Dual-key units popular among home buyers: developer

-

SINGAPORE: Dual-key units are proving to be popular among home buyers, based on the response of an executive condominium launch on Friday.

Such units are designed to contain separate living spaces under one roof.

Channel NewsAsia understands about 20 per cent of the dual-key units at the condominium Forestville were snapped up within two and a half hours of the launch.

The developers have included about 200 such units in the 653-unit project.

They are confident such units will remain popular.

Richard Nah, senior manager at MCC Land said: "I do think that people are starting to appreciate the attributes of the dual-key units. And therefore, I hope they will really get to understand the dual-key units' advantages brought to them: having the closeness of the family together, and yet, maintaining privacy."

The Straits Times  |  MARCH 22, 2013 The Pines Club in Stevens Road will be made over into a hotel and commercial development in an ambitious redevelopment plan. A unit of developer Oxley Holdings has agreed to buy the 18,477 sq m estate for $318 million on a 103-year lease. Oxley has obtained provisional permission to develop two blocks of eight-storey hotels, two blocks of two-storey commercial buildings and a four-storey clubhouse with a basement on the site, according to a company statement to the Singapore Exchange. The club's facilities will be integrated into the new complex. Motoring tycoon Peter Kwee told The Straits Times that club members will be offered places at the Laguna National Golf and Country Club in Changi during the interim construction period. He owns both clubs. Members will be able to use the Stevens Road clubhouse facilities after the redevelopment, estimated to take between two and three years. Talk about the estate's ma

Channelnewsasia.com | Posted: 13 February 2013 2007 hrs SINGAPORE: Property analysts said the former Bukit Timah Turf Club area will probably be redeveloped into a private residential estate, consisting of a mix of landed properties and condominiums. The government is setting aside this piece of land for residential use as part of the recently-released Land Use Plan. The Grandstand is an establishment that sits on the former Bukit Timah Turf Club. The new family lifestyle development was set up just last year. But in five years' time, it may no longer be around. The lease expires in 2018 and housing redevelopment is expected to begin then. Analysts believe the lease may not be extended. Nicholas Mak, executive director of research and consultancy at SLP International said: "If any of these operators have plans to upgrade or to renovate their premises, I think they have to take into consideration that they probably have only about five years left to
