Commenting on the brisk sale of the condominium units at JadeScape Nicholas Mak, executive director of ZACD Group said: “The first day of sales at JadeScape is very encouraging, given that it comes in the shadow of the latest property cooling measures. It should bolster market confidence; and it’s a sign that not all is doom and gloom. There’s still underlying demand for well-designed and well-located properties.”
He added that the average price of $1,700 per square feet (psf) achieved at JadeScape “is a new reality” and has set a new benchmark for the Bishan-Thomson area.
Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex, attributes the strong sales at JadeScape to sensitive pricing of the units. He said: “the overall concept of the project – the well-thought-out design and layout of the units as well as the smart home features; the location in the Thomson-Marymount area; as well as the lack of competition in the neighbourhood.”
JadeScape was bought en bloc by Qingjian Realty for $638 million in 2016, and it is the largest collective sale since 2007 at that time.
