Imagine living in the heart of Singapore’s city centre where you are well connected to a network of roads and public transport services, and yet are ensconced in a green sanctuary of over 30 gardens spread across 3.8ha. What about being able to live, work and play in it at the same time because there are state-of-the-art facilities for relaxation and recreation just at your doorstep? Add swanky interiors that have been designed to maximize space, and top-of-the-range built-in appliances to make your life simpler and stylish at the same time. Do such residences sound too good to be true?
Well, they exist but there are only a rare few. So it’s hardly surprisingly to learn that about 70 per cent of a 558-unit development – the Midtown Modern by GuocoLand (guocomidtown.com/midtownmodern) – has been sold since it launched in March. These sold units include 90 per cent of the 307 one- and two-bedders ranging from 409 to 721 sq ft that were snapped up during the weekend launch. Eighty-five per cent of the buyers of Midtown Modern are Singaporeans and permanent residents, with a good mix of singles, DINKs, small families, and couples in their 50s.
