Altura EC sells 88% of its units in second balloting

The average price of units is $1,470 per sq ft.

Altura Executive Condominium (EC) sold 88% of its units during its second-timer balloting event.

Following its second balloting, the 360-unit development now only has 45 units left for sale. The remaining units are mostly 4- and 5-bedroom with flexible configurations.

Qingjian Realty and Santarli Realty –- the developers of the Altura –- attributed the successful sales to several factors, including the recent surge in land bid prices for the Government Land Sales (GLS) Plantation Close EC plot.

Real estate experts also attributed the success of Alutra EC to strong interest from HDB upgraders.

"The strong demand for Altura among second-timers is not unexpected, as executive condos remain a compelling option for HDB upgraders given their more affordable pricing and potential for decent capital appreciation in the future,” Ismail Gafoor, PropNex CEO said.

Marcus Chu, ERA Singapore’s CEO, said Alutra EC’s proximity to Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), which will move to Tengah.

“The school will sit within the 1 km radius of Altura,” Chu commented.

Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, shared a similar sentiment saying the development’s proximity to future Tengah Integrated Transport Hub and ACS (P) likely attracted buyers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
