When we did our last ultimate new launch cheat sheet in February 2020 (view here), I don’t think many people would have predicted then how the property market would have moved as much as it had in the past year.
It was, after all, the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic (for Singapore, at least). And it was not long after this that Singapore had to go into lockdown mode.
Now, it isn’t just the mass market that is moving, but there is a slew of high-end new launches coming up, and HDB resale prices have climbed up for 4 straight quarters.
It has been an intriguing first few months of 2021 so far.
From the introduction of the massive Normanton Park , to the uniquely positioned The Reef at King’s Dock – you could say that home buyers have had quite a good spread to choose from so far (adding on to the already flourishing list of new launches).
Now just a week after, Irwell Hill Residences makes its introduction.
What I find really interesting here is the juxtaposition between the two recent launches.
Midtown Modern had a focus on bringing a liveability perspective to the dense and crowded Bugis precinct, with its efficient unit layouts and blanket of greenery. And by and large, I would say they have succeeded on that front.

San Francisco and Amsterdam, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Joint research from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) explores the experiences of companies that use the two sets of standards together to fulfil their reporting needs.
A Practical Guide to Sustainability Reporting Using GRI and SASB Standards is based on extensive interviews with four global companies: UK-based Diageo, City Developments Limited (CDL) of Singapore, US-headquartered General Motors (GM), and Canada’s Suncor Energy. All four are long-term GRI reporters that now also report with SASB. Their insights are supplemented by survey findings with 132 business representatives around the word.
