AN AVALANCHE of home buyer applications has poured in for the eagerly awaited Dawson estate build-to-order (BTO) Housing Board flats in Queenstown.
Applications opened on Tuesday. And as of 5pm on Wednesday, the studio apartments, four-room and five-room flats at SkyTerrace and SkyVille had all been oversubscribed. And more than half of the three-room flats and paired units under the HDB's multi-generational living scheme had received applications.
The 40 studio apartments on offer attracted 104 applications, the 270 three-room flats drew 159 applications, the 1,102 four-room flats pulled in 1,440 applications, and the 176 five-room flats saw 507 applications.
For the 65 paired units in SkyTerrace, HDB received 44 applications.
Despite the higher prices of the Dawson flats, applicants seem to have been won over by their prime location and premium furnishings, such as timber flooring in the bedrooms. The apartment blocks are set to soar more than 40 floors when they are completed in 2015.
Sales executive Leonard Tan, 32, who took a day off work to make the trip to the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh with his family, said he was excited about the new launch.
