BTO: Clementi Ridges

 Taken from hdb.gov.sg

BTO (Build To Order) flats in mature estates are as rare as seeing the Singapore women table tennis team getting double red cards within two days. However, HDB just launched not one, not two but three of them this week. They are in Bedok, Macpherson and last but not least, Clementi!

Located in Clementi Avenue 4, Clementi Ridges sits right next to Trivelis, the DBSS flats where prices are bound to be higher. I think those future Trivelis residents who have made a purchase must be feeling rather "bang" now.

In terms of height, both flats are on par since both have blocks that reach up to forty storeys. What's more, a 4-room apartment in Clementi Ridges is approximately 100k cheaper than its Trivelis counterpart but is still 9sqm bigger than it.

There are more than 300 4-room flats to choose from, the category which most people are interested in so expect to witness a fierce competition that will see many people waste money in trying to get a good ballot number.

Clementi is a small town hence, no matter which part of it you live in, you are still considered close to the central where the MRT station, shopping mall and market are located at.

Trivelis may be a treasure to those who are looking for quality homes in Clementi. However, do not overlook Clementi Ridges as it is also a sparkler and comes with a cheaper price tag.
