Written answer by Ministry of National Development on Factors Affecting Percentage of Rental Units in Each Plus and Prime HDB BTO Development
Mar 4, 2025
Question by: Mr Pritam Singh
To ask the Minister for National Development (a) what percentage of Plus and Prime BTO developments comprise rental units, on average; and (b) how does HDB determine the number of rental units for each Plus or Prime development.
Since the new flat classification framework was implemented in October 2024, four in ten of the Plus and Prime BTO projects launched included public rental flats. These rental flats comprise five per cent of all flats across the ten projects.
HDB builds rental flats in these projects to ensure that our neighbourhoods continue to have a good social mix and remain inclusive. In determining whether and how many rental flats to build in a given project, HDB looks at several factors, including the projected demand and supply of rental flats, and the geographical spread of rental flats across the island.
