Finally the long waited for Ei8ht Raja by Popular land is launched. It is likely that Popular Land would not like to hold back longer after the cooling measures by Government in end Aug.
Situated off the Jalan Rajah, and adjacent to many CDL newly launched projects & Far East Vista Residences, Right Raja may be preferred by many as it is tucked away from the main road, therefore the noise and dust pollution is not much of concern. Popular Land is launching the development of only 26 units at $1350 psf, which …

The recent property measures announced by Singapore Property have taken the heated market one step back. While the impact to the real estate market is to be further assessed, the market may most probably cool down for the coming 6 months.

Enough say of the surrounding site in my earlier articles. What is ‘striking’ is that the residential enclave of CDL’s empire being broken up …

Still remember the small player, Bravo Building construction turned developer? It defaulted its collective sale deals in $516 million Tulip Garden in Holland Road, by forfeiting its $25.8 million deposit in April 2008. During the turbulent period, many developers suffered under the hand of the financial crisis. And it has been more unforgiving to the small …
