HDB BTO Feb 2024 Queenstown Review: 5 Minutes from Commonwealth MRT Station, in Tanglin Halt
Note: The HDB BTO February 2024 projects have been launched. Applications close on 28 February 2024, 11:59pm.
There have been many launches in Queenstown in recent BTO exercises, and the Tanglin Halt Courtyard Queenstown February 2024 BTO launch continues this trend with a new Queenstown site in the historic Tanglin Halt area, which is currently undergoing redevelopment.
Queenstown is a perennial favourite due to its location on the city fringe, offering easy access to the CBD via train or Commonwealth Avenue. What’s more, the Tanglin Halt Courtyard February 2024 Queenstown BTO project is highly attractive in terms of connectivity, being just a five-minute walk from Commonwealth MRT station.
A word of caution, however: the Tanglin Halt Courtyard Queenstown HDB BTO Feb 2024 flats fall under the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model, which imposes stricter rules such as longer Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and tighter rental conditions.
With only 251 2-room Flexi and 4-room flats up for grabs, this will be a highly exclusive project that may see many applicants vying for a small number of flats.

Apply for a BTO Flat (2024)
Before applying for a flat in any BTO project, you must first apply for an HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter. To apply for a BTO flat in the February BTO 2024 launch, you should make sure you have successfully been issued a valid HFE letter. HDB takes up to 21 working days to process applications but may face delays during busy periods such as BTO launch weeks.
Note that first-timer BTO applicants who reject a BTO offer will now be considered second-timer applicants for a whole year. If they go on to reject another BTO offer after a second BTO application, they will be barred from applying for BTO flats in the following year.
HDB scheme Family and Parenthood Priority Scheme (FPPS) has also replaced the Parenthood Priority Scheme (PPS). Under the new scheme, 40% of BTO flats in each sales exercise will be reserved for eligible people falling into a new subset of applicants, the First-Timer (Parents and Couples) category, or FT (PMC).
As an FT (PMC) applicant, if you are unsuccessful in two or more BTO applications in a non-mature estate, you will receive an additional chance in each subsequent BTO application. The rule was designed to assist applicants who have repeatedly failed to successfully apply for a BTO flat.
