Within recent years, the following type of developments have proven a hit with buyers:
1) Waterfront living (i.e. longkang, canal, drains, reservoirs, seaview etc)
2) Mix-development (i.e. integrated MRT/Bus interchange/Shopping mall)
3) Soho (i.e. bed hanging above one's kitchen)
4) Dual-key units (i.e keep main family in 4BR, hide mistress in studio)
5) MMs/shoeboxes (i.e. for the cool singles)
And it seems like if a development has all of the above 5 features it's gonna be a sell-out!
Looking ahead, let's have fun and brainstorm what could be the next 'in' features for future developments! Let me start:
1) Caravan Communities: Due to land shortage and high COEs, developers will start selling caravans as big as MMs as a home, yet at the same time it is a vehicle all you need is a carpark lot big enough. Usual shared facilities apply.
2) Floating Homes: Inspired by kelongs, you can find floating homes at the shores of singapore at a fraction of the price of sentosa cove for the mass market.
Any other wacky ideas? LOL!
