If you’re considering a BTO in Yishun, the Yishun Glade Build-To-Order (BTO) project is particularly attractive given its status as a Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) development. The project is situated along Yishun Street 31 and Yishun Ring Road, placing it within the more established and convenient residential zone of Yishun.

A significant draw is the estimated waiting time, which has been advertised at around two years and seven months, a marked difference from the lengthy waits seen in some other recent BTO launches. The development comprises a total of 569 units across four 15-storey residential blocks, with a unit mix of 2-room Flexi and 4-room flats, appealing primarily to singles, seniors, and smaller families seeking swift home ownership.

Location

The location provides a good balance of neighbourhood convenience and access to green spaces, though it is not directly adjacent to an MRT station. The nearest major transport node is Yishun MRT station (NS13), which is a short bus ride away, offering connectivity on the North-South Line.

For daily necessities and leisure, you will benefit from the proximity to Junction 9 Mall, Yishun Public Library, and Yishun Mall.

Furthermore, Yishun Glade’ BTO’s design is inspired by the nearby Sungei Khatib Bongsu Mangrove, and residents can enjoy recreational facilities such as children’s playgrounds, fitness stations, a rooftop garden, a therapeutic garden, and the nearby Khatib Bongsu Park Connector that links to Yishun Pond Park. The inclusion of an on-site senior care centre is a notable feature, enhancing its appeal to multi-generational families or those planning for later life.

Price

  • 2-Room: $132,000 - $217,000
  • 4-Room: $343,000 - $415,000

Yishun Glade appears to offer attractive entry points under the ‘Standard’ flat classification. The indicative BTO price range (excluding grants) for a 4-room flat was approximately $335,000 to $407,000.

Transacted prices for comparable 4-room resale flats with similar remaining leases (around 89 to 94 years) were in the region of $560,000 to $618,888. This significant price differential, ranging from roughly $150,000 to over $250,000, clearly illustrates the capital gain potential inherent in securing a BTO unit here, a major factor for savvy homeowners.

Rent

The surrounding HDB estate generally shows a steady demand for rent, which is indicative of the area’s established nature and amenities.

Recent rental transactions in the Yishun town for whole 4-room HDB flats were typically in the range of $2,800 to $3,500 per month in the months leading up to the BTO launch. For potential investors, this suggests a robust rental yield potential once the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is fulfilled, making Yishun Glade a solid asset for long-term financial planning.

Yishun BTO History

Yishun Glade’s short waiting time of under three years is particularly noteworthy when viewed against the backdrop of recent BTO history in the area, such as the (recently) widely publicised long waiting times for the nearby Vanda Breeze @ Yishun project.

The shorter completion period for Yishun Glade is a direct result of the Housing and Development Board’s (HDB) Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) initiative, where construction activities are brought forward before the launch. This expedited timeline significantly reduces the opportunity cost for applicants, especially those with pressing housing needs.

Application Rate

The strong application rate for Yishun Glade, which drew over 5,200 applicants for its 1,395 units (shared with the Chencharu Grove project in the same exercise), reflects the high demand for both the shorter wait and the affordability it offers.

Food

The most significant and diverse local food option nearby is the Yishun Park Hawker Centre. Although requiring a short bus journey or a brisk walk to Yishun Avenue 11, this hawker centre is highly regarded and offers a tremendous variety of authentic Singaporean street food.

You can find everything from traditional Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, and prawn noodles to modern Tze Char and international fusion stalls, all at affordable prices. For residents willing to venture a little further towards the main Yishun town centre, other popular spots known for local delights like the famous 928 Yishun Laksa are also accessible.

A major advantage of the Yishun Glade location is its immediate proximity to Junction 9 Mall. The mall houses popular chain restaurants such as Shi Li Fang Hotpot, Burger King, KFC, and Pizza Hut. You can also find Asian specialty eateries like Baguo Grilled Fish and Thailand Street Food.

Beyond Junction 9, residents also have convenient access to larger retail centres like Northpoint City (a short bus ride away) and Wisteria Mall, which offer an even broader selection of dining, retail, and entertainment facilities, further enhancing the living experience.
