Do you want to own a freehold condo, but can only afford a leasehold property?
Then check out Jui Residences by Malaysian developer Selangor Dredging Berhad.
Freehold condo at leasehold prices
At the 117-unit freehold condominium, buyers can choose from one- to three-bedroom apartments. Unit sizes range from 431 sq ft to 1,000 sq ft and prices are from $741,000 to $1.479 million.
You can even get an additional early bird discount of 3.0 percent if you commit to buy a unit before the project’s official launch by submitting a Letter of Approval (LoA). You can get this document from the CPF Board if you intend to tap on your CPF savings to buy a new home.
This means you will only need to pay about $719,000 for the smallest unit.

Own a slice of history
The conserved National Aerated Water (NAW) building will be integrated with Jui Residences, providing future homeowners with one of the last few reminders of Singapore’s industrial past.
Constructed in 1954, the two-storey landmark along Serangoon Road served as a bottling factory that produced famous soft drinks like Sinalco, Kickapoo Joy Juice and Royal Crown Cola.
Designed by an award-winning British architecture firm, Jui Residences will feature modern minimalist and art-déco designs.
