The Government will also raise the supply of private housing via the Government Land Sales programme, which releases state land for development, National Development Minister Desmond Lee announced on Thursday .
Next year, BTO flats would be launched across mature and non-mature towns, such as Bukit Merah, Jurong West, Kallang Whampoa, Queenstown, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun. The demand is being driven by a number of factors including more marriages as the larger cohorts of those born in the late 1980s to 1990s reach marriageable age as well as by the growing trend of smaller households.
