product design. The land was purchased at

$821 psf ppr, lower than most projects in the

vicinity,

During the launch of Principal Garden, buy-

ers thronged the show flat and about 120

units or 60% of the initial release of 200

units on the first weekend were sold at

an average price of $1,630 psf. This makes

Principal Garden the most affordably priced

development in this location. The starting price

of a one-bedder was only $770,000 while that

of a 3-bedroom lists for only $1.7 million.

There was buying interest across all unit types

and out of the 9 penthouses, 5 were snapped

up. Due to the strong interest, the developer

released another 80 units especially the 3-

bedroom stacks in the following week, bringing

the total of launched units to 280. 3 property

agencies, Huttons, Propnex and CBRE had par-

ticipated in marketing Principal Garden and

Huttons emerged with the best results

with a substantial lead over the other 2.

Principal Garden @ Prince Charles Crescent, a 663

unit, 99-years leasehold development by UOL Ven-

ture Investment and Kheng Leong Company is just a

short walk to Redhill MRT station and a short 10min

drive to the Orchard shopping belt, Great World

City and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Reputable

schools located within the vicinity include Crescent

Girl’s School and River

Valley Primary School.

It is a short drive to a

wide range of shopping,

recreation and dining

amenities. There will be a total of 4 blocks of resi-

dential units within Principal Garden, all blocks are

well-tilted and positioned so that future residents

will get to enjoy maximised panoramic views in

the comfort of their own beautiful homes. Princi-

pal Garden will be

made up of 80%

greenery and 20%

structure. Nature lov-

ers will be enchanted by

the lush tropical garden

and breathtaking scenery

that surrounds the entire

development. Principal

Garden is the most affordably priced development in

this location.

Principal Garden has a mix of 1/2/3/4/4+1/5+1 bed-

room apartment

sizes and is well-

located next to

chased at $731.10 psf ppr, just slightly higher than the

land cost for Thomson Three at $719.80 psf

ppr. The 99-year leasehold Thomon Impressions

has an average selling price of $1,411 psf with

the smallest one-bedder of 463 sf valued at

$670,000. More than half its units are priced

under $1.2 million. The price as well as the location is

a lure for buyers.

Some 100 units in

Thomson Impres-

sions are one-

bedroom units of

463 sq ft with pric-

es starting from

just over S$600,000, 72 units are two-bedders of 732

-764 sq ft, 72 units are three-bedders of 1,055 sq ft

and 34 units are three-bedroom premium units of

1,195 sq ft. During the weekend launch of Thom-

son Impressions, buy-

er turnout was

strong and 88 out of

the 150 units

launched were sold.

Most of the units sold

were the larger units with 2 bedroom units being the

most popular among buyers followed by the three-

bedroom units. 2 property agencies, Huttons and

ERA participated in marketing Thomson Impressions

and Huttons outperformed ERA in the units sold dur-

ing the launch. Given the project’s attractive price

and location, we expect Thomson Impressions to

continue witnessing strong interest from prospective

buyers.

Thomson Impressions is a 288 unit, 99-years

leasehold condomini-

um development

comprising 2 blocks

of 19 storeys, one

unit of 2 storey stra-

ta bungalow, as well as 4 units of strata semi-

detached units. It is located off Lorong

Puntong in the Upper Thomson area. Devel-

oped by Nanshan Group, it is situated within

walking distance to the future Bright Hill

MRT Station and located near top primary

school Ai Tong and near restaurants and shop-

ping centres such as

Sin Ming Plaza and

Thomson Plaza.

Thomson Impres-

sions is in a low

density area due to the high

percentage of landed prop-

erties and shophouses.

Hence, residents can enjoy the

peace and exclusivity of the ar-

ea. It is surrounded by lush

greenery and recreational amenities such as

the upcoming Windsor Nature Park, Lower

Pierce Reservoir and the Singapore Island

Country Club. There is limited supply of

new residential developments in the Up-

per Thomson area. Freehold Three 11 with

an average price of $1,630 psf has been fully

sold since the launch in July 2013. Thomson

Three which has an average price of $1,337 psf

International Feature - Explore the Magnificence of Indo-China

Indochina is at the continental crossroads of India and China and mainly consists of

the countries, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Peninsula Malaysia.

Development is rife in this region with Vietnam and Cambodia taking pole positions in

terms of Economic Progression. The populations of these countries are growing with

a large workforce to support further economic progress. Growth has been strong

with Cambodia and Vietnam displaying 7.0% and 6.0% y-o-y respectively for 2014.

