Before we begin, it is important to remember that HDB releases BTO sales launches four times a year in February, May, August and November. This means you have four chances a year to apply for an HDB BTO flat.

How Long is the Waiting Time for BTO?

And if you were wondering, HDB has stated that the ‘average waiting time of a BTO project is about four to five years.

Is There a Maximum Income for BTO?

One more thing.

Lastly, we have the Tengah Brickland Weave with 1,641 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room flats.

The Tengah estate and neighbourhood are located within the West Region of Singapore.

Source: HDB

From Tengah, you will find Choa Chu Kang to the Northeast, Jurong East and Jurong West to the South, Bukit Batok to the East and the Western Water Catchment to the west and north.

The current name is taken from the old maps, where the area was named Teneh or Tengah, which means centre, central or middle in Malay.

Back then, when Singapore was a mere fishing village, Tengah was filled with farms, villages and plantations. It was later converted to a restricted military training area.

The neighbourhood has since been set aside for future housing developments, making it the newest HDB town after Punggol.

If you want to learn more about Tengah, check out our Tengah Neighbourhood guide.

As for the February 2023 BTO Tengah site, the nearest MRT is Choa Chu Kang West which is a 15-minute walk away. Currently, there aren’t many amenities nearby as the closest shopping centre is Keat Hong Shopping Centre. But, you’ll see more amenities when the place is built up.

If you are a motorist, the KJE and PIE are nearby.

Parents or parents-to-be can also look forward to sending their kids to:

  • Choa Chu Kang Primary School
  • Concord Primary School
  • Dunearn Secondary School
  • St Anthony’s Primary School.
