If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Housing and Development Board’s (HDB) announcements, you’ll already know that 2023 has been a year of unprecedented real estate growth and opportunity. From upcoming neighbourhood upgrades to larger cycling paths and new BTO flat classifications aimed at enhancing housing affordability, there’s been a whirlwind of exciting news. Today, we’re exploring details on the HDB BTO flats launched in 2023.
HDB BTO flats to launch for 2023 – Here’s the lowdown:
In the approaching Build-To-Order (BTO) sales launch scheduled for October 2023, HDB plans to offer approximately 6,800 flats in coveted locations like Choa Chu Kang, Kallang Whampoa, Queenstown, and Tengah town/estate.
What’s more, this launch takes into account the ballot results for the May BTO and Sales of Balance Flats exercise, ensuring a fair chance for all applicants.
So, what’s different this time around?
Well, new First-Timer (Parents & Married Couples) applicants – or FT(PMC) can expect an extra ballot chance and higher priority in BTO/ Sale of Balance flat (SBF) exercises. This presents young families and newlyweds the opportunity to embark on their homeownership journey with added advantages and ease.
However, it’s important to note that rejecting a chance to book a flat now incurs a penalty. To ensure eligibility, prospective homeowners will also need an HFE (HDB Flat Eligibility) letter before they can apply for a flat.

In December, HDB plans to launch about 6,000 flats in prime locations including Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Woodlands, Bedok, Bishan, Bukit Merah, and Queenstown. Imagine the possibilities that these diverse neighbourhoods hold for prospective homeowners!
While these numbers are subject to review as more project details emerge closer to the launch date, rest assured that we’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
