Sembawang Anchor: 1,310 Shorter Waiting Time flats

The November 2026 BTO launch is now in its final application stretch. HDB opened 7,964 flats across seven projects in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun, and applications close on Wednesday, 11 November 2026 at 11.59pm.

If you are still deciding where to apply, the useful comparison is no longer simply “which launch is coming”. All seven projects, classifications and official starting prices are now published. The remaining job is to compare location, flat type, wait time, subsidy-recovery conditions and your own HFE budget before the deadline.

At a glance

Key Takeaways

  • HDB is offering 7,964 flats across seven November 2026 BTO projects; applications close at 11.59pm on 11 November.
  • Sembawang Anchor, Plantation Dew and Chencharu Acres are Standard projects; Bayshore Sails, Bayshore Oasis and Merpati Meadow are Plus; Toa Payoh Hillside is Prime.
  • Sembawang Anchor has 1,310 Shorter Waiting Time flats, while Plantation Dew includes White Flat options for 3-room, 4-room and 5-room units.
  • The exercise is not first-come-first-served. HDB uses a computer ballot, so applicants should compare live application rates rather than rush a submission.

When is the November 2026 BTO application deadline?

Applications close on 11 November 2026 at 11.59pm. HDB states that applicants can submit through the HDB Flat Portal at any point during the eight-day application window because successful applicants are shortlisted by computer ballot, not by submission order.

You need a valid HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter, or to have already submitted an HFE application that HDB is processing. HDB has temporarily paused new HFE applications from 4 to 11 November so resources can be prioritised for the sales exercise; the HFE application e-service resumes on 12 November.

Toa PayohToa Payoh HillsidePrimeCCA, 2-room Flexi, 4-room

The classifications matter because Plus and Prime projects receive additional subsidies and come with stricter resale conditions. HDB lists subsidy recovery at 8% for Merpati Meadow, 9% for Bayshore Sails and Bayshore Oasis, and 11% for Toa Payoh Hillside. These projects also come with the 10-year Minimum Occupation Period framework that applies to Plus and Prime flats.

November 2026 BTO starting prices before grants

HDB publishes prices by flat type, so the cheapest headline price is not directly comparable across projects. The table below focuses on common family flat types and notable entry prices.

Project3-room from4-room from5-room / 3Gen from
Sembawang AnchorS$274,000S$312,000S$479,000
Plantation DewS$266,000S$339,000S$494,000 / 3Gen S$551,000

Merpati Meadow—S$545,000—
Toa Payoh Hillside—S$558,000—

HDB also shows illustrative prices after Enhanced CPF Housing Grant amounts, but the actual grant depends on household income and eligibility. Treat the “after grant” examples as illustrations rather than a guaranteed purchase price for your household.

Why Sembawang Anchor stands out for waiting time

Sembawang Anchor is the clearest option for buyers who prioritise moving in sooner. HDB is offering 1,310 Shorter Waiting Time flats there, with a waiting time of less than three years. The project spans 2-room Flexi through 5-room units, making it relevant to singles, couples and larger households.

Shorter waiting time does not automatically make it the best application. Compare the town, transport plans, unit type and demand within your applicant category. HDB updates application numbers at 8am, 12pm and 5pm during the exercise, with a final count scheduled after applications close.

Bayshore Sails and Bayshore Oasis: what the Plus classification means

The two Bedok projects are both Plus developments. They have higher official starting prices than the Standard projects, but their east-side location and future Bayshore precinct are likely to be the main draw for applicants considering them.

Both projects carry a 9% subsidy recovery rate if the flat is later sold after the Minimum Occupation Period, based on the resale price or valuation as specified by HDB. Buyers should therefore compare the location benefit against the longer commitment and resale restrictions rather than judging the projects only on launch price.

Plantation Dew and the expanded White Flat option

Plantation Dew offers one of the widest flat-type mixes in the launch, including 3Gen flats. It is also the third project to offer White Flats, and the November exercise extends the option to 5-room flats for the first time.

White Flats are delivered without internal partition walls between the living and bedroom areas, giving buyers more flexibility to configure their own layout. HDB says White Flat prices are lower than the default layout by S$6,000 for 3-room units, S$8,600 for 4-room units and S$9,000 for 5-room units because certain walls and electrical points are not provided.

Toa Payoh Hillside: Prime flats and Community Care Apartments

Toa Payoh Hillside is the launch's Prime project and includes 4-room flats, 2-room Flexi flats and 256 Community Care Apartments. This is the first CCA project launched since the eligibility age was lowered from 65 to 55.

Its central location will be attractive to some households, but Prime restrictions should be treated as part of the purchase decision. The official subsidy recovery percentage is 11%, and the Prime framework comes with a longer Minimum Occupation Period than Standard projects.

How to use the live application rates before choosing

HDB explicitly encourages applicants who are flexible about location to monitor application rates and consider projects or flat types with lower demand. Application numbers are updated several times daily during the exercise.

Do not compare the headline project rate alone. Your chances depend on factors such as applicant category, flat type and quota. A project can look heavily subscribed overall while a specific flat type or category is less competitive. Use the HDB application-rate page as a decision aid, not as a guarantee of a ballot number.

What to check before you submit your BTO application

  • Confirm your HFE letter status and the budget shown in it.
  • Choose one flat type in one town; that is the application format for this exercise.
  • Compare Standard, Plus and Prime conditions, especially MOP and subsidy recovery.
  • Check waiting time if your household has a move-in deadline.
  • Review the latest application rates before the 11.59pm deadline on 11 November.
  • Do not rush simply to apply earlier — allocation is by computer ballot, not first-come-first-served.
