2. Ki Residences
Located on Brookvale Drive in the Sunset Way area, 999-year leasehold Ki Residences has been a hit with affluent buyers. There is no MRT station in the vicinity, but the area offers drivers easy access to the Bukit Timah, Holland and Dover areas.
Grace Cheong, Senior Associate Marketing Director at PropNex Realty says, “This location has not had a 999-year or freehold development launch in many years. The pent-up demand is strong, and the location is frequented by people with deep pockets and who strongly believe in the location despite it not being accessible by public transport.”

3. Treasures at Tampines

4. The Linq @ Beauty World
Capitalising on the opening of the Downtown Line a few years ago, The Linq @ Beauty World is a freehold development on Upper Bukit Timah Road that has benefitted from the shortage of freehold launches in an area beloved by affluent buyers. It is located right next door to Beauty World MRT, which offers a direct ride to the CBD via Telok Ayer MRT in about 25 minutes.
Grace attributes The Linq’s popularity to the cult status of the Upper Bukit Timah area amongst a subset of monied buyers. “They strongly believe in the area and know of the potential brought by redevelopments going on in the vicinity,” she says.
