HDB said on 1 Nov 2026 that three projects in the November 2026 BTO exercise have waits of around three years or less: Sembawang Anchor (1,310 flats, 2 years 10 months), Bayshore Oasis (855, 3 years 2 months) and Plantation Dew (710, 3 years 2 months), 2,875 flats in all. HDB's release gives no prices and no sales date.
Which projects have waits of around three years or less?
HDB's 1 Nov 2026 release names three projects. Together they are 2,875 flats with waits of around three years or less, which HDB describes as more than a third of the approximately 7,960 flats in the exercise. The sum checks out: 1,310 + 855 + 710 = 2,875, and 2,875 divided by 7,960 is about 36% (our arithmetic).
| Project | Area | Flats | Flat types | Waiting time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sembawang Anchor | Sembawang North, Sembawang | 1,310 | 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room, 5-room | 2 years 10 months |
| Bayshore Oasis | Bayshore, Bedok | 855 | 2-room Flexi, 4-room | 3 years 2 months |
| Plantation Dew | Plantation District, Tengah | 710 | 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room, 5-room, 3Gen | 3 years 2 months |
As at 2 Nov 2026, from HDB's 1 Nov 2026 release.
What is Sembawang Anchor, the shorter waiting time project?
HDB calls Sembawang Anchor's 1,310 flats shorter waiting time (SWT) flats, with a wait under three years.
- It sits in the new Sembawang North housing area, bounded by Admiralty Lane and Sembawang Drive.
- There are six residential blocks, including an integrated block with both sold and rental flats.
- The project itself has a preschool, an eating house, a supermarket and shops.
- HDB says a new neighbourhood centre and an adjacent one-hectare park are planned nearby. It also lists Sembawang Mart, Sun Plaza and Bukit Canberra (hawker centre, polyclinic, indoor sports hall, ActiveSG gym and swimming pool) in the surrounding area.
What is Bayshore Oasis?
- It is in the new Bayshore estate in Bedok, bounded by Bayshore Drive and Bayshore Walk.
- There are four residential blocks, including an integrated block with sold and rental flats.
- The project has a preschool, a minimart and shops. A park is proposed next to it, and HDB points to East Coast Park through walking and cycling paths.
- For transport HDB names bus services and the Thomson-East Coast Line, including Bayshore MRT and the upcoming Bedok South MRT.
What is Plantation Dew, and what is a White Flat?
- It is in Tengah's Plantation District, bounded by Tengah Garden Avenue, Plantation Walk and a future park. There are five residential blocks, with sold and rental flats.
- The project has an eating house, a minimart, shops and a preschool. HDB says a future park will be next door and the upcoming JE2 station on the Jurong Region Line will be within walking distance.
- HDB says it is the third BTO project with White Flats, after Crawford Heights and Mount Pleasant Crest. The White Flat option now covers 5-room for the first time, alongside 3-room and 4-room.
- HDB describes White Flats as open-concept, with no internal partition walls between the living and bedroom spaces.
How does Sembawang Anchor fit HDB's shorter waiting time numbers?
HDB says the Sembawang Anchor flats take the shorter waiting time (SWT) total launched in 2026 to 4,661, beyond its commitment of more than 4,000. Including November, HDB says close to one in four BTO flats launched in 2026 are SWT. HDB's release does not say whether Bayshore Oasis or Plantation Dew are counted in these totals.
| Period | SWT flats launched |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 4,690 |
| 2026, with the November exercise | 4,661 |
| 2025 and 2026 together | 9,351 |
| HDB target, 2025 to 2027 | 12,000 |
