The details of the HDB BTO May 2022 launch have been released! And this time, we have many projects located in some of Singapore’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, including Bukit Merah, Queenstown and Toa Payoh.
A total of 4,583 BTO flats will be available in HDB towns/estates such as Bukit Merah, Jurong West, Queenstown, Toa Payoh and Yishun. Additionally, in August 2022, HDB will offer about 6,300 to 6,800 BTO flats in towns/estates such as Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Merah, Choa Chu Kang, Jurong East, Queenstown and Woodlands. This figure is subject to change as additional project information becomes available, nearer to the launch date.
If you would like to know more about the upcoming HDB BTO units, visit the HDB InfoWEB. HDB will continue to monitor the housing demand and make necessary adjustments to its plans.
In other news, HDB, Sport Singapore and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) have announced that about 1,660 HDB BTO flats will be launched in Farrer Park within the next three years. The HDB project will have integrated sports and recreational facilities. With the site’s desirable location and amazing connectivity to multiple MRT lines, we bet this project is something everyone’s going to look out for in the coming years.
Now, let’s see what’s up for grabs in this May 2022 HDB BTO exercise!

In this May 2022 HDB BTO launch, there are launches in three highly sought-after mature towns — Bukit Merah, Queenstown and Toa Payoh.
As usual, competition is expected to be fierce for mature estate launches. The BTO projects in Bukit Merah and Queenstown are launched under the Prime Location Housing (PLH) model. On the other hand, Jurong West and Yishun are two non-mature estates which are relatively established and have a plethora of amenities.
All the launches are located within easy walking distance of MRT stations that connect directly to the CBD without the need to change trains, making them potentially more attractive for those who work in the city.
If the May 2022 BTO launches aren’t your cup of tea, maybe you’ll be more interested in the 6,000 HDB BTO flats that will be built on the existing Keppel Club site. These flats are slated for launch in the next three years. As of now, HDB has not confirmed whether the PLH model will be applied to the flats on the Keppel Club site.

Located a stone’s throw from Jurong Lake Gardens, the Jurong West May 2022 HDB BTO project is at the intersection of Yuan Ching Road and Kang Ching Road, which looks set to benefit from the development of the scenic Jurong Lake District.
The Government intends to expand transport networks and the number of homes and jobs in the area over the next decade, boosting the investment potential of flats in the vicinity.
Lakeside View is about 8 minutes’ walk from Lakeside MRT station, which connects directly to Raffles Place MRT station and is just two stops away from Jurong East, which is now a major commercial district thanks to the presence of malls such as Jem, Westgate and Jcube.
Families with kids can choose from numerous schools located within walking distance, including Yuan Ching Secondary School and Lakeside Primary School, just to mention a few.
With a total of 1,016 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room flats up for grabs, the Lakeside View Jurong West May 2022 HDB BTO launch is a relatively big one that could see demand from a variety of household sizes.

Kim Keat Heights Toa Payoh May 2022 HDB BTO Map
Located at the intersection of Lorong 6 Toa Payoh and Lorong 7 Toa Payoh, the May 2022 Toa Payoh HDB BTO project is located about 12 minutes’ walk from Braddell MRT station, which connects directly to Raffles Place MRT station in 19 minutes.
Unlike the other projects, Kim Keat Heights is not that near to an MRT station. However, Toa Payoh is generally well-serviced by buses. As seen from the map, there are also many amenities surrounding the Kim Keat Heights flats.
Future residents will enjoy close proximity to a number of markets and food centres with a variety of popular eateries, as well as three community clubs.
The Toa Payoh May 2022 HDB BTO launch is expected to be in high demand due to its prime location in a popular mature estate. Although there is a selection of 2-room Flexi, 3-room and 4-room flats up for grabs, the Kim Keat Heights launch consists of only 385 units, so competition will be stiff.

Conclusion: Which May 2022 BTO Flat Should I Pick?
Affordability
The HDB BTO 2022 launches in mature estates Bukit Merah, Queenstown and Toa Payoh are likely to be heavily oversubscribed and command high prices due to their prime locations. Those who prioritise location and have a generous budget can consider balloting for these flats but must be prepared for stiff competition.
For those on a tighter budget, the Yishun and Jurong West May 2022 BTO flats are good choices, with the Jurong West Lakeside View BTO flats being the most affordably priced. However, both these launches still offer a decent level of convenience due to their proximity to MRT stations which connect directly to the CBD. In addition, the Jurong West flats are likely to have good investment potential due to the development of the Jurong Lake District. We say the Yishun Beacon flats offer a good compromise between price and convenience.
Convenience
All the launches offer good connectivity and are within reasonable walking distance of MRT lines leading directly to the CBD without the need for line changes.
The Bukit Merah Ridge launch provides the most central location and the best connectivity, with a commute to the CBD taking less than 15 minutes. The Ghim Moh Ascent Queenstown and Kim Keat Heights Toa Payoh launches are also located in highly desirable neighbourhoods with fuss-free connectivity to the CBD.
Popularity
The Bukit Merah May 2022 HDB BTO launch is likely to be the most sought-after of the lot due to its central location, with the Queenstown and Toa Payoh launches also enjoying high demand, thanks to their sites being in popular neighbourhoods.
The Jurong West launch is also likely to be popular as it offers an attractive location in an up-and-coming neighbourhood.
