Berlayar estate on former Keppel Club site to see 7,000 HDB flats; first BTO to launch in October
The initial Build-To-Order (BTO) venture 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 apartments. There will also be 200 public rental flats.
Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Singapore, believes the apartments at Berlayar Residences are most likely to be identified as Prime, given their area in a fully grown estate and distance to key central areas. He estimates prices of four-room flats at Berlayar Residences could start at approximately $500,000 to $550,000 before grants. “With the increase in subsidy clawback rates presented in the July 2025 BTO launch, we ought to anticipate a clawback price of approximately 11-12% on these upcoming flats,” he adds.
Additionally, Berlayar will be a car-lite property, with walking and cycling networks. A lot of homes will be inside a 10-minute walk from the Labrador Park and Telok Blangah MRT stations, says HDB.
In a Sept 23 release, HDB says the increase in planned real estate complies with comprehensive planning researches on the 48ha site. Consisting of private housing, Berlayar is expected to generate about 10,000 brand-new homes.
Lim foresees the flats obtaining a robust response, noting that BTO projects in Bukit Merah released in July, including Prime project Alexandra Peaks, observed a healthy application price. “We can anticipate this request proceeding in October, especially as not successful applicants for Alexandra Peaks may attempt their luck with an additional Bukit Merah project.”

He likewise anticipates two-room flexi flats at Berlayar Residence could confirm prominent among single applicants. “Because of its unique area, which incorporates city-fringe convenience with a seaside sight, it could come to be a prominent choice for singles, who may find the location fits their way of livings.”
The new Berlayar estate will discover about 7,000 HDB flats built in the coming years. This is higher than the 6,000 housing project units previously released for the estate, which is located at the site of the former Keppel Club.
According to HDB, the Berlayar estate is intended as an extension of Bukit Merah community and marks the start of the improvement of the Greater Southern Waterfront. The estate’s label, which signifies “sailing” in Malay, commemorates the location’s landmarks and maritime heritage.
Several 20% of the site, or as much as 10ha, will be reserved for environment-friendly areas. Four green passages, varying from 30m to 60m wide, will weave via the estate, offering recreational areas for locals while also facilitating environmental connectivity between the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve. BTO projects in Berlayar are going to be created with staggered heights, with blocks oriented to provide more locals with panoramas of the Southern Ridges and the shore.
