In July 2018, the government imposed new regulations in order to cool the property market. Despite the introduction of these new measures, many analysts believed in a positive market outlook due to the increasing number of new developments that were being built as well as buyer responses.

Therefore, let us continue our series of new condo launches within 500m of a MRT station; specifically, those within 500m of a North-East Line (NEL) Station so you can make your best property decision in 2019.

North-East Line (NEL)



The North-East Line (NEL) runs from Harbourfront (NE1) to Punggol (NE17) and includes prominent stops like Dhoby Ghaut interchange and Outram Park Station. It is also Singapore's first line to deploy fully automated & driverless trains.
