About DBSS

What are DBSS?

For those of you who are newbies, DBSS – in typical Singapore Govt style – means Design, Build and Sell Scheme. Basically, the design, building and selling are done by private developers and agencies. When the project is done, it is handed over to HDB to manage the development.

The design, finishing and quality of the apartment unit is usually better than that of a typical HDB flat. However, DBSS units do not come with pool, gym, and the other facilities normal condos enjoy.

The usual HDB rules apply here: 5 years minimum occupation, selling to only pink and blue IC holders, for income ceiling not exceeding $10,000. Those earning under $8,000 combined salary are eligible for HDB loans. Those earning $8,000 to $10,000 are eligible only for first-timer CPF grant of $30,000.

Prices range between a high-end HDB resale flat and an Executive Condo.
