Biggest Condominium Launches To Look Out For In Singapore In The First Half Of 2019

Some of these large condominium projects could be launching as soon as Chinese New Year.


The en-bloc fever might have come to an end, but developers are already planning sales launches from their accumulated land banks, giving Singaporean property-hunters plenty of choices in 2019.

If you’re thinking of buying a private property for rental income or investment purposes, it is worth noting that the rental market is still not very strong. In the near-term, you should not expect super attractive yields from your properties. With rising interest rates, it might be prudent to also be conservative when counting on rental income to service any debt obligations.

Whether these condos are worth their asking prices and if they are affordable, is also something prospective homebuyers need to carefully evaluate for themselves.

With that in mind, here are some of the largest new condominium projects expected to launch in the first half of 2019.
