DBSS Design Build and Sell Scheme | Vibepedia

The DBSS scheme was introduced by the Housing and Development Board in 2005 to provide public housing with better designs, but it was marred by high prices and poor reception. The scheme was suspended indefinitely after a series of controversies, including the sale of five-room DBSS flats in Tampines for S$880,000. The DBSS scheme involved 13 projects, totaling 8,533 units, and was developed by private developers such as [[sim-lian-group-limited|Sim Lian Group Limited]] and [[city-developments-limited|City Developments Limited]].
