Written Answer by Ministry of National Development on number of HDB flats suitable for redevelopment under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS)

May 9, 2022

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis: To ask the Minister for National Development (a) what is the total number of HDB flats which make up the 5% of all HDB flats deemed to be suitable for redevelopment under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS); (b) what is the number of such flats remaining which have yet to be selected for the scheme; and (c) what is the number of flats added to and/or removed from the list of suitable flats in the last five years.

Answer:

1          Currently, HDB manages about one million flats. Of these, only about 5% are estimated to be suitable for the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS). This is not a target and most of the projects with high redevelopment potential have already been selected.

2          To date, about 41,000 flats across 82 sites have been announced for SERS, and we do not expect many more sites to be eligible. As SERS information is market-sensitive, we cannot share the details on the remaining blocks to be redeveloped or other related information ahead of any SERS announcement.
