Property Picks
We’re expecting yet another slew of strong new launches in 2025, but in the meantime, there’s still inventory to clear. Here’s a rundown of new launches from the previous year or before, that still have several units available for sale. The good news is some notable ones still have several units to go; but given the uptick in buying we’ve seen of late, there’s no guarantee how long these would remain:

Condos with a good selection of units:
1. SORA
SORA is a leasehold, 440-unit project at the foot of the Jurong Lake Gardens.
SORA’s main draws are a combination of greenery and the price point. Units have started from as low as $1.3 million for some of the two-bedders (646 sq. ft.) at launch, and barely touching $2 million for the three-bedders (936 sq. ft.)
Prices here averaged about $1,850 psf, and note that nearby competitor LakeGarden Residences averaged $2,120 psf at its own launch.
In terms of views, both SORA and the nearby LakeGarden Residences have some of the best scenery. The nearby Jurong Lake Gardens are some of the most photographed park spaces in Singapore; and because SORA is right next to it, it’s easy to access the park for a walk, bike ride, picnic, etc.
Nearby amenities come from the HDB enclave nearby, particularly the Yung Sheng Road area. This is where you’ll find the Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre, and there are plenty of small shops in the HDB-run Taman Jurong Shopping Centre. There are two Sheng Siongs and an NTUC nearby, in addition to the usual heartland amenities; so this is quite convenient for daily necessities.
That said, Jurong Lake is not the retail/commercial powerhouse that Jurong East happens to be. Those who prefer urban convenience over greenery might do better to look around condos like J’den, whereas SORA is more for nature lovers. While there are direct buses from SORA to Jurong East, note that there isn’t an MRT station within walking distance.
School access is also a bit limited, with just Lakeside Primary (within 1 km) and Jurong Secondary being within walking distance. But this is still a good family condo in general, with lots of open spaces for the children.
Available Units
| Type | Size(sqft) | From | Avail/Total |
| 1 Bedroom + Study | 689 | $1,406,000 | 1/36 |
| 2 Bedroom Deluxe | 667-807 | $1,559,000 | 14/60 |
| 2 Bedroom Deluxe + Study | 732-915 | $1,576,000 | 83/138 |
| 3 Bedroom Deluxe | 936-1120 | $2,094,000 | 15/22 |
| 3 Bedroom Premium | 1098-1313 | $2,375,000 | 63/64 |
| 3 Bedroom Premium + Study | 1152-1410 | $2,634,000 | 83/84 |
| 4 Bedroom Luxury | 1529-1787 | $3,225,000 | 17/18 |
| 5 Bedroom Luxury | 1679-1938 | $3,542,000 | 18/18 |
2. Union Square Residences
Union Square Residences is a mixed-use, leasehold project with 366 units. This is one of the few condos in District 1, which is one of the most densely built-up parts of Singapore.
Union Square Residences’ main draw is its centrality. This project is within walking distance of the nightlife of Clarke Quay, along with Clarke Quay MRT station (NEL). It’s also roughly the same distance from People’s Park Complex and the Chinatown MRT station (DTL, NEL), so it provides excellent access to the CBD.
Besides its own two-storey commercial element, Union Square is close to the aforementioned People’s Park and Chinatown Point, as well as the various food and entertainment around the Clarke Quay area.
As a matter of personal opinion though, the area isn’t as known for retail as it is for food and entertainment. Places like Furama City Centre, People’s Park Complex, and Riverside Point aren’t exactly known for their shopping; only Clarke Quay Central is what we’d call decent for retail. Perhaps Union Square’s own commercial space will remedy that.
Union Square Residences also seems more aligned toward rental than own-stay use, with about 74 per cent of the units being smaller one and two-bedders. But some buyers may find one-bedders (463 sq. ft.) starting at $1.38 million to be a good entry point to the city centre; while a two-bedder (700 sq. ft.) at about $1.9 million could be okay for young couples.
The surroundings may be too packed for a family condo though, and noise and traffic are a fact of life in District 1. There’s also only one school (River Valley Primary) within one kilometre; so this project will mainly appeal to young urban professionals or landlords.
Available Units
| Type | Size(sqft) | From | Avail/Total |
| 1 Bedroom | 463 | $1,404,000 | 22/30 |
| 1 Bedroom + Study | 506 | $1,490,000 | 51/72 |
| 2 Bedroom | 700-732 | $2,023,000 | 85/134 |
| 2 Bedroom + Study | 743 | $2,180,000 | 28/35 |
| 3 Bedroom | 990 | $2,820,000 | 28/28 |
| 3 Bedroom Premium | 1066 | $3,176,000 | 10/29 |
| 4 Bedroom Premium | 1518 | $4,620,000 | 33/35 |
| Penthouse | 4833 | $21,888,000 | 1/1 |
| Sky Suite | 2476 | $9,500,000 | 1/2 |
3. Grand Dunman
Grand Dunman is a leasehold mega-development (1,008 units), located in the recently very competitive District 15. This project launched alongside Tembusu Grand, The Continuum, and at one point Emerald Of Katong (but Emerald quickly outsold the triad).
It’s not surprising that Grand Dunman will take longer to sell out, given the high unit count. This is possibly the largest condo by land area or unit count in District 15, next to the ageing Mandarin Gardens.
