Strong sales have been generated in condos linked to MRTs in the past 10 years. The trend has been more prevalent especially for the integrated developments with a commercial component, for instance, a shopping mall.

“An integrated development is a mixed-use project with a commercial and residential component and seamless connection to a transport node and public space,” said Knight Frank head of research and consultancy, Alice Tan.

In Paya Lebar, an example of an integrated development is Paya Lebar Quarter’s Park Place Residences. The private condo had over 250 units of the 429 units taken up on the first weekend at $1,801 psf average price. The project has 3 office blocks with approximately 1 m sqft office space, a shopping mall of 340,000 sqft and Paya Lebar Interchange station. It is set for completion in 2019.

Park Place Residences had a 12.5% higher launch price than that of Katong Regency of $1,600 psf. Katong Regency is a freehold development above One KM shopping mall whose completion was in 2015 after launching in 2012. All its units were taken up in under a month and it is near Park Place Residences.
