TOP: 2017 There are some condos that have names that are just aptly named of what it represents. Be it luxurious, a resort-vibe, or a nature infused estate – that first impression is already built from the get-go. But there are also those that are sleeper hits – the Alex Residences is one of them. With such a common name, you’d be forgiven for assuming that this is a run-of-the-mill condominium. If anything, it is placed amongst competitors with really different names as well – The Echelon, Artra – names that evoke a sense of sophistication. So if you’d to compare just on the surf...

TOP: 3Q 2025 One-North Eden is a much anticipated launch for investors and homeowners alike as it marks the first residential development at one-north in 14 years, with the last launch being The Rochester Residences, which TOP-ed in 2011. The one-north (yes, the small letters are deliberate) precinct spans 200-hectares and is meant to be an icon of Singapore’s knowledge economy. Let me explain – it was first conceptualised in 1991 before masterplanned in 2001 by the renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, whose other Singapore projects include the iconic D’Leedon and The Interlace.

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).

Midtown Modern had a focus on bringing a liveability perspective to the dense and crowded Bugis precinct, with its efficient u...

Hougang Capeview was launched in the November 2011 BTO exercise. Back then, some people were complaining about this launch being “so ulu” and “near a reservoir”. Fast forward 10 years and people can now see that the “near a reservoir” is really a strength with both the park connector next to it, as well as the river and greenery facing that many units here enjoy. Prices of 5-room flats here currently average around $700,000, close to twice its initial launch prices, showing just how sought after some of the units here are. The development was even the very first public housing to ...

480 If Natura Loft sounds familiar to you, it could be because it has been making headlines for minting million dollar HDBs. Launched in November 2008 (right smack in the middle of the Global Financial Crisis), Natura Loft was the fourth DBSS project in Singapore that promised condo-like features such as an underground basement carpark (this was not the norm in HDBs then) and a condominium-looking facade. The developer Qingjian Realty (also the developer of the upcoming Forett at Bukit Timah) braved the gloomy market sentiments and pushed on with its marketing efforts, with four-room flat pri...
