Mount Pleasant BTO Launch 2025: A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Singapore

Authored by Raymond Tiah

A New Public Housing Estate in Central Singapore

Singapore’s newest housing district is taking shape at Mount Pleasant, with the first Build-To-Order (BTO) project launching in October 2025. This debut project will offer around 1,500 flats, part of a larger plan to develop 5,000 homes in a prime Central Region location that combines modern living with heritage preservation.

Blending History with Prime Housing

The new estate will rise on the 33-hectare site of the former Old Police Academy, with six heritage buildings preserved and integrated into the new development.

Key features include:

• Mix of two- to four-room flats

• Bordered by Thomson Road and PIE

• Direct access to Mount Pleasant MRT (TEL) for seamless city connectivity

• Close to Novena and Toa Payoh, offering access to amenities and established schools
  
  

This project highlights the government’s commitment to conserving history while creating modern, liveable spaces.

Meeting the Demand for Central Region Housing

Mount Pleasant will include:

• High-rise blocks with green spaces

• Essential amenities: supermarket, food outlets, and shops

• Heritage buildings that add character to the estate
  
  

Analysts expect the flats to fall under the Plus or Prime categories, which come with a 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP). Due to the central location, demand will likely be especially high among families seeking proximity to loved ones and city conveniences.

Mount Pleasant: Singapore’s Next Housing Landmark?

Experts say Mount Pleasant could become the next Toa Payoh or Bishan.

• In 2022, Toa Payoh’s BTO project was heavily oversubscribed

• Similar interest is expected for Mount Pleasant due to its city-fringe location and transport links

• Four-room flats may start from $525,000, with top-floor units potentially exceeding $700,000

Future residents will also benefit from the upcoming Toa Payoh Integrated Development, which includes:

• New town park, polyclinic, and sports facilities

• Library and top primary schools within 1km
