What is Design, Build & Sell Scheme (DBSS) Flats?

DBSS Flats

The Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) was introduced in 2005 to offer greater choice and wider variety to meet the housing aspirations of higher income flat buyers for better design and finishes.

DBSS flats are public housing flats developed by Private Developer. The developer, who has successfully bided for the land from HDB, will undertake the entire development from planning, design, and construction, to the sale of the flats directly to eligible buyers. DBSS flats will be offered for sale under similar eligibility rules, terms and restrictions as applicable to new HDB flats. For the purchase of DBSS flat, HDB provides HDB housing loan and conveyancing services at a fee to the buyers.

DBSS flats is a class of housing type between HDB flats and Executive Condos (EC). The design of DBSS flats will have to maintain open access to common properties. There will be no fencing and no facilities such as swimming pool, gymnasium and tennis courts. Upon completion of the building, the developer will hand over the entire development site to HDB for lease administration, and to the Town Council for maintenance of the common areas and car parks. 

List of DBSS Flats In Singapore

DBSS flats are generally located in mature estates and in good locations, such as Boon Keng, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Toa Payoh, Tampines, Bedok, Clementi, Jurong, Upper Serangoon and Pasir Ris. A total of 13 DBSS sites were launched during the period 2005 to 2011. In 2011, the DBSS scheme was placed under review and the sale of new DBSS sites was halted. Thus, “Pasir Ris One“, the 13th DBSS project, will be the final DBSS project in Singapore.
