Parktown Residence is set to change Tampines North, and it has two qualities Singaporeans love: it’s a mega-development, and it’s integrated.

This week, we’re taking a tour of Lorong Stangee, a small residential enclave just off East Coast Road, which is well-known for its eateries. Although I love the idea of living close enough to walk to restaurants and cool cafes, living next to a main road comes with its challenges, such as traffic noise.

With home prices climbing, we may soon see a day when families (at least smaller families) are forced to accept a two-bedder as a norm. But not all two-bedders are created equal: older two-bedders may be huge in terms of raw square footage, but may be terribly inefficient. Likewise, not all newer two-bedders layouts are […] The post 8 Must-Know Factors For Finding The Best 2-Bedroom Layout In Singapore first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

For a while now, critics have been all too eager to write off the Core Central Region (CCR) as yesterday’s news. Yet as we now see in 2025, new upcoming developments suggest that even an “old dog” can bask in a new day’s sun. Leading this potential revival is Aurea. As part of the redevelopment […] The post A First Look At Aurea, A Luxury Redevelopment Of Golden Mile Priced From $2,750 Psf first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

On 4 February 2025, Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (“FLCT”) have announced their first quarter business update for FY2025. Noted that their gearing has increased substantially this quarter, attributable to the acquisition funded by debt, distribution paid as well as weakening of foreign currencies against SGD.

A few days ago, a reader pointed out an interesting conundrum: the renovations on various websites, for big families, tend to be for other countries. And for Singapore sites, the nicest reno features all tend to show a big condo or landed home. This week, we’re going to rectify that by pointing out practical renovations […] The post 10 Practical Tips To Renovate A Family-Friendly 4-Room HDB For 3 Kids first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

In this week’s episode, a multi-generational family home is designed to balance openness and privacy, responding to its urban context and the homeowners’ love for books and plants.

We might be a little over-reliant on visuals, when it comes to property info. Recently, I came across a comment about some HDB-provided updates. This was on the topic of flat availability; a topic that, as most Singaporeans know, is only slightly less incendiary than playing with blowtorches in a fireworks factory: They themselves published […] The post How Property Data In Singapore Can Trick You first appeared on TheFinance.sg.
