The concept of 2-room flats in Singapore has evolved over time. Here are the key milestones:
- 1991: Singles aged 35 and above were first allowed to buy HDB flats on the resale market, but they could not purchase new flats from HDB until later.
- 2013: Singles were allowed to apply for new 2-room flats from HDB, but only in non-mature estates.
- 2015: The 2-Room Flexi Scheme was introduced, merging and replacing the existing 2-room flat scheme and Studio Apartment (SA) scheme. This scheme offered flexibility in lease tenure and fittings, catering to diverse housing needs including families, singles, and the elderly.
