Be it the latest iPhone model or a Hello Kitty collectible, it is about beating the competition and being the first. Likewise, most of us are suckers for fads. For example, what works particularly well are artisanal cafes offering all-day brunches, usually served on a waffle, regardless of the ridiculous prices attached to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combine these two elements together and you have gotten yourself the perfect marketing strategy for property developers. No longer is a condo just an aspirational brick-and-mortar property with a door and four walls with some shared facilities thrown in, it is now all about owning a lifestyle. In a crowded, competitive property market, developers are increasingly forced to get creative and think out of the box. And with so much supply slated to come into the market in the next few years, there is a danger of losing the interest of target audiences if there is no product differentiation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such is the basis for the rise of the concept condo \u2013 projects created and marketed around a central theme. There is a belief among developers that by having a theme, a condo can attract more attention and, together with the right pricing and location, help garner a high volume of sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6261\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dleedon-view.jpg\" alt=\"D'leedon at Farrer Road, one of the many concept condos in Singapore, tries to be faux French with its name\" width=\"800\" height=\"483\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">D&#8217;leedon at Farrer Road, one of the many concept condos in Singapore, tries to be faux French with its name<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A longstanding trend is to christen condos with foreign names, or model the entire development around a foreign country altogether. The rationale for this is simply because foreign names\/themes generally appear more atas (colloquial for high-class), and with Singaporeans always in a state of one-upmanship, it is not difficult to see why this practice has endured the test of time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, a quick glance through property listings on 99.co\u2019s reveals 40 condos with the prefix \u201cD\u2019\u201d, short for De, meaning \u201cof\u201d in French (such as the popular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/d'leedon\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D\u2019leedon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and hard to pronounce <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/d'ecosia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D\u2019ecosia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Another 47 projects have the word \u201cCasa\u201d in them, the Spanish word for \u201chouse\u201d, like for instance <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/mi-casa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mi Casa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Bukit Batok and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/casa-jervois\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casa Jervois<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the River Valley area. There are also 10 condos containing the word \u201cchateau\u201d, 187 others with \u201cville\u201d (French for town) in them and two with \u201cHaus\u201d (German for house).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with demand for concept condos on the rise, it also means that developers are moving beyond just <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cracking their heads over what to name condos. They are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becoming bolder in modeling their projects to recreate the lifestyle of overseas living, as seen in these examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b><\/b> <b>The Quinn @ Bartley<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is something about the French that seems to resonate amongst Singaporeans.
