HO BEE Investment has begun selling units at its Turquoise condo at Sentosa Cove at prices ranging from around $2,400 to $2,700 psf.

Apartments cost around $5.3 million for a typical three-bedroom unit and about $6.4 million for a typical four-bedroom unit.

The listed developer sold about 20 of the 30 units that it released yesterday in the project, which comprises only 91 units in total.

Ho Bee seems to be in no hurry to sell out the 99-year leasehold project, given the increasing scarcity of new project launches on Sentosa Cove, market watchers say.

Three bedders in the development have an average size of about 2,100 sq ft, and four-bedders about 2,500 sq ft. Turquoise also has a variety of penthouse sizes - three bedders, four bedders (both of these come with their own jacuzzis), and three sky villas ranging from 6,900 to 7,900 sq ft and each with its own swimming pool.

Ho Bee is developing the six-and-a-half storey project on Sentosa Cove’s Waterfront Collection site, which is flanked by Tanjong Golf Course and waterways.

Over at King’s Road in the Bukit Timah area, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung is marketing this weekend King’s 8, comprising eight freehold strata bungalows. The strata areas of the units range from 4,898 sq ft to 5,414 sq ft, and are priced between $4.67 million and $4.98 million. The bungalows have two storeys plus an attic, basement, a private pool and two private carpark lots. King’s 8 is being developed by Longitude Central.

Over at Jansen Road, Fragrance Land is holding a soft launch for 12 strata terrace houses. Prices of the 999-year leasehold development range from $830 to $850 psf of strata area.

And at the prime Scotts Road, Wheelock Properties (Singapore) begins today the official launch of Scotts Square, releasing a limited number of units. During a preview of the project in July, it sold about half of the 338 apartments, at an average price of $3,983 psf.
