The very first Build-To-Order (BTO) project at Berlayar will be released for sale next month as section of the October 2025 BTO exercise. Berlayar Residences are going to present 870 units of two-room flexi, three-room and four-room apartments. There will additionally be 200 public rental flats.
Several 20% of the site, or up to 10ha, are going to be reserved for green spaces. Four green hallways, varying from 30m to 60m wide, will weave via the estate, providing recreational locations for homeowners while also assisting in eco-friendly connection between the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve. BTO projects in Berlayar are going to be designed with staggered heights, with blocks oriented to provide even more locals with panoramas of the Southern Ridges and the shore.
In a Sept 23 release, HDB says the surge in projected real estate adheres to comprehensive preparation researches on the 48ha site. Consisting of private housing, Berlayar is anticipated to generate about 10,000 new homes.
