I recall this argument surfacing sometime around 2020, when the issue of shrinking HDB flats made the front pages more often.

The Crest was a headline development when it launched, and its architecture is iconic: it was designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Toyo Ito from Japan. Its “blooming flower” facade and sweeping views of the landed Jervois estate make it one of the more recognisable RCR condos. It’s also especially known for its generously sized units, […] The post Why This Large-Unit Condo in the Jervois Enclave Isn’t Keeping Up With the Market  first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

2018 was when the property market began recovering, after the trough years of 2016/17. At the time, most of us market watchers had the sense that home prices were about to start rising again; but many of us were caught flat-footed when cooling measures came again later in the year. For the projects that did […] The post These 5 Condos In Singapore Sold Out Fast in 2018 — But Which Ones Really Rewarded Buyers? first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Dairy Farm Residences had a bit of a rocky start, and you may remember it from complaints about maintenance fees (which were eventually cut by around 40 per cent). That said, Dairy Farm Residences came to market with a mixed-use concept and a strong nature-focused pitch. With its greenery views and the fact that it would […] The post Why This Mixed-Use Condo at Dairy Farm Is Lagging Behind the Market first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

Dual-key units have been an interesting property type to watch recently. Previously, we noted that dual-key units appeared to move more slowly at new launches, as of 2025. However, it’s challenging to draw a sweeping conclusion as to why: dual-key units have very different layouts and sizes, and not to mention, the transactions are low.
