Update as of 27 May 2022:<\/strong> This article has been updated with information released during the May 2022 BTO launch. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you didn’t manage to snag a flat in last February’s Yishun BTO<\/a>, you might want to consider balloting for this year’s May 2022 Yishun HDB BTO of Yishun Beacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HDB launched a total of 4,583 BTO units in May<\/a>, with Yishun making up 646 units. That’s around 14% of units located in Yishun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Yishun was derived from the Mandarin Chinese equivalent of Nee Soon. Lim Nee Soon, nicknamed “pineapple king” after his vast pineapple plantations, was a prominent banker and businessman in Singapore in the 1900s. He made his fortune from the rubber and pineapple plantations he had in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the plantations are long gone, Yishun remains a vibrant neighbourhood with stunning parks and a bustling mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
