Bloomsbury Residences projects positive outlook amidst cautious market

It has already sold 25% of its 358 units at an average price of $2,474 psf.

Bloomsbury Residences in Media Circle sold around 25% (or 90 units) of its total 358 units at an average price of about $2,474 psf, showcasing positive buyer interest amidst a cautious market sentiment and looming uncertainties, Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, said.

The bulk of the units sold were the 2-bedder unit types. Propnex said the units in this project are priced sensitively and largely within the pricing sweet spot of below $2.5m, a manageable quantum for most homebuyers. Indicative prices at Bloomsbury Residences started upwards of $1.37m for the 2-bedroom units, $2.17m for the three-bedders, and $2.87m for the four-bedroom unit types.

Buyers are said to be drawn to the project’s city-fringe location and easy accessibility to public transportation. The range of schools in the vicinity also makes this development attractive to families with school-going children. Meanwhile, investors may find interest in this project, given the potential leasing opportunities to expatriates working in the one-north R&D precinct, Science Park, and Buona Vista area.

“We believe the take-up rate of Bloomsbury Residences could progressively pick up after prospective buyers gain more clarity about the market. In addition, this is the first private condo project to be launched in the new Media Circle neighbourhood, which will become more vibrant as new developments come up,” Gafoor said.

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.
