Tiong Bahru has been named one of the ten urban markets to watch in Knight Frank’s inaugural Global Cities 2015 report, joining the likes of London’s Victoria Park and Kowloon West in Hong Kong as the new wave of property investment hotspots.
The neighbourhood stood out for retaining more of its historic character than most of Singapore.
Given the popularity of Tiong Bahru as an estate, the positive response for 500-unit Highline Residences (pictured) by Keppel Land is not unexpected. According to media reports, about a quarter of the units at the condominium in Kim Tian Road were sold over the weekend.
