2016 Heading down Nicoll Highway past the unmistakable Esplanade, not many might know that behind this unique ‘wave-shaped building’ is actually a 5-star hotel hotel, top-end commercial space and ultra-luxury residence – all intertwined into a singular elite lifestyle hub. Home to the world’s first beer-infusion lab and a host of other dining curiosities, you’ll find this area to be worth an entire Sunday’s exploration (and more). From the get-go, tip-top transport convenience and panoramic residential sky decks on the 22nd and 32nd floor of the residence vaguely hint at the price...

“The bigger the better” And if this phrase was any indication of consumer preferences, it would seem that Normanton Park would be on due course for a home run. After all, it is and should be the biggest new launch of 2021 (bar any surprise mega en bloc deals) – at a staggering total of 1,862 units. So for those keeping track, Normanton Park will surpass D’Leedon as the second biggest development in Singapore (in terms of units) – the first prize trophy still goes to Treasure at Tampines – the behemoth in the East with 2,203 units. But let’s be honest, this isn’t a prize that a...

1,848 I think it’s safe to say that The Pinnacle@Duxton is probably Singapore’s most well-known HDB project. It has made headlines for many reasons, one of which is its superbly central location in Tanjong Pagar along Cantonment Road.

Moreover, the HDB even launched an international architectural design competition and received over 200 submissions which eventually led to the design t...

Sep 2022 For the benefit of those less familiar with the East, the culturally rich neighbourhood of Katong was an area once filled with coconut plantations and dominated by seaside bungalows and pre-war shophouses for wealthy Peranakans and Eurasians. Today, the shophouses continue to stand strong with its immaculate motifs and colourful facades while many of the bungalows have given way to high rise condominiums. In fact, Aurum Land’s acquisition of several landed homes to build NYON has effectively brought the end to landed property plots left along Amber Road. Playing on its distinguishe...

2024 As far as records go, Selangor Dredging Berhad (SDB) has long been a believer in the value of freehold projects. So it really comes as no surprise that The Myra is a freehold project in itself – despite its immediacy to both the Potong Pasir MRT station and surrounding commercial spaces like the Poiz Centre. For those wondering, the plot of land that the Myra sits upon is actually an amalgamation of 17 separate land plots – all of which were privately owned by individual landlords up till 2018 when they were collectively purchased for $60.2m. Admittedly, the Myra’s TOP date is stil...
