TMW Maxwell, a new mixed-use development in the downtown central business district by CEL Development, Singhaiyi Investments and Chuan Investments was much lower than expected by market watchers(CBD),with only 7 of the 324 units were sold, at an average price of S$3,310 psf.
On the same note, The Arden, a new launch project that launched on the same weekend has a take up rate of approximately 23% at an average price of S$1750psf. This equates to 27 units out of 105 units being taken. The Arden is a 99 years leasehold development located along Phoenix Road. While Orchard Sophia a freehold boutique development at Sophia road saw similar take up rate of 18 out of 78.
