North Gaia EC sees 3,700 visitors on preview weekend
SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) – Like Provence Residence and Parc Greenwich, North Gaia lies in the northern region. What’s even more, the last new launch of an EC project in Yishun was in 2015, claims Mark Yip, Chief Executive Officer of Huttons Asia. “Customers are therefore eager to see what the very first EC launch in 2022 is offering,” he includes.

The 616-unit North Gaia at Yishun Close opened up for e-application on April 7, and also will be launched for sale on April 23. “We are very urged by the strong involvement in our job,” remarks Lee Sze Hao, Chief Executive Officer of Sing Holdings, the developer of North Gaia.
The easing of the secure management steps allowing an utmost capability of 1,000 viewers in a developer’s project sales gallery was “timely”, notes Ken Low, handling partner of SRI. “It satisfies the rising demand for EC and also the solid characteristics of North Gaia,” he claims.
” The last time we saw such groups was three years back in the pre-Covid era,” states Doris Ong, deputy CEO of ERA Singapore. “A great deal of people have not checked out showflats in a long period of time,” she includes.
The first exec condo (EC) of 2022, North Gaia, opened its sales gallery and also showflats for public view last weekend break. The sales gallery at Canberra Link drew about 2,000 viewers by the close of Saturday, as well as another 1,700 on Sunday. This brings the tally of visitors over the end ofthe week of April 9-10 to 3,700.
Restricted supply is one more factor, with less than 15 units left unsold from the existing supply, explains Gafoor. There are just 2 EC properties that have remnant units for sale. The 413-unit Provence Home at Canberra Crescent, which was launched in May last year, has just three unsold units. At Parc Greenwich on Fernvale Lane in Seletar Hills, just 10 of the 496 units in the EC property stay unsold.
The loosening of safe administration actions for builders’ sales galleries has allowed more prospective customers to see the showflats. At North Gaia, viewings were still performed by-appointment solely. This was done to ensure the safety of guests, says Sharlin Tan, head of advertising and sales at Sing Holdings. “Watching appointments were set up at different periods to offer us time to sanitise the sales gallery,” she describes.
Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex does not see the solid turnover as “retribution building acquiring” following the easing of constraints. “We understood this was mosting likely to be the hottest-selling job of 2022,” he claims. “With the latest EC land proposals going across $660 psf per plot ratio, the approaching projects will be launched at higher rates. We thus look forward to strong interest because of stifled need for ECs.”
