So far it has been true for the projects I have seen - first floor about 3.2 m and subsequent floors above about 2.8m m. I wouldn't want to live in the first floor HDB.

Top floor HDB is always having higher ceiling.
Senior
Older generation tends to avoid top floor in HDB, due to heat n leakage issue. I suppose e problem will still b w us due to lowest quote n higher construction costs.
Newbie
I thot it would affect the floor structure if it is not meant to withold the weight of the additional tier ?
Newbie
so...give u 15 ft ceiling height wht u tall.
b pratical less flrs less sales 4 hdb charge u higher
no wonder threads cm up either redundant or like poopoo

Think there are many condos with 3m ceiling height also, not just this 2 right?
Global recession is coming....
Most of the older condos (can't put a time, roughly before 2004) in CCR are all mostly at least 3m ceiling height. I understand that after that many reduced to <=2.85m only?
OCR newer ones my friends places mostly 2.8m.

Older generation do not complain much on HDB. It take me 7 years of complain to HDB to get my unit rectify. The view in my unit is Wow, when I show it to my neighbor in the lower floor. Most of the Roof Top are flat roof, my block is a Peak roof (A Roof over the flat roof)
Junior
Not sure how they gotten the approval , properly using light weight materials bah...

That's very true. That was why I was pleasantly surprised that Soleil had a ceiling height of about 3.05 M when I first step into my unit. A high ceiling makes the unit look spacious and bright. The other unit in my inventory that stands out will be an older project ; Grosvenor view, with a ceiling height of 3.2 M.Most of the older condos (can't put a time, roughly before 2004) in CCR are all mostly at least 3m ceiling height. I understand that after that many reduced to <=2.85m only?
OCR newer ones my friends places mostly 2.8m.

What is the ceiling height for new HDB now?
东方
Mountbatten Lodge (ground floor) 3.3m. R66 3.2m. Residences @ Somme 2.8m. City Regency 3-3.2m. Cosmo 2.8m. DOasia 3.2m. Cotz 2.8m. Kovan Grandeur (ground floor) 3.4 to 4m. All measurements were made up to false ceiling for lower numbers and to concrete for higher numbers where there is a range.
东方
But if you look into the unit from ground up its full view up the mini skirt ohlala
Senior
Not sure about the new BTOs currently built but I suspect its about 2.6m. If add false ceiling, it might drop to 2.35m. Wow! You stretch out your arm can hit ceiling fan liao!
Junior
All HDB now only 2.6m...
I really dont understand.... "air" space is free....
We are already living in such tight spaces.... flats and condos are getting smaller, why dont give us more "headroom"...
At most pay a bit more in construction costs only....
Govt should look into this...
2.9m to 3.2m will make a lot of difference...
For a 25 storey apt.. only 10m higher.... no big deal...
Newbie
Why was the ground floor having higher ceilings compared to the other floors in the older developments in the first place? Is there any reason for this?
I do notice this in some new developments eg Foresta also has this feature for the ground floor. But never ask why...will be good to know the reason.
东方
In this time and age where everything needs to maximize, especially when all plots come with height restrictions.
Junior
Exactly my point... Why have such strict height restrictions? Give us more space lah....
