a warm hug from the sun at the peak of the day, keeping the fungi cozy and thriving.

Benefits of the Northwest Tilt

• Morning chill” relief: The stacks dodge the harsh, early‑morning glare, so the cool, moist environment stays sweet.
• Afternoon warmth boost: As the day progresses, the stacks soak up just the right amount of sunshine – perfect for photosynthetic growth.
• Balanced humidity: The orientation helps maintain a steady moisture level, reducing fungal drying out.

Bottom line: If you want your mushroom stacks to enjoy a lovely sun‑kissed mid‑year, give them that northwest lean. Your fungi’ll thank you with lush growth and tasty spoons of flavor!

• Cons
  • The living/dining area is a bit narrow, like trying to cram a big sofa into a tiny closet.
  • One door opens right onto the toilet door – privacy may feel like a co‑worker with a peeky habit.
  • Main door options create a bit of an awkward furniture arrangement around the dining and living areas.

All in all, these Flexi (Type 2) flats are a perfect blend of practical design and heartfelt comfort – a little space that knows how to keep you laughing and living, all at once.

What’s on the Green Menu?

• Bike‑Friendly Spot: Racks that welcome every two‑wheel commuter—because cycling is basically walking for the Earth.

Overall pros vs. cons

Pros
Cons

 Walkable distance to Yishun MRT station
Away from the expressway and CBD, do expect heavy traffic along Yishun avenue 2 during peak hours

Walking distance to North Park City for major retail option
Located along the main road and MRT line, the development will also face traffic and above ground MRT noise.

Affordable quantum
Depending on the individual, if you are someone that is superstitious about staying right next to a hospital, this site is not for you

Within 1Km proximity to a few Primary School options, namely, Hua Min, Northland, Naval Base, Peiying and Jiemin Primary School.
 

Thoughts on the site plan

How the Inner Stacks Stack Up (No Extra Baggage)

Here’s the skinny:

• Most of the inner stacks keep a respectable distance from their neighbors – a nice breathing room.
• But a handful? They’re practically elbow‑to‑elbow.
• Some stacks have their backs straight towards the MSCP – they’re basically facing the wall.
• There are two entry points that work well for a development of this scale.
• The link bridge ties the closest blocks together – a shortcut that actually makes sense.
• North–south orientation is the dominant theme across the stacks.
• In a few blocks, only two lifts service up to 11 units, which means a bit of a wait time if you’re on the 10th floor.
• And just so you know, there are no three‑room options across the board.

Why This Matters

Good spacing means less traffic and better ventilation, but those close‑in stacks might feel a bit crowded when everyone wants to get by. The bridge makes it easy to hop from one block to another without a trip to the lobby. In the end, the orientation and lift distribution set the vibe for daily life—like a living room that’s always a step away from the hallway.

Sun direction

Sun‑Sassy Stack Notice

When it comes to stack orientation, most of them proudly stand north‑south, soaking in the breeze that flows from pole to pole. But if you’re eye‑browsing 146 and 148, beware: these two love their afternoon glow like a yoga class under sunset—sun all year, every afternoon.

Key Takeaways

• North‑South Bias: The usual arrangement, perfect for the average stack.
• Sun‑Chasing Twins: Stacks 146 & 148 get a steady stream of sunlight every afternoon.
• Consider shade or angle tweaks if you’re planning to keep the cooler vibes.

Yishun Beacon: The Future of Home Building

Picture this: a brand‑new apartment where the builder has gone ahead of the game and used Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC). The result? The walls, floors, and even the plumbing are already finished before you step foot inside. No more haggling with contractors after a rainy day, no more endless to‑do lists for paint. Let’s dive into the juicy details of the five‑room fiberglass‑furnished flats.

What’s in the Box

• Vinyl strip flooring in the living/dining area and all bedrooms – easy to clean, looks great, and effortlessly chic.
• Floor tiles in the bathrooms, household shelter (aka the pantry), kitchen, and service yard – durability that matches your daily rhythm.
• Wall tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen – splash‑resistant style for a sleek vibe.
• Internal door selection: standard doors for bedrooms and fold‑out doors for bathrooms – more privacy, less clutter.
• Full sanitary fittings – washbasin with a tap mixer, shower set with a bath/shower mixer, and a water closet suite. All the essentials wrapped into one neat package.

There’s no optional add‑on scheme for this unit, so you’re locked into the fantastic, ready‑to‑move setup.

Pros: The Good Stuff

• No choke‑point columns in the bedroom walls means an open layout and sunlight flowing everywhere.
• All rooms fit a queen easily – the master bedroom even guzzles a king bed for that night‑time luxury.
• The master bedroom feels huge – think of it as a personal suite versus a cramped studio.
• Massive countertop space beside the dining area doubles as a breakfast counter – it’s practically a kitchen on a plate.
• Sandwiched privacy thanks to the door opening right onto the bomb shelter wall, giving you a safe‑space vibe.
• The “dumbbell” layout (think two rooms flanking a central hub) adds clever functionality and keeps your space efficient.
• A separate living and dining area builds that essential “social zone” for movie nights or impromptu karaoke sessions.

Cons: The Not‑So‑Great Bits

• Kitchen cabinet constraints mean they can only go on one side – plan your storage strategy accordingly.
• AC installation can get tricky in the common bedroom (the right side) because of the dumbbell layout. You might need a crafty HVAC consultant.

Bottom Line

Yishun Beacon’s PPVC approach gives you a turnkey living space where every plank and tile has been finished before you set foot inside. Think no construction headaches, just a move‑in ready makeover that balances style, comfort, and a touch of modern charm. If you’re after a breezy, efficient layout without the typical renovation hassle, these five‑room beauties have got your back.

May BTO 2022 Review: A Quick Tour of the Flat Jungle

Two‑Room Treasures (Type 1 & 2)

• Block 936A, Floor 110 – “Green Thumb” view: The Yishun Town Garden. North‑facing, so your morning coffee gets a sun‑kiss.
• Block 936B, Floor 134 – Balcony? No, just a lovely green backdrop while the opposite HDB block tries to steal the spotlight. Still perfect north‑facing.
• Block 936A, Floor 108 – Same Yishun Town Garden view. Sometimes you need more than one view to keep your eyes happy.
• Block 936A, Floor 112 – Same green heaven. Might just be your future date‑night spot.

Four‑Room Fixtures

• Block 936E, Floor 184 – At the road junction, but with a sweet distance to the opposite block. Looks out on a wide green reserve – where your swing chair might finally sit.
• Block 936E, Floors 192 & 194 – Take the carpark warnings out, because you’re farther from the road. North‑facing, so the sun sticks your lawnmower on the porch.
• Block 936A, Floors 100 & 102 – Another gem: great distance to the opposite block, all north‑facing, perfect for morning yoga.

Five‑Room Fortresses

• Block 936A, Floors 104 & 106 – Again the Yishun Town Garden view. Green everywhere, blue skies, and the driveway is nowhere to be seen.
• Block 936E, Floors 188 & 190 – Stay away from the carpark chaos; distance to the opposite block plus a bold north‑facing status.
• Block 936E, Floor 186 – Junction perk: a good separation from the main road but still faces the traffic eye‑quick bird (MRT). The reserve area makes it a solid spot for future tree‑climbing plans.
• Block 936E, Floors 196 & 198 – Aiming for the mid‑to‑high floor. Looks out toward the entrance, but allows a graceful retreat from the MRT and gives you a deeper setback from the main road.
