Why Holland Vista BTO is a great opportunity
1. Holland Vista BTO is a PLH flat
Holland Vista falls under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model, which means the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 10 years. While this is double the typical MOP of 5 years, flats will benefit from additional subsidies on top of the substantial market discounts already applied to all BTO flats. This ensures that flats remain affordable despite being in a prime location. As a result, the flats are priced significantly lower than comparable resale flats in the area.
2. As a PLH flat, you get substantial financial benefits
The PLH flats in Holland Vista BTO will come with additional subsidies, making them even more affordable. The subsidy recovery rate for these flats is set at 9%, which means that owners will need to return 9% of the resale price or valuation upon selling their flats.
3. 20% of BTO flats offered in Holland Vista BTO are set aside for 1st timer families
To support family formations, 20% of the flats in Holland Vista BTO will be set aside for first-timer families, and 2% for second-timer families under the Married Child Priority Scheme. This special allocation ensures that young families have a better chance of securing a flat in this prime location.
What’s so special about Queenstown?
The location of Holland Vista BTO in Queenstown offers numerous benefits:
- Accessibility: Excellent connectivity via public transport and major roads, including the Queenstown MRT station, which is just a short walk away.
- Amenities: Proximity to shopping malls, such as Anchorpoint and IKEA Alexandra, as well as healthcare facilities like Alexandra Hospital and Queenstown Polytechnic.
- Schools: There are nearby reputable schools such as Queenstown Primary School, New Town Primary School, and the National University of Singapore (NUS).
The application process for Holland Vista BTO
Applications for the June 2024 BTO exercise can be made online via the HDB Flat Portal from 19 June 2024 to 26 June 2024. Prospective buyers are encouraged to plan their finances carefully, considering renovation costs and other expenses, and select a flat that fits their budget and needs.
To improve the chances of securing a flat, applicants are advised to consider non-mature towns like Jurong East, Woodlands, and Yishun, where the supply is higher. Here’s a look at the application rates from the previous BTO launches in Queenstown.

When should you consider a resale HDB flat?
- If you require immediate housing and cannot wait for the BTO flat construction period, resale flats are available for immediate move-in.
- If you want to relocate to a more established neighbourhood, resale HDB flats are often located in mature estates with well-developed amenities and infrastructure, providing a settled community feel.
- If you have specific requirements such as a particular floor plan or location that is not available in the current BTO exercise, resale flats offer a wider variety of choices.
- If you want to have more options, there is greater variety in the resale HDB market in terms of flat size, layout, and location, giving you more options to choose from.