Grand Dunman is just a very short walk from Dakota MRT station (CCL), and is within a major foodie paradise. Old Airport Road with its famous hawker centre is just a stroll away, while Tanjong Katong Road on the opposite side provides plenty of eateries that open till late.
Also nearby, you’ll find several well-regarded schools: TKGS is nearby, as is Chung Cheng High School. Broadrick Secondary and Kong Hwa Primary (although the only primary school within 1 km) are also under 500 metres away, which makes this a suitable family condo.
Price-wise, check out this detailed breakdown comparing Grand Dunman to Tembusu Grand and The Continuum.
In any case, Grand Dunman’s main attraction is being a large mega-development with lavish facilities. District 15’s condos tend to be boutique or small projects that, despite being freehold, lack the facilities to challenge a mega-development like Grand Dunman.
Available Units
| Type | Size(sqft) | From | Avail/Total |
| 1 Bedroom (Luxury) | 549-581 | $1,447,000 | 3/92 |
| 1 Bedroom + Study (Luxury) | 549-710 | $1,428,000 | 63/112 |

| 5 Bedroom (Grand) | 2131-2615 | $5,210,000 | 30/34 |
| 5 Bedroom (Luxury) | 1679-1690 | $4,034,000 | 26/34 |
| penthouse (Grand) | 2336-3068 | $6,054,000 | 10/10 |
4. The Continuum
One of the contenders with Grand Dunman (see above), The Continuum is a freehold counterpart that’s almost as large (816 units). The Continuum has a very unique site layout, in that Thiam Siew Avenue runs through the development (but there’s a bridge linking the two sides).
The Continuum was generally priced higher than its counterparts Grand Dunman, Tembusu Grand, and later Emerald of Katong. However, we have a detailed explanation of how the pricing between Continuum and Grand Dunman interacted here. Due to its higher price, it did move slower initially compared to its competition, but the sales of Emerald of Katong did help push it along as prices were staged up – as buyers started to compare and make sense of the freehold premium.
This is somewhat understandable, however, given its freehold status; it allows The Continuum to blend in better with District 15 (most condos in this district are freehold).
In terms of convenience, Continuum is not too far off from Grand Dunman. It is further from Dakota MRT station, and some may want to use a bus connection instead. But on the flip side, it’s closer to the Paya Lebar area, and you can walk to malls like KINEX. Proximity to the Haig Road/Joo Chiat area is just as good for food and lifestyle; and Haig Girls’ gets added to the list of schools within one kilometre.
If you like District 15, but prefer freehold status or want something closer to Paya Lebar (especially if you don’t need the MRT access), The Continuum could be the better choice for you.
Available Units
| Type | Size(sqft) | From | Avail/Total |
| 1 Bedroom+Study | 560 | $1,502,000 | 56/68 |
| 2 Bedroom | 646-807 | $1,954,000 | 8/170 |
| 3 Bedroom | 872-1141 | $2,670,000 | 9/102 |
| 3 Bedroom Premier | 1066-1302 | $2,997,000 | 48/136 |
| 3 Bedroom+Study | 1227-1464 | $3,434,000 | 62/72 |
| 4 Bedroom | 1227-1518 | $3,388,000 | 24/68 |
| 4 Bedroom Premier | 1690-2034 | $4,735,000 | 30/32 |
| 5 Bedroom | 1905-2260 | $5,567,000 | 29/32 |
5. Terra Hill
Terra Hill is a freehold, 270-unit condo in Pasir Panjang (District 5). This project is notably unusual for being built on an incline, hence the name. This has the advantage of elevating the units, however, and allowing for a sea view.
Terra Hill is within walking distance of Pasir Panjang MRT station (CCL). And while this doesn’t change the fact that it’s a fringe location, it does help with accessibility. Terra Hill is also very close to MapleTree Business City – this could be a good catchment area for tenants and is convenient for anyone who works there. MapleTree also provides an amenity for Terra Hill, with a decent F&B cluster. Terra Hill may also appeal to those who attend or work at NUS or those who want access to Sentosa but don’t want the crazy prices there (or HarbourFront either).
For more intense shopping, entertainment, etc. however, you’ll need to venture out of the neighbourhood. There are also few schools nearby, so parents may want to watch out for that.
Pasir Panjang is still a non-mature area, albeit one with future potential. You’re probably waiting for PSA to pack up and move over to Tuas though, at which point we’re likely to see more amenities in the area (and a nicer sea view from the units in Terra Hill). In the meantime, greenery is a big pull here, with good access to Kent Ridge Park, and a lot of open spaces.
In more recent days (December 2024), we’ve seen 804 sq. ft. and 904 sq. ft. units here transact for around $2.1 million and $2.5 million; and these are arguably large enough for families. It’s not the cheapest new launch, but if you like freehold options with a longer-term view, Terra Hill could work for you.
Available Units
| Type | Size(sqft) | From | Avail/Total |
| 2 Bedroom | 678-840 | $1,884,000 | 5/30 |
| 2BR+Study | 807 | $2,125,000 | 8/40 |
| 3 Bedroom | 904-1335 | $2,376,000 | 78/126 |
| 4 Bedroom | 1313-1894 | $3,469,000 | 46/63 |
| 5 Bedroom | 2120-3035 | $5,511,000 | 10/11 |
