Berlayar estate on former Keppel Club site to see 7,000 HDB flats; first BTO to launch in October

Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Singapore, believes the flats at Berlayar Residences are most likely to be categorized as Prime, given their area in a fully grown estate and distance to key central areas. He determines rates of four-room flats at Berlayar Residences can begin at approximately $500,000 to $550,000 before grants. “With the rise in aid clawback prices presented in the July 2025 BTO launch, we should expect a clawback price of around 11-12% on these upcoming flats,” he adds.

Several 20% of the site, or as much as 10ha, are going to be alloted for environment-friendly spaces. 4 green passages, varying from 30m to 60m wide, will weave with the estate, supplying leisure locations for citizens while additionally helping with environmental connection in between the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve. BTO plans in Berlayar will be created with staggered heights, with blocks oriented to provide more locals with scenic views of the Southern Ridges and the coast.

In a Sept 23 release, HDB states the increase in projected real estate adheres to detailed planning researches on the 48ha site. Consisting of private real estate, Berlayar is anticipated to yield about 10,000 new homes.

The very first Build-To-Order (BTO) plan at Berlayar will be introduced for purchase next month as part of the October 2025 BTO exercise. Berlayar Residences are going to supply 870 units of two-room flexi, three-room and four-room flats. There will also be 200 public rental flats.

He additionally anticipates two-room flexi flats at Berlayar Residence might confirm prominent amongst single applicants. “Because of its distinct place, that combines city-fringe comfort with a coastal sight, it could end up being a preferred option for singles, that may find the site matches their lifestyles.”

The all new Berlayar estate will watch around 7,000 HDB flats constructed in the coming years. This is greater than the 6,000 public housing units formerly announced for the estate, that is situated at the site of the previous Keppel Club.

According to HDB, the Berlayar estate is intended as an expansion of Bukit Merah community and marks the start of the change of the Greater Southern Waterfront. The estate’s name, which indicates “cruising” in Malay, pays tribute to the location’s spots and maritime heritage.

Furthermore, Berlayar will be a car-lite estate, with walking and cycling networks. Most homes are going to be within a 10-minute stroll from the Labrador Park and Telok Blangah MRT stations, claims HDB.

Lim predicts the apartments receiving a robust response, noting that BTO projects in Bukit Merah released in July, consisting of Prime project Alexandra Peaks, viewed a healthy application price. “We can anticipate this demand continuing in October, especially as unsuccessful applicants for Alexandra Peaks might attempt their good luck with one more Bukit Merah project.”
