Toa Payoh Hillside Renovation & Interior Design
Toa Payoh Hillside is an HDB BTO project in Toa Payoh, listed in the November 2026 BTO exercise with 1,432 flats, including 256 Community Care Apartments, as recorded from HDB’s BTO portal in our project file. That official confirmation covers the launch and those recorded counts only, not TOP or keys. Tenure is left blank. Community Care Apartments are a distinct HDB product; we will not invent their interior standards, eligibility rules or a typical layout, and we will not treat them as ordinary family typologies. For any flat type, use your HDB documents. This page sets out what is on file and how to plan your Toa Payoh Hillside renovation.

Planning your Toa Payoh Hillside interior
A newly launched Toa Payoh BTO is still years from a first fit-out. When an official plan is issued for a standard flat, the carpentry that typically makes it liveable is a fitted kitchen, full-height wardrobes, an entry cabinet, and a living-room joinery wall, designed by Maison as built-in work rather than as IKEA-style furniture. We have no official floor plan on file and will not invent a mixed typologies schedule for the estate.
Kim Keat Heights is an unconfirmed near-completion page in the same town and is not a guide to when Hillside will get keys. The Orie and The Bronze are nearby District 12 links only. We will not invent walking times to Toa Payoh town or to any MRT station.
Keep the official plan when HDB issues it, and be clear whether your documents name a standard flat or a Community Care Apartment. After keys, inspect defects and apply for the HDB renovation permit before fabrication, following the rules that apply to your actual flat type. A moderate carpentry scope for an ordinary, non-structural family-flat fit-out is often planned at about six to ten weeks on site after approvals — an editorial allowance, not a guarantee, and not a claim about Community Care Apartments. WhatsApp Maison with your unit type and approved plan when you have them. We are not affiliated with HDB.
Planning your Toa Payoh Hillside renovation
Defects check at handover
- Report defects within 30 days of key collection, before renovation starts (HDB move-in guide). The Defects Liability Period runs 1 year from key collection.
- Check floor and wall tiles for hollow or chipped pieces, plaster for cracks, and paint for stains.
- Test every door, window, lock, tap, floor trap, light point and power socket.
- Report through the QR code in your Welcome Kit or your project's Building Service Centre, with photos.
What the rules allow
- Use a contractor listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors; they can apply for the permit for you.
- A permit is needed for works such as removing floor finishes, raising floor levels in wet areas, or hacking or altering walls.
- For the first 3 years, toilet wall and floor finishes in a new BTO flat cannot be removed. New tiles can be overlaid.
- General works: Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm. Noisy works: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. No works on Sundays or public holidays.
- Household shelter walls must not be hacked or drilled. Windows need a BCA-approved window contractor; air-conditioners need a BCA-trained installer.
