Billion‑Dollar Bungalow Fever in Singapore
La Salle Street Sells at a Sweet Six‑Figure Price
A quick browse on PropertyGuru brings up a freehold detached house on La Salle Street selling for roughly $20.9 million. Excellent if you’re looking for a quieter suburban vibe near the Kembangan MRT and the local schools.
The Bishopsgate Blow‑out
Contrast that with a recent purchase by a Singaporean lady who spent a staggering $65 million on a Good‑Class Bungalow at Bishopsgate. This dream home sits on a 29,435‑square‑foot plot and is part of the wife of Fragrance Group’s head, Lim Wan Loo’s massive property spree.
Condominium Mania on Orchard Boulevard
Earlier this month, four condos on Orchard Boulevard sold for a total of $60 million to a Chinese buyer. Prices broke down roughly as: 3 units at about $12 million each and the fourth topping out at a jaw‑dropping $20 million.
So, What’s the Big Picture?
- Suburb‑style detached houses are still a prime option, especially close to transit and schools.
- High‑value Bungalows like the one at Bishopsgate signal a market that’s still targeting the ultra‑wealthy.
- Condo deals continue to pop, offering an alternate route to luxury without the full bungalows price tag.
In short, whether you’re eyeing a laid‑back slice of the countryside or a plush city condo, Singapore’s property scene is as diverse as it is pricey.
