10 Upcoming Freehold Condos in Singapore Near the City
There are many reasons why people buy a condo in Singapore. Both executive condos and private condos feature plenty of facilities, and foster a sense of community amongst their residents.
In this article, we will be exploring a few upcoming freehold condos catered towards those who desire closer access to the city centre.
The freehold condos covered can be found in locations such as Newton, Orchard, Bukit Timah, and Balestier. Staying in these developments, it won’t take you more than half an hour to get to the city.

What are freehold condos?

There are two types of condos: freehold, and leasehold. Freehold condos allow the owners to hold their property for an indefinite amount of time. With leasehold condos, the property is returned to the government after the lease expires.
Do note, however, that there are limitations to your freehold condo. For instance, your condo might lie along an area that is planned for a major highway. The fact that it’s a freehold will not be enough to sway the government from demolishing it.
Another limitation is that freehold condos tend to be susceptible to en bloc sales, so you might still have to end up moving out if an en bloc goes through. While an en bloc might be appealing to some due to the attractive monetary payout, it might not be ideal for you if you don’t like relocating.

Which freehold condos are located close to the city?

If you tend to shop a lot at Orchard Road or work in the Central Business District (CBD), these condos will be perfect for you.
