Pine Ville @ AMK: 4-Room 83sqm vs 93sqm Layout Comparison
Pine Ville @ AMK offers two distinct 4-room flat configurations for SERS-affected residents: an 83sqm unit and a 93sqm unit. The 10sqm difference translates to approximately 107.6 square feet of additional floor area in the larger unit.
Context
As Singapore’s final SERS exercise, the relocation from Blocks 562-565 AMK Ave 3 to Pine Ville @ AMK represents the last opportunity for residents to navigate the SERS flat selection process. Unlike BTO exercises where flat sizes are standardized within each room type category, SERS replacement projects may offer multiple size configurations within the same room type to accommodate the diverse existing flat sizes in affected blocks.
Based on HDB’s historical practice for SERS developments, the availability of two 4-room sizes allows residents currently living in different original flat types to select replacement units that approximate their current living space.
Layout Differences
4-Room 83sqm Configuration
According to the official layout plans provided by HDB, the 83sqm 4-room flat typically features:
- Living/Dining Area: Approximately 20-22sqm combined space
- Master Bedroom: Approximately 12-14sqm
- Bedroom 2: Approximately 10-11sqm
- Bedroom 3: Approximately 8-9sqm
- Kitchen: Approximately 6-7sqm
- Bathrooms: 2 (one master attached, one common)
- Service Yard: Integrated with kitchen area
The layout emphasizes efficient space utilization with standard room proportions typical of contemporary HDB 4-room flats.
4-Room 93sqm Configuration
The 93sqm 4-room flat provides additional space distributed across the unit:
- Living/Dining Area: Approximately 24-26sqm combined space
- Master Bedroom: Approximately 14-16sqm
- Bedroom 2: Approximately 11-13sqm
- Bedroom 3: Approximately 9-11sqm
- Kitchen: Approximately 7-8sqm
- Bathrooms: 2 (one master attached, one common)
- Service Yard: Integrated with kitchen area
The additional 10sqm is distributed proportionally across rooms, with the living/dining area and bedrooms receiving incrementally larger dimensions.
SERS vs BTO Flat Selection
SERS Process:
- Residents select from available units in the replacement development
- Multiple size options within same room type may be offered
- Selection based on household size and current flat type
- Priority system applies to ensure fair allocation
BTO Process:
- Applicants select room type during application
- Flat sizes are generally standardized within each room type category
- Balloting system determines queue position
- Specific unit selection occurs after successful ballot
Practical Considerations
The choice between 83sqm and 93sqm configurations depends on:
Current Flat Size: Residents from larger original flats may find the 93sqm option more comparable to their existing living space.
Household Composition: Larger households or those planning for future family expansion may benefit from the additional space in the 93sqm unit.
Financial Implications: Assumption: The 93sqm unit likely commands a higher selling price compared to the 83sqm unit, affecting both SERS compensation calculations and potential resale value post-MOP.
Space Utilization: The 83sqm configuration provides sufficient space for most households while the 93sqm offers more flexibility for furniture arrangement and storage.
Timeline Reference
- Expected Selection Exercise: Q1 2027 (based on typical SERS timelines 6-8 months before TOP)
- Expected TOP: Q3 2027
These dates are projections based on HDB’s announced TOP quarter and standard SERS procedures. Official dates will be communicated directly to affected residents.
