Upcoming BTO 2027: Towns, Locations and Supply

There is no official HDB list of 2027 BTO projects. What exists is a supply target, a few named future sites, and the towns HDB has been feeding. This page splits those into confirmed figures versus inference, then maps the locations people keep asking about.



If you want the next launch you can actually apply for, that is still November 2026: about 7,960 flats across Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun. 2027 comes after that.

What HDB has actually confirmed



The 2025 to 2027 supply target is 55,000 BTO flats, raised from 50,000 after Chee Hong Tat took over MND. In January 2026 he said that if demand stays strong, he has asked HDB to go beyond 55,000. In May 2026 coverage he said HDB is likely to exceed that initial 55,000.



2025 launches: 19,723 flats (Straits Times).



2026 launches: about 19,600 across February, June and November. The last exercise of the year moved from October to November after NDR 2026. That includes more than 4,000 Shorter Waiting Time flats with waits under three years.



SWT path: HDB had a 12,000 SWT target for 2025 to 2027. Chee said another roughly 4,000 SWT flats in 2027, on top of about 4,000 in 2026. 2025 already ran a large SWT batch of about 4,690 in some HDB comments.



2-room Flexi: CNA on 24 June 2026, quoting Chee, put about 20,000 2-room Flexi flats from 2026 to 2028 for seniors and singles. COS 2026 remarks said Flexi supply would rise by almost 50% over 2026 to 2028. Those two statements describe the same policy. Use 20,000 as the number.



Income ceiling: from 24 August 2026, $16,000 for a family BTO / HFE application and $8,000 for eligible singles aged 35 and above. Chee said the higher ceiling is meant to keep about eight in ten citizen households eligible. New ECs: $18,000, only where the land-sale tender closes on or after 24 August 2026. See the NDR 2026 housing update.



How many flats in 2027?



If 2025 was 19,723 and 2026 is about 19,600, a straight 55,000 minus those two years implies about 15,700 flats in 2027. That is arithmetic, not an HDB pledge. The minister has already said 2027 supply can rise if demand holds, so treat 15,700 as a floor in a strong-demand scenario, not a cap. Do not write 2027 as 20,000-plus unless HDB publishes it.



Upcoming BTO 2027 locations



HDB has not gazetted 2027 towns. The table below is the location map we can defend: named future sites, plus towns that keep coming back. Launch year is locked only where the row says so.



LocationWhat is public2027?
Pearl's Hill, OutramFirst BTO there in over 40 years. About 1,700 2-room Flexi, 3-room and 4-room next to Outram Park MRT (EWL / NEL / TEL). Over 60 storeys. HDB: launch within the next few years. Almost certainly Prime.Not locked
Lakeview / Shunfu, BishanLakeview Cascadia is the first of three. Two more within two years. High ballot (4.7x in June 2026) will repeat.Likely 2026 to 2028
Toa Payoh West / Mount PleasantMore than 10,000 public and private homes over the next decade. Toa Payoh West @ Caldecott is the November 2026 piece. Mount Pleasant Crest launched October 2025.Further sites expected, year split unpublished
Bayshore, BedokSecond pair is November 2026 (2,500 flats) next to Bayshore MRT. URA / HDB's estate plan implies more rounds after that.More rounds after Nov 2026
Berlayar, Greater Southern WaterfrontAbout 7,000 HDB and 3,000 private homes on the former Keppel Club site. Only Berlayar Residences and Berlayar Rise are launched.More BTOs in the masterplan
TengahGrowth town. November 2026 is the first launch in about three years, so more Plantation / Garden / Park District sites are likely over 2027.Likely more volume
Woodlands / North CoastRegional Centre build-out. Standard family stock and Flexi both print demand. See Woodgrove Acres.Likely more volume
PunggolStill a volume town even when a given exercise skips it.Likely more volume
Yishun / Canberra / ChencharuFifth Chencharu project is November 2026. The precinct is not finished.Likely more in the precinct
Jurong West / East, Jurong Lake DistrictLong-running western supply.Likely more volume
Bukit Batok / Choa Chu KangBrickland and rail-corridor sites have been in the rotation.Likely more volume
Sembawang NorthJune 2026 already put Sembawang Portico and Sembawang Brook there. November adds about 1,310 more.A further drop is estate logic, not a dated announcement


Towns that keep coming back



Not a 2027 gazette. Just the towns HDB has been feeding: Tengah, Woodlands / North Coast, Punggol, Yishun / Canberra / Chencharu, Jurong West / East and Jurong Lake District, Bukit Batok / Choa Chu Kang. If you are planning a 2027 ballot, pick a Standard town from that list as a backup even if you are hunting Prime at Pearl's Hill or the next Lakeview.



How to prepare



Get the HFE letter early. Peak processing is a month or more. For the November 2026 exercise, HDB asked for supporting documents by 25 September 2026.



Know the ceiling. $16,000 family / $8,000 Flexi single from 24 August 2026. First-timer extra ballot per child starts February 2027, not the November 2026 launch.



Decide Prime versus Standard now. June showed Prime can absorb 65% of applicants while SWT Standard in Sembawang prints below 1x for first-timer families. 2027 will not repeal that behaviour.



If you need keys fast, track SWT (under 3 years) and leftover Standard, not Pearl's Hill. If you can wait for city-fringe, watch Pearl's Hill, more Lakeview, more Berlayar, more Bayshore, and budget for a 10-year MOP plus clawback.



Singles and seniors: the 20,000 Flexi commitment is the volume signal. Apply where Flexi supply is fat, Bayshore-style, rather than where singles already hit 18x at Woodgrove.
