🌟 The Rise of Mixed-Use Developments in Singapore 🌟 🏙️ Convenience at Your Doorstep: In the wake of the pandemic, the demand for convenience and nearby amenities has skyrocketed. Enter mixed-use developments—projects that seamlessly integrate residential, office, hotel, and retail spaces within a single complex. Imagine living, working, and playing all in one vibrant hub! 📈 Growing Popularity: With Singapore’s strategic push towards decentralization, mixed-use developments are sprouting up everywhere. Between 2018 and 2023, 33% of government land sales sites awarded were for mixed-use projects. In just the first five months of 2024, three out of five sites awarded followed this trend. The South Beach project is a prime example, boasting Grade A office space, residential units, a hotel, and retail spaces all in one location. 💡 Beyond Convenience: While these developments offer unparalleled convenience, their true value lies in a mix of factors. Prospective buyers should consider location, the specific blend of asset classes, potential for value appreciation, and personal needs. It’s not just about scale, but about finding the right balance that suits your lifestyle and investment goals. 🌟 An Investment Worth Considering: Mixed-use developments represent the future of urban living, offering a blend of convenience, luxury, and potential financial rewards. As Singapore continues to evolve, these projects are set to redefine our cityscape. ❓ Insightful Thought: Are mixed-use developments the key to a more sustainable and integrated urban lifestyle? How will they shape the future of real estate in Singapore? https://lnkd.in/g5YrggVi #MixedUseDevelopments #SingaporeRealEstate #UrbanLiving #InvestmentOpportunities #FutureOfCities -------- 🗺️🏗️🏫🏪🏭🏬🏣🏢🏘️🏦 👋 I am Trevor Soon, 🏆 Top Real Estate Voice & Top 5% Realtor. 👨💼 Senior Leader Connecting Developers, Professionals & Investors for Growth. 💡 Empowering Real Estate Investment with Emotional Resilience. 🤝 Let's connect and explore how we can win together!

Last week, I stopped over in Singapore and the city's skyline left me in admiration. The way they've 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐮𝐩, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭, is a masterclass in making the most of limited space. While there, I caught up with some friends and clients, and we got talking about how different buying property is in Singapore compared to Australia. 𝐈𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚, 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 – most of us dream about having a big backyard. But in Singapore, it's a whole different game. Land ownership is extremely rare. Instead, people look up, with towering apartment blocks or condos, as they're commonly known. And guess what? Buying a nice condo there can cost a couple of million dollars, and renting one isn't cheap either! It made me think about how Melbourne, where I'm from, and Singapore have about the similar number of people living in them. But Melbourne is so much bigger! Singapore doesn't have the space to spread out, so they build up. Did you know Singapore is among the 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, with over 8,000 people per square kilometre, compared to Melbourne's relaxed 500? This density difference isn't just about numbers; it shapes every part of life; from the way we live to how we invest in our homes. This little stopover got me thinking a lot about the different ways cities grow and how people make the most of the space they have. It's fascinating to see how creativity flourishes when there's a limit on space. How does your city tackle space and living? I'd love to hear a few interesting stories below! #RealEstate #CityLiving #GlobalCities #MelbourneVsSingapore #PropertyInvestment

Hi, we are interested in setting up an office in Singapore, preferably somewhere in the east. What is the rental price range in that area? --- Hi there, - The rental price for office spaces in the eastern part of Singapore varies depending on the specific location and size of the space. - Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4 to $8 per square foot per month. - Areas like Tampines and Changi Business Park are popular and tend to be on the higher end of this range due to their amenities and accessibility. - It’s also a good idea to consider factors like proximity to public transport, parking facilities, and the overall vibe of the neighborhood when choosing a location.

In a ranking of more than 400 global cities by Resonance, #Singapore clinched fifth position, thanks to our thriving economy and superior quality of life. Resonance analyses 24 metrics relating to a city’s Livability, Lovability, and Prosperity, and here’s what they had to say about the Lion City: 1. Emerging from its origins as a free-spirited trading port, Singapore has undergone a remarkable transformation to emerge as “one of Asia’s most modern, well-organised and captivating urban centers”. 2. Visitors to Singapore can immerse themselves in two favoured local pastimes: shopping, which ranks eleventh globally, and, of course, eating. The retail choices are staggering, from haute couture to electronics, from the countless shops adorning Orchard Road to the 24-hour, six-story Mustafa Centre. Our culinary landscape lives up to its fourteenth Restaurants ranking, “buoyed by the popularity of the beloved spicy white pepper crab and the sweet, refreshing Singapore Sling”. 3. Capturing a photograph from the colossal rooftop infinity pool of Marina Bay Sands (poised to expand further with an additional 1,000-room hotel tower and a live entertainment arena) has become a symbolic ritual. On the opposite shoreline, Merlion Park, with its metallic, surfboard-like head, offers an even more iconic perspective. 4. In the coming years, Singapore will focus on boosting prosperity (currently sitting pretty at number two), “creating more green areas and building vibrant developments for work, education and play”. 5. The existing Changi Aviation Park will be expanded with the development of Changi East Industrial Zone, and a mega port in Tuas is set to be the world’s largest fully automated terminal when completed. 6. Closer to the city, a new waterfront district is being explored just south of the port, called the Great Southern Waterfront, which is slated to build 9,000 housing units along Singapore’s southern coast. 7. “Locals are also buzzing about the forthcoming NS Square”, a future outdoor multipurpose venue in the Downtown Core area of Marina Bay that will replace the popular Marina Bay floating platform. This is the latest in the list of accolades for tiny Singapore. We are the "best place in the world to do business", the "smartest city in Asia", the second most innovative country in the world, the “world’s safest country”, and "most liveable location in the world". Our national carrier, Singapore Airlines, is the best airline in the world and our airport the best airport in the world. Our excellence is not serendipitous. It is a carefully designed and tested ideology. Because if we are not the best, why should we be anything at all?   Has this relentless pursuit of excellence made Singapore a better, happier place? Perhaps a topic for another post. In the meantime, I will happily accept that we are the fifth most Livable, Lovable, and Prosperous city in the world.   Photo of conserved houses in the historic Joo Chiat neighbourhood, by me

Singapore and Hong Kong are generally considered Asia’s more vibrant real estate markets. But some up-and-coming cities are giving these traditional hubs a run for their money, with some even beating them on rental yields. Among the known, established property markets, Hong Kong was the only one to make it to the top five in a list dominated by lesser-known cities, according to a recent report by realty services firm JLL. These four cities have led the recovery in rental growth in Asia so far this year.
