Experts noted that the interest in this site is specific to its location. As such, it should not be taken as an indicator of the wider market conditions. The competition seems to have been intensified due to the ease with which residents will be able to access the development. Moreover, various facilities and amenities are within easy reach. The site should be particularly of interest to parents thanks to the convenient location of reputed schools in the vicinity.
Another reason for the increased interest is that the site is located in an area surrounded by HDB estates. As a result, the developer will get access to a ready catchment pool to get residents from.
