To start, let\u2019s take a closer look at the couple and what they would likely consider when buying a home abroad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yen, 56, has a reputation as a doting husband and will be making a final appearance in the upcoming Ip Man 4. In 2013, he reportedly bought Wang a HK$135 million (S$23.8 million) home in Mount Davis Road, Hong Kong, after renewing their wedding vows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, media reports also said that Wang was <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eyeing investments in Hong Kong shops and office buildings, but the cooling measures there was said to have deterred this goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More recently, Yen made an online post about his gratitude to his wife after 16 years of marriage. Together, they have two teenage children, while Yen has another son from his first marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on these observations, we\u2019ve come up with a few factors that we think could ultimately determine which condo they would purchase. They are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Investment potential<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; This is almost a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">given<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially as Hong Kong is the couple\u2019s country of residence. In the Singapore context, a property\u2019s investment potential is often linked to its proximity to facilities and amenities such as MRT links, renowned school and lifestyle amenities.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>\u00a0Privacy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; We imagine that the famous couple would prefer to keep their private life from the prying eyes of the public. Given their celebrity status, a development with fewer units would likely rank higher on their shopping list.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Size and price <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The couple could be looking for a holiday home that\u2019s potentially large enough to accommodate the entire family during their visits here. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a price range of $5 to $10 million might sound like a lot, it could still be a bit of a stretch when it comes to buying a larger unit in the luxury property landscape (more on this below).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Where would Ip Man buy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So which of the following condo (or condos) would best fit their criteria?

In terms of accessibility, the project is about six-minutes\u2019 drive to the heart of Orchard Road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes The Oliv an attractive buy is its comparatively lower $psf price and larger unit sizes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Based on Realis data, we found that units at the project were selling at an average $2,400 psf when it was launched about 10 years ago. There has only been one transaction at the project since &#8211; the sale of a 3,337 sq ft four-bedder unit at the 7th floor at $7 million ($2,098 psf) in June 2018. However, this was likely a distressed sale, as the same unit was purchased at $8.606 million ($2,579 psf) in June 2010 &#8211; marking an over $1.6 million loss for the seller.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, there are at least five listings for four-bedroom units at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/sale?listing_type=sale&amp;name=The%20Oliv&amp;query_coords=1.3148356265882037%2C103.83157815353825&amp;query_type=cluster&amp;query_ids=deovRfwgCrnpjVLdbYCEVQyd&amp;zoom=15&amp;radius_max=1000&amp;query_limit=radius&amp;property_segments=residential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Oliv <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on 99.co with asking prices of under $3,000 psf at the point in writing &#8211; which makes them comparatively more affordable than the other projects the couple might have seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its sizable units might also appeal to the celebrity couple. For instance, a four-bedder configuration at The Oliv span roughly 3,337 sq ft, which is comparatively larger than four-bedder configurations at some other projects, with some spanning just under 3,000 sq ft.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>2) Bishopsgate Residences\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i>D10 &#8211; Tanglin<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Average price: <\/i><i>$3,336 psf<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Tenure: Freehold<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Completion date: 2012\u00a0<\/i><br \/>\n<i>No. of units: 31<\/i><br \/>\n<b><i>Highlights: Proximity to Orchard Road shopping district and the upcoming Orchard Boulevard MRT station<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-29972 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BIshopsgate-Residences.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"398\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The freehold Bishopsgate Residences sits on Bishopsgate within the Tanglin enclave.
