April 01, 2021 Stackedhomes Just this week, HDB has put out tender documents regarding four sites for housing. As these sites are in mature areas, there’s already a buzz about which of them hold the most promise. The sites are in Balestier, Bedok, Jurong East, and Toa Payoh; all areas that have no lack of amenities. Here’s what to watch for: Where are the new sites? The recently cleared sites are: 51 Jalan Rajah (District 12) 58 Bedok North Street 3 (District 16) 571 Jurong East Street 24 (...

Notable highlights: Golden Mile Complex elicits a strong love-it-or-hate-it reaction. Some Singaporeans consider it shabby and run down, others consider it a historical landmark. So far, the latter seems to be winning, as Golden Mile is up for conservation . Golden Mile was one of the first mixed-used developments in Singapore, next to People’s Park Complex (in fact the same architectural firm, DP Architect, is behind both developments). Today it’s also known as “Little Thailand”, bec...

Legacy planning 1. The value of more space A regular HDB flat, even a 5-room unit, won’t reach up to 1,540 sq. ft. So if you really need that much space, your only other alternative is to look in Singapore’s private property market. As of January 2021, the average price of a private, resale non-landed property is $1,341 psf: Going by this amount, a 1,540 sq.ft. condo unit would cost about $2.06 million. A condo unit that matches the larger maisonettes, such as the 2,067 sq.ft. units in Quee...

Notable highlights: The Floravale has huge units, as is typical of 20+ year-old condos. Most notably, its 3+1 room configurations go up to a whopping 2,303 sq.ft., and this development has 4-bedders reaching up to 2,746 sq. ft. Yet at an average price of $656.90, one of the gigantic 2,746 sq.ft. units would only fall at around $1.8 million. Along with its proximity to many schools, Floravale could be a value buy for larger families living in the west. In terms of location, the Floravale is conv...

March 05, 2021 Think Downtown East and its central Wild Wild Wet attraction would most certainly come to mind.  After a five-year facelift of the entire resort that was completed in late 2018, the water park has doubled in size, boasting four hectares and seven new rides. Theres also more reason to go, since one can utilise your SingapoRediscovers vouchers for this attraction. More than just a water park For those of us who havent been there in ages, Downtown East is not just about the water t...

February 27, 2021 Facebook/Adventurepaddlers Ohana It’s Pasir Ris, not Paris. But hold the disappointment – this heartland-ish far East of Singapore, Pasir Ris, which stretches to Changi , is more posh than you think.

Plus, it’s home to the world-famous Changi Airport . (Speaking of, have you checked out the new Jewel Changi Airpor...
