The freehold development is located on Saint Thomas Walk in prime District 9 and was launched for sale in August last year. It comprises two 35-storey towers, and a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments and two penthouses. More than 80 units (32%) out of 250 units in the development have been sold to date, and the average selling price is about $3,212 psf, says Jenny Ho, assistant GM of marketing at Bukit Sembawang Estates.
“We are truly heartened by the recognition from our peers in the industry, at home and abroad”. She says that in winning the recent award, it is a testament to the developers’ dedication to ensure that “timeless architectural design shines through in our work”.
