Close to 8 in 10 BTO flats have waiting times of less than 4 years

HDB launched a total of 9,012 flats for sale today, under the February 2026 Build-To-Order (BTO) and Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercises, offering homebuyers a wide range of housing options to meet different housing needs. This includes:

4,692 BTO flats offered across six projects in Bukit Merah, Sembawang, Tampines and Toa Payoh; and
4,320 balance flats, located islandwide, under the concurrent SBF exercise.

2 The flats offered in the February sales exercises provide homebuyers the option of earlier access to their homes with the choice of either BTOs or SBF flats. About 8 in 10 BTO flats on offer have waiting times of less than 4 years, while close to 1 in 5 SBF units have already been completed.

Wide Selection of Affordable Flats for Different Budgets and Needs

3 A wide selection of flats, ranging from 2-room Flexi to 5-room BTO flats, is available to cater to the diverse housing needs and budgets of Singaporeans. Of the six projects on offer, three are Standard projects in Sembawang and Tampines, two are Plus projects in Tampines and Toa Payoh, while the remaining is a Prime project in Bukit Merah. See Table 1 for the projects and their classification.

Table 1: Classification of BTO Projects on Offer in February 2026 BTO Exercise

Classification	Project	Town
Standard Projects	Sembawang Voyage	Sembawang
	Sembawang Deck	Sembawang
	Tampines Bliss	Tampines
Plus Projects	Tampines Nova	Tampines
Plus Projects	Kim Keat Crest	Toa Payoh
Prime Project	Redhill Peaks¹	Bukit Merah

Additional Subsidies for Plus and Prime Flats

4 All new flats are priced with significant market discounts, via government subsidies, to ensure affordability for our home buyers. On top of these market discounts, Plus and Prime flats, which command higher market values due to their more favourable locational attributes, also receive additional subsidies to ensure that they remain affordable, accessible and inclusive for a wider group of home buyers.

5 To maintain fairness for all BTO flat owners, Plus and Prime flats come with additional restrictions, including a subsidy recovery upon resale. At the point of selling the flat after meeting the 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), owners of Plus and Prime flats will be required to pay HDB a percentage of the resale or valuation price (whichever is higher) of the flat. The subsidy recovery rates commensurate with the extent of the additional subsidies provided for the respective projects. See Table 2 for the subsidy recovery rates of the projects.

Classification	Project	Subsidy Recovery Percentage

From the February 2026 BTO sales exercise, FT families emplaced on the scheme will be able to buy a 2-room Flexi or 3-room Standard flat on a shorter lease, which will be more affordable compared to those on 99-year leases, and receive the EHG of up to $120,000.

Advice for Flat Buyers

10 Applicants who wish to participate in the February 2026 BTO and SBF exercises must have a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter³ when they submit their flat application. HDB had earlier announced that potential flat applicants should apply for an HFE letter and submit all required documents by 15 December 2025, to ensure that they can obtain their HFE letters on time to participate in the February 2026 sales exercises.

11 While HDB continues to process HFE letter applications, priority will be given to those who submitted all required documents by 15 December 2025. During the sales application period from 4 to 11 February 2026, the 'Apply for HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) Letter' e-Service will be temporarily unavailable, to enable HDB to prioritise our resources to support the sales exercises. Flat buyers with a valid HFE letter, or those who have already submitted an HFE letter application, will not be affected as processing will continue during this period. The ‘Apply for HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) Letter’ e-Service will resume on 12 February 2026. More information on the HFE letter is available on the HDB InfoWEB.

12 Applicants are encouraged to plan their finances carefully and select a suitable flat based on their budget and needs. Flat buyers should also take into consideration the current Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit of 75% for HDB housing loans.

13 Flat applicants may apply for one flat type in one town during the 8-day application period. Applicants who wish to improve their chances of securing a flat should monitor the application rates of the different HDB projects throughout the sales exercise and consider applying to projects with lower application rates, such as those with an application rate of 1 or below. Information on application rates of projects is available on the HDB Flat Portal and is updated several times daily throughout the application window.

Applications Open from 4 to 11 February 2026

14 Flat applications can be made online via HDB Flat Portal from today (4 February 2026) to 11 February 2026. There is no need to visit HDB Hub to submit an application. HDB will shortlist applicants using a computer ballot, and not on a first-come-first-served basis. Therefore, applicants do not need to rush to submit applications. They can submit their applications any time during the 8-day launch period. More details on the application procedures can be found in Annex B.

15 All the information on the flats offered is available on the HDB Flat Portal or through scanning the QR code below.

Next BTO Exercise in June 2026

17 In the next BTO exercise to be held in June 2026, HDB will offer about 6,900 flats in Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Sembawang and Woodlands. Interested flat applicants must have a valid HFE letter to apply for a flat during the exercise. We encourage all flat buyers to apply for an HFE letter early and submit all required documents by 15 May 2026, if they wish to participate in the June 2026 sales exercise. More details on the projects, including their classification, will be shared during the June 2026 sales exercise.

18 HDB will launch about 19,600 BTO flats in 2026. We will continue to monitor the housing demand closely, and are prepared to offer more than 55,000 flats from 2025 to 2027, if necessary.

¹Redhill Peaks comprises a total of 2,073 units across two separate land parcels. As the second land parcel required more time for site preparation compared to the first, HDB launched them separately to avoid extending the waiting times for flat buyers. The first 1,021 units were launched in the October 2025 BTO exercise, while the remaining 1,052 units are on offer in the February 2026 BTO exercise.

²The extension of the Fresh Start Housing Scheme to FT families with children staying in public rental flats was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in his Budget 2025 speech.

³ The HFE letter will inform flat buyers upfront of their eligibility for a new or resale flat purchase, CPF housing grants, and HDB housing loan, including the respective grant and loan amounts.
