Number of Public Rental Housing Units to be Built

26 Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for National Development (a) for each year in the next five years, how many public rental housing units will be built; and (b) how many and what percentage of these will be in (i) integrated blocks and (ii) dedicated public rental housing blocks.

Mr Desmond Lee: About 900 public rental flats are currently under construction and will be completed in the next five years.

About one-third will be in integrated blocks with both sold and rental flats, while the remaining will be in dedicated public rental blocks. We will continue building rental flats in integrated blocks where possible, across Standard, Plus and Prime projects, to ensure that our neighbourhoods remain inclusive.
