Possible Upcoming Short Waiting Time BTO Flats in Ang Mo Kio
The HDB resident population in the town, where the oldest existing flats were built in the 1970s, has shrunk over the past decade from 149,330 in 2013 to 129,030 in 2023. HDB has been introducing new projects in the town to enable young families to live closer to their parents and rejuvenate the town.
The 485-unit project is being built on the site of the old school, which was demolished in 2024. Piling work for the project began in September 2025 and the flats are slated to be completed by the first quarter of 2030, according to notices near the worksite.
The upcoming flats at the site, which spans about 1.82ha or 2.5 football fields, will be about 1km from Mayflower MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast line. Projects launched in Ang Mo Kio in recent years include Oak Ville @ AMK in 2024 and Central Weave @ AMK in 2022.
While the Central Weave and Central Trio projects were oversubscribed, demand for units in Oak Ville, was lacklustre - its two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats were undersubscribed among families applying for flats for the first time.
Analysts attributed this to prospective flat buyers being unconvinced by Oak Ville's Plus classification due to the project's relative distance from an MRT station and other amenities.
Subsidy clawbacks are imposed the first time Plus and Prime flats are sold on the resale market, enabling the Government to recover the extra subsidies priced into the flats at point of launch.
Analysts also expect that the upcoming BTO project in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 to fall under the Plus category, similar to Central Trio and Oak Ville because of the site's relatively central location and good access to public transport, schools and retail options.
Comparing the site with Oak Ville, the upcoming project is closer to everyday amenities and an MRT station. The project is also closer in proximity to schools such as Mayflower Primary School and CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School, as well as to a hawker centre and supermarket in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4.
The limited supply of BTO flats in Ang Mo Kio could see healthy demand for the upcoming project in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 as only about 3,100 flats have been launched in Ang Mo Kio in the past six years - a fraction of the approximately 119,000 new flats launched since 2020.
