As we ring in the new year, flat buyers and residents can look forward to new HDB initiatives! With the roll out of the HDB Flat Portal, home buyers and sellers now have a single integrated platform to gather information on the purchase or sale of a flat.
Meanwhile, residents of the recently completed flats in Punggol Northshore can enjoy smart HDB living, with features such as smart sockets in their homes, and sensors around their neighbourhood to facilitate the smooth delivery of estate maintenance services. Finally, the showflats at our My Nice Home Gallery have been refreshed with new design concepts and the latest fittings – we share what’s new, and how you can check out the virtual showflats from the comfort of your home.
In case you missed it: we have just launched the HDB Flat Portal – a one-stop platform for home buyers and sellers to gather information on available new flats and loan packages, and make use of calculators to start planning for the purchase of their dream home. The features of the portal will be launched progressively, starting with:
The HDB Flat Portal is the second phase of our ongoing efforts to further streamline and simplify the process of buying and selling HDB flats, following the launch of the HDB Resale Portal in 2018. HDB is looking to include resale flat listings in subsequent phases. Stay tuned as we continue to introduce new services to improve the transaction process for all HDB home buyers and sellers.
It’s 2021, and smart living in HDB estates and homes is no longer a distant dream. The first two smart-enabled housing precincts in Punggol Northshore, Northshore Residences I and II, have just been completed.

Need some inspiration for your new home? You’re in luck! We’ve just refreshed the showflats at our My Nice Home Gallery. The showflats feature the latest set of finishes and fittings that come with new HDB flats, such as flooring, main gate and doors, and clothes drying racks.
There’s something for everyone at the refreshed gallery. Check out the colourful, retro-inspired interiors of our 3-room showflat, with its combined kitchen/ utility space - a feature that was introduced in our 3-room flats last year to give flat owners more flexibility in configuring the space according to their needs.
Also stop over at the 2-room Flexi showflat for seniors, which sports a Mid-Century Modern decor. The flexible space that comes in select 2-room Flexi flats can be used for a variety of purposes such as dining, study, or an extra bed.
For now, the showflats are available for viewing exclusively online via the HDB InfoWEB, due to the pandemic situation. The physical My Nice Home Gallery at HDB Hub remains closed for the time-being, until further notice. Do stay tuned to HDB’s Facebook page for more details on the reopening.
