HDB Flat Prices Will Remain Affordable In Prime Locations, Says Gov’t

An instance of apartments in prime locations are those ready to be constructed in the Greater Southern Beachfront (GSW).
According to Lee, the government intends to develop a range of housing key ins upcoming estates within prime areas to guarantee that they have a great mix of Singaporeans.
These include rental housing for low-income households and also smaller sized housing kinds like two-room flats for senior citizens.

He pointed to the problem of “inclusiveness and also variety” once such apartments are enabled to be resold complying with the five-year minimum line of work duration.
” If it’s going to be marketed and also negotiated at high resale costs, then there is a danger that only prosperous Singaporeans can get (flats in) those estates. And then certainly, the character of the estates will alter as well as it might be valued beyond the reach of average Singaporeans,” stated Lee.

“People will, obviously, pay what they believe the market can bear in order to get these very good flats as well as great areas. So several of these steps would certainly need to cover all these fronts,” he added.
Lee revealed that HDB will seek public comments and also ideas via involvement sessions in the following couple of months.
“We will certainly intend to make certain that these public discussions are held, people’s views are gotten and then we can develop a version that we could potentially use in the near term,” he said.
