A closer look at the October 2025 BTO launch
Come October, around 9,100 new flats will be launched across eight different towns. Two of these towns, Mount Pleasant and the Greater Southern Waterfront (GSW), are brand-new additions to the HDB map. This will mark the first-ever BTO projects in both areas.
The other launch locations include Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bishan, Jurong East, Sengkang, and Yishun. With such a wide spread, you’re more likely to find a location that fits your needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re hoping for central convenience or a quieter heartland vibe, there’s something for everyone in the HDB BTO launch October.

Community Care Apartments return in October
Seniors, take note – October’s launch will also include the fifth batch of Community Care Apartments. These flats are designed to provide independent living with access to care services when needed. They’ll be available in Sengkang, so if you’re planning ahead for your retirement, this is an option worth exploring.
Mount Pleasant BTO: A first for the estate
If you’ve been eyeing central locations, the Mount Pleasant BTO project might catch your attention. Located near Thomson Road and the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), this project is nestled right between Toa Payoh and MacRitchie Reservoir.
But it’s not just the central location that makes it attractive. You’ll get easy access to Mount Pleasant MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which will open alongside the project. That means your daily commute could be much smoother. There will also be a supermarket and eating house built into the estate.
Families will appreciate the nearby schools too. You’ll be close to Raffles Girls’ School, Raffles Institution, CHIJ (Primary and Secondary), and SJI International. All these make the HDB flats Mount Pleasant especially ideal for those of you with children.
Greater Southern Waterfront BTO: City living by the sea
The other new entrant is the Greater Southern Waterfront BTO at Bukit Merah. This site was formerly part of Keppel Club’s golf course, and it’s just a short walk from Telok Blangah MRT.
Flats here will come in 2-, 3-, and 4-room configurations, making them suitable for both singles and families. You’ll be right next to Labrador Nature Park, Mount Faber Park, and within easy reach of Vivocity and HarbourFront.
It’s also worth noting that this is the first HDB project in the area. Until now, you could only find private condos here. With its potential sea views and close proximity to the city centre, demand for these GSW HDB flats is expected to be extremely strong.
What property experts are saying
According to market watchers, this launch has an “attractive spread” that will likely appeal to a wide range of buyers.
The Mount Pleasant BTO may benefit from strong demand due to its central location and good resale prospects. Similarly, the Greater Southern Waterfront BTO is expected to be one of the most sought-after projects, thanks to its unique location and potential for high-value appreciation.
Even the Bishan BTO project has drawn attention – it’s well-located and close to future job hubs, which could be a huge plus for working couples.
Spotlight on Bishan’s BTO launch
If you’re familiar with Guangyang Primary School, that’s where the Bishan BTO project will be located. You’ll be just a short walk from Bishan MRT, an interchange station for both the North-South Line and Circle Line.
Amenities like Junction 8, local eateries, and supermarkets are nearby too. Plus, there are long-term plans to develop the area into a new employment node, which could increase the value of your flat over time.
HDB’s commitment to housing diversity
This upcoming launch shows that HDB BTO 2025 is all about offering a wider variety of choices to match different budgets and needs. While more details about flat types and classifications, like Prime flats October 2025, will only be revealed in October, you can expect a mix of Standard, Plus, and Prime projects.
A word of caution for buyers
Even with the excitement surrounding the new HDB towns 2025, don’t forget to consider your financial situation. Singapore’s economy is expected to grow at a slower pace in 2025, partly due to global trade issues and cooling labour demand.
So, before you commit to any of the HDB BTO launch October projects, make sure to plan your finances carefully. HDB continues to remind households to stay prudent when taking on mortgage loans, especially in times of uncertainty.
