HDB BTO launch in May 2018
Kim Keat Beacon along Kim Keat Avenue is the latest HDB BTO project to launch in Toa Payoh. Being a mature estate, there are rarely any new flats being built in the area. This means that buyers will benefit from living in a central location and enjoy more affordable prices.
Located near Toa Payoh MRT station on the North-South line and sports facilities like swimming pools and an ActiveSG gym, prices at Kim Keat Beacon start from $245,000 for a 3-room flat, excluding housing grants.