In this edition, we will introduce 3 countries, namely Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia

and also highlight to you various attractive investment opportunities in each of these

countries.

Vietnam - Country Update

From 1 July 2015, foreigners

can now purchase Vietnamese

properties after a new law was passed in the country’s National Assembly.

Foreigner purchases are capped at a maximum of 30 percent of apartments

within a block and 250 houses in a given ward.

As such, the demand pool for the Vietnamese property market has now

broadened beyond the local context. Nonetheless local sentiments should still

remain strong supported by rising local incomes. Vietnam boasts one of Asia's

fastest rates of middle class expansion, with the economy growing 6.28

percent in the first half of this year. Property transactions in Vietnam

have almost doubled from the previous year as of Aug 2015, reflecting

strong demand from both locals and

foreigners.

Compared to countries in the region, Vietnam has one of the largest population size, standing at

almost 90 million residents. However, as of 2014, its property market is valued at USD21 billion

while neighbours Thailand and Singapore stand at USD89 billion and USD241 billion respectively.

There is therefore much room for the Vietnamese property market to progress, indicating the

possibility of substantial capital gains.

Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) - Vista Verde (CapitaLand)

Huttons is proud to bring you our first Vietnam initiative – Vista Verde. Vista Verde is a mixed development by CapitaLand. Nestled

in District 2 of Ho Chi Minh City, Vista Verde boasts 4 Towers of residential Units and 5

floors of retail units. There are a total of 33-35 floors with a total of 1152 residential units.

Within the development, there is an abundance of facilities including sauna rooms, gyms, a

library, tennis courts and many more. The surrounding vicinity includes various

government administrative buildings and also an upcoming metro line.

On 25 October, a preview was held for Vista Verde with over 32 units snapped up within a

12 hour period. Sentiments were so strong that additional units were released in response

to increasing queries for various stacks. Current stocks are running low and desirable units

are moving quickly. Do approach your preferred Huttons International Consultant to

secure your next investment.

Cambodia (Phnom Penh) - The Peak (Oxley Holdings)

Huttons’ first foray into the Cambodian market was epitomised by the successful launch

of The Bridge, with a total of over 330 units sold by Huttons to-date. Following this

successful launch, we are now embarking on our new project, The Peak. The Peak is a

joint development by Oxley Holdings and Worldbridge Land of Cambodia. This

development is located in a prime location while sharing the same address as the

prestigious Shangri-La Hotel Cambodia. Within walking distance of the

development, you can find numerous entertainment amenities including Aeon Mall, and

NagaWorld Casino, the biggest Casino in Cambodia. It is also located close to the

diplomatic hub of Phnom Penh with the Russian and Australian embassies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the country’s National

Assembly.

The Peak is an iconic mixed development standing at 55 stories with 1,014 apartments spread over 2 towers. It has a generous mix of

studios, 1 Br, 2Br + Study, 3 Br and Penthouses to serve the requirements of all investors. Amenities are aplenty with a yoga studio, a

gymnasium, outdoor pavilions, a games room and many more. Most iconic of the lot is the infinity pool on the 55th floor. Imagine

immersing yourself in the infinity pool of Marina Bay Sands Singapore while soaking in the best views of the city. The same can be said

of The Peak in Cambodia where the best of Phnom Penh can be observed while enjoying a dip in your exclusive rooftop infinity pool.

Almost 90 units have been snapped up since sales started in Q3 2015. Prices start at an affordable US$1xxK with a 12% net

guaranteed rental return over 2 years. Do approach your preferred Huttons International Consultant to own a piece of

Cambodia’s rapid development.

Thailand (Bangkok) - Country Update

Thailand’s property market is poised for an upward movement in prices as the economy recovers amidst the political instability of

prior years. With stronger exports, growing investment activities and increased government spending, Thailand’s economy is

forecasted to observe an average growth of 3.6% a year from 2015 – 2019. This was reflected in the Bangkok’s property market where

a 35% increase in prices was observed in Q1 2015. Demand for housing remained strong, especially so for inner city

developments where projects were sold out within a matter of days. These included, The Monument Sanam Pao by Sansiri,

Ashton Asoke and Ideo Q Siam - Ratchathewi by Ananda Developments.

Thailand (Bangkok) - Ashton Silom (Ananda Development)

Ashton Silom is part of the Ashton line-up of developments by Ananda Developments

of Thailand. The Ashton line up represents the developer’s top range of products with

the best quality finishes and design. Ashton Silom is located in the heart of Silom Road,
