Altura EC receives strong demand from HDB upgraders

Units allocated for second-timers during the launch got sold within the first 3 hours of sales.

Altura EC sold over 60% of its units (220 out of 360) during its launch, receiving strong demand from second-time buyers. The project achieved an average price of $1,433 psf.

The most popular unit types amongst buyers were the three and four-bedroom premium.

According to Huttons Asia, all units allocated to second-time buyers got sold within the first three hours of sales booking for the Altura EC.

"ECs are given upfront remission on ABSD. Hence HDB upgraders will sell their flat upon completion of Altura, which means they can continue to stay in their flat," Huttons commented.

Citing the EC rules, PriopNex said only 30% of units at launch can be allocated for second-time buyers or upgraders.

"For second-timers who did not secure a unit, they can make their bookings for remaining units a month later. We expect that most of the remaining units will likely be sold out when sales bookings are opened to more second-timers later on," Propnex said.

PropNex said buyers were mostly attracted by the development's location.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
