Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Singapore, thinks the apartments at Berlayar Residences are likely to be identified as Prime, given their area in a fully grown estate and distance to key main areas. He determines rates of four-room flats at Berlayar Residences could begin at approximately $500,000 to $550,000 before grants. “With the increase in subsidy clawback prices presented in the July 2025 BTO launch, we ought to anticipate a clawback price of about 11-12% on these upcoming flats,” he includes.

Some 20% of the site, or up to 10ha, will be set aside for eco-friendly areas. 4 green passages, ranging from 30m to 60m wide, will weave through the estate, supplying recreational locations for homeowners while in addition promoting ecological connection in between the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve. BTO plans in Berlayar will be created with staggered heights, with blocks oriented to provide even more locals with scenic views of the Southern Ridges and the coastline.

Additionally, Berlayar is going to be a car-lite property, with walking and cycling networks. A lot of homes will be within a 10-minute walk from the Labrador Park and Telok Blangah MRT stations, claims HDB.

Lim foresees the flats obtaining a strong response, noting that BTO projects in Bukit Merah launched in July, including Prime project Alexandra Peaks, saw a healthy application price. “We can expect this demand proceeding in October, specifically as unsuccessful applicants for Alexandra Peaks might try their good luck with one more Bukit Merah project.”
