Luxury Condo

Premier Singapore High End Luxury Condo Ownership

Singapore has become the premier location for high end luxury condo investments because of the economic and political stability of the nation state.

Singapore has a high density of very high quality and very highly desirable luxury condos designed by the world's most renown architects and developed by world class developers.

Aside from all the luxury properties & shopping malls in Singapore, there also many nature park & wildlife reserves dotted around the island.

As witnessed by the nation's recent prowess in the current global recession, the Singapore government has demonstrated it's vast reserves and political will to fight for the continued prosperity of the nation.

ENDURING VALUE IN LUXURY

Singapore has become the premier location for high end luxury condo investments because of the economic and political stability of the nation state.

A desirable luxury condo must be built in a location that garners demand and is supported by a stable government with a strong rule of law. What is the use of buying something expensive that has no long term value? It must also have a scarcity factor that cannot be replaced or simply negated.

Economic and Political Stability

Here in Singapore, as witnessed by the nation's recent prowess in the current global recession, the Singapore government has demonstrated it's vast reserves and political will to fight for the continued prosperity of the nation. The economy is stable and the future looks good because of the strength of the government and the resilience of its people. The recent elections have also given the current government a further mandate of 5 years.

Singapore is a nation state built on a small island, it is slightly smaller than the city of Lexington, Kentucky with a population of 5.7M. We are in the tropics and we are sheltered from the forces of nature, there are no hurricanes, no earthquakes and no volcanic activities here. We do not have 4 seasons here, but only summer with rain showers to cool it down every few days.

Sheltered from Forces of Nature

Good Government for the People

Singapore enjoys a very low unemployment rate, a very low crime rate, and the people are highly educated and the per capita income is high. Here in Singapore, people can walk on the streets late at night anywhere without fear because it is so peaceful.

What I have described above is a near perfect recipe for a very high quality real estate investment. Furthermore, Singapore has a high density of very high quality and very highly desirable luxury condos designed by the world's most renown architects and developed by world class developers. Just to name a few: we have Wallich Residence in Downtown Singapore, designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, The reflections at Keppel Bay by Daniel Libeskind, Nouvel18 by Jean Nouvel, Gramercy Park by NBBJ, South Beach Residences by Foster and Partners and so many more.

Peaceful Streets and Prosperous People

ENDURING VALUE IN TRUE LUXURY

Singapore has multiple gardens, parks & nature reserves spread out across the island with one of the most visited being Gardens By The Bay.

A multidisciplinary team of professionals who have been involved in the greening of Singapore and has worked alongside international and local experts to develop the Gardens. It has an in-house team of skilled landscape designers, horticulturists, arborists, engineers, plant health, garden and turf management experts, as well as plant research and orchid breeding professionals, who leverage on the extensive global network of plant sources cultivated during the development days, to continuously curate and grow the Gardens.

Greenery and Nature

Aside from all the Gardens and attractions, Singapore boast many shopping malls that will let you shop till your heart is content. For example, the malls on Orchard Road are a tourist attraction in their own right, with smaller boutiques and specialty shops intermingled with huge department stores.

The shops at Marina Bay Sands also offer a wide selection of well-known international brands.

Shopping Paradise

Even though the island of Singapore is a small one, there are many different attractions and islands to visit! For example, Palau Ubin, St John's and also Sentosa!

Sentosa's Attractions includes a 2 km (1.2 mi) long sheltered beach, Madame Tussauds Singapore, an extensive Cable Car network, Fort Siloso, two golf courses, 14 hotels and the Resorts World Sentosa, which features the Universal Studios Singapore theme park and one of Singapore's two casinos, the other being Marina Bay Sands.

Always Something to Do Here

Singapore Changi Airport is served by many leading airlines and is an important hub for the Star and Oneworld airline alliances. Widely recognised as one of the best airports in the world, Changi Airport provides excellent connectivity to the Asia Pacific Region, making Singapore a vibrant aviation hub of choice.

There is the world's largest and tallest indoor waterfall located in the airport, with also a wide variety of food to satisfy your taste buds.

Fair Value: Understanding Risk And The Global Real Estate Bubble Index

According to the latest UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index 2020, published in Sep 2020, Singapore is currently at 0.48, which is fair value. This is in comparison to high risk cities like Munich at an index of 2.35. (> 1.5 means bubble risk is high)

Now is the right time to consider a luxury condo investment in Singapore with the interest poised to remain low due to the need to stimulate the economy.

Stable Foreign Exchange

Did I mention that we also have a high quality banking and financial sector and a central bank that is able to keep the foreign exchange stable? Therefore, our investors do not see wild swings in the FX that will affect their investments. Your money is as safe in Singapore as in Switzerland and definitely more accessible.

Downsides?

Are there any “down sides” you ask? Well yes, good things do not come cheap and it is not cheap to buy a luxury condo in Singapore. Expect to pay anywhere from $1.2M USD for a 1 bedroom condo in downtown SIngapore to as much as $60M USD for a super penthouse on Wallich Residences.

However, for the reasons above, the property will hold its value well in comparison to even some of the major cities of the world, where political strife can easily erode your investments and even big cities can be shut down.

Listed below is a select few of these luxury condos which I have the privilege of representing and if you require more information feel free to contact me.
