Public housing — A Singapore icon: Estate renewal. All HDB prices were based on construction prices. Circa ,Construction began for 4 new towns,this time located further away from the city centre:Bedok,Marine Parade completed in , Marsiling and Telok Blangah near Pasir Panjang.
HDB blocks built during this period comprised of big slab blocks of 12,13 or 16 stores,with 16 units per floor on average. Most blocks built during this period onwards have the 1st floor intentionally blank no units. This is commonly referred to as a void deck. Facilites aimed at fostering bonds and friendship,as well as small shops are typically found there.
The late s marked an increase in the quality of HDB flats. The size of HDB flats were increased,and even corridor units had the units built slightly off-ground for privacy.
All HDB flats from 3-room onwards have 2 bathrooms,one attached to Master Bedroom,as well as a small 2sqm storeroom. These type of flats are called New Generation NG for short. For some reason,very few blocks built during the late s are 13 stories or higher. Typically,these blocks are arranged in a rigid pattern and block corners may be bent to give a sense of enclousure,thus giving rise to variants of units.
These blocks are typically faced west-east to avoid sun,low-rise face North-south. Corridor units now are raised even higher,with bigger recess areas,and entrances shifted to the right side. Flats also became even bigger. Efforts were also made to give each estate its own unique block identity, through the useage of different colour schemes, elevational treatment and types of building materials used.
For example,Potong Pasir estate is well-known for its sloped blocks. In the late s HDB also built some cheaper pre-fabricated blocks with load-bearing walls. Commonly found in Bukit Gombak and Nanyang,they are typically flat and have a simple,brutualist facade harkening to the s. They are also plauged with ceiling leaks most of the time,and most walls must not be hacked. Resale value of these flats is thus fairly low.
In simplified flats were introduced as a cheaper alternative;as well as to replace NG flats;3-room 64sqm,4-room 84sqm.
Executive Apartments and Maisonettes were introduced sqm. In the line was refreshed with new designs and smaller facades,plus greater flat variations;4-room sqm and 5-room sqm. The Executive Apartments and Maisonettes were redesigned to have 4 bedrooms rather than 3 bedrooms plus utility rooms.
These were completed back in Search with English, Pinyin, or Chinese characters. Simply said, if you own a HDB and have already fully paid off all your loans, then when you get a loan for your private property, it will be considered as first housing loan. Can I buy a second HDB flat? Yes, you may purchase a second HDB flat.
