For the first time in Singapore’s public housing history, we’re witnessing a Plus BTO project being built right beside the last SERS (Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme) project in the country. That’s right – Oak Ville and Pine Ville are about to become the most interesting property odd couple since… well, ever.

For the first time in Singapore’s public housing history, we’re witnessing a Plus BTO project being built right beside the last SERS (Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme) project in the country.

They say timing is everything in life. Well, let me tell you—timing is also everything when you’re trying to finally upgrade from a kitchen that looks like it survived the 1980s. But I digress.

Singapore’s public housing landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. With the introduction of the Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS), thousands of homeowners in mature estates are now facing crucial decisions about their aging flats. As these pioneering HDB towns approach their golden years, understanding which estates are most likely to be affected by VERS has become increasingly important for homeowners, property investors, and urban planners alike.

Singapore’s public housing landscape is entering a transformative period. With the population reaching 6.11 million as of June 2025 and continuing to grow, coupled with the upcoming Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS) and aggressive BTO construction across the island, homeowners are rightfully questioning: What does this mean for my HDB flat’s value?

I’ve been diving deep into understanding the construction technologies that will shape our future living experience. Here’s what I’ve learned about Advanced Precast Concrete System (APCS) and Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), and why it matters for our Q3 2027 completion!

Meow, fellow humans and felines! Your rotund correspondent here, reporting live from my favourite sunny spot on the corridor ledge of one of the AMK SERS Blocks. Yes, that’s right – I’m one of the 606 households affected by the latest AMK SERS announcement. And let me tell you, as a cat who’s seen three different families move in and out of my adopted home over the years, I’ve got some purr-spectives on this whole SERS business.

Meow! 😸 I’m the Pine Ville Cat – a distinguished 8kg tabby in the Ang Mo Kio SERS community. Currently awaiting my new flat at Pine Ville AMK (which will TOP in Q3 2027! 🎉), I’ve got some serious insights to share about housing policies, VERS, and why Madam Ho Ching’s recent post resonates with this fat cat who’s been through the SERS wringer.
