In early July, British billionaire James Dyson snapped up the Wallich Residence super penthouse for a record $73.8m. The 21,108-sqft, triplex super penthouse occupying the 62nd to 64th floor of the Guoco Tower is reportedly the largest penthouse and the highest residence in Singapore. Two weeks later, Dyson purchased another luxury home, a hilltop Good Class Bungalow (GCB) located along Cluny Road with views of the Botanic Gardens, for $41m. More recently, a sprawling 84,543-sqft GCB plot in the prestigious Nassim Road area was sold for a record $230m or about $2,721 psf. It was formerly owned by Cheng Wai Keung, the Chairman of Wing Tai Holdings, and his wife Helen. Whilst the buyer is reported to be trustee company SG Casa, media has speculated that the buying party was Eduardo Saverin, the co-founder of Facebook. Joining the elite list of affluent individuals with residences in Singapore is Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba’s co-founder Jack Ma, who reportedly purchased a 30,000-sqft site at Victoria Park Close, where he is said to be building a two-storey bungalow with a basement and swimming pool. "Singapore's solid economic fundamentals, sound financial framework, ease of doing business, quality education and racial harmony continue to make it one of the choice locations for potential foreign investors." 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
