Project Notes
Sembawang Anchor sits on a site at Admiralty Lane and Sembawang Drive. One of its six blocks will hold rental flats. It will have a pre-school, an eating house, a supermarket and shops, with a neighbourhood centre and park planned nearby.
Bayshore Oasis in Bedok is near Bayshore MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, across four blocks, one of which has rental flats. A second, larger Bayshore project of 1,640 units, next to it, is also in this exercise.
Plantation Dew is the first BTO project in Tengah’s Plantation neighbourhood since October 2023, a five to ten minute walk from two Jurong Region Line stations opening in stages between 2028 and 2029. It will offer open concept white flats without internal partition walls, the first time this option is available for five-room flats.
Shorter Waits, Higher Income Ceilings
With this exercise, 4,661 flats with waits of under three years will have been launched in 2026, meeting HDB’s target of more than 4,000. HDB has launched 9,351 shorter-wait flats since 2025, against a target of 12,000 by 2027. The November exercise is also the first under the higher income ceilings of S$16,000 for families and S$8,000 for singles. Four other projects will be offered in Bedok, Geylang, Toa Payoh and Yishun.
