Buyers are flocking to mega-scale condos of more than 1,000 units in recent months. Larger condominium projects typically offer more and bigger facilities, more elaborate landscaping, in addition to a lower monthly maintenance fee because the costs are spread out among more units (although some smaller condos also have relatively low fees).
In any case, here are 5 mega-scale condos that have won awards lately and could be well-worth a look for those in the market for a new home, be it for own stay or for investment!
