That is the reality of consumerism \u2013 we are spoilt for choice.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for themed condos; with more than 26,400 non-landed private and executive units expected to be completed in 2016, followed by another 17,234 in 2017 and an estimated 26,000 more in the 3 years following that, it is definitely a buyers\u2019 market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a small island already saturated with condo projects, differentiation and catering to a specific market segment is crucial.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As a result, p<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">roperty watchers are seeing a wave of themed condos being marketed, as developers look to distinguish themselves amid the impending glut of supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various ways this is done, as we have seen how some condos follow a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/foreign-themed-concept-condos\/\">foreign theme in part 1<\/a> of this series. These are other themes that have gained sufficient traction in recent times:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b> Nature-themed<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a tropical island means we have little fluctuation in our weather \u2013 it is either blazing hot or pouring with rain (whilst remaining hot). That also means that we are blessed to be surrounded by lush, green foliage all year around \u00a0&#8211; something developers have taken into serious consideration in their condo designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coupled with the fact that Singaporeans generally work very long hours, condos have introduced elements of nature to \u201cprovide a respite from the demands of corporate life\u201d. (On a side note, did you know Singaporeans are so hardworking that we have the honour of being consistently ranked as having the longest working hours in the world?).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the projects with said theme are envisioned to be sanctuaries with lush, landscaped gardens and ornamental plants, oases of peace that rejuvenate the soul. In some instances, it could also be that the condo faces a forest or conservation area, hence is marketed to \u201cseamlessly blend with nature\u201d. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/the-glades\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Glades<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Tanah Merah and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/glentrees\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glentrees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Mount Sinai are two of them; the former is a 99-year leasehold development with 726 units and is just right across from Tanah Merah MRT station while the latter has 176 units each <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">containing a private enclosed space, open terrace or planter box for residents to create their own nature corner.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6311\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bellewoods.jpg\" alt=\"Some themed condos look to nature for inspiration.

While the thought of forests may conjure up images of swamps, dirt and bad memories of outfield exercises for national servicemen, such condos are surprisingly highly sought after. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/waterfront-@-faber\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waterfront @ Faber,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a forest-themed project located within Faber Hills estate and overlooking Sungei Ulu Pandan, sold all of its 199 apartment and 11 strata-landed home units in April. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/bellewoods\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bellewoods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an executive condo at Woodlands, also witnessed brisk sales with 98 percent of its 561 units sold thus far.

What makes this project stand out? It has been aggressively marketed as the first and only sports themed condo in the market since its launch.

Rather, a project\u2019s success relies primarily on combination of suitable pricing and location, in other words, where value in the short term meets opportunity in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such was the case for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/the-santorini\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Santorini<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a condo inspired by the famous Greek island. Back when it was first launched in March 2014, the 597-unit project only managed to muster a total of 80 units sold on its opening weekend. This was despite having low competition being the only major launch that particular month. The real culprits for the poor sales performance were both price and location; Buyers were put off by the high average selling price of $1,100 (Other condos in the area were selling between $1,000 &#8211; $1,030 psf) as well as the relatively inaccessible Tampines Ave 10 location (The nearest MRT station was at least 20 mins away and only had few amenities nearby).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also a sense of \u201cbeen there, done that\u201d. The novelty of living in a condo with a theme wears thin when a number of other projects in the area promise similar offerings. A prime example are properties located in Punggol, each marketed along the prospect of \u201cwaterfront living\u201d or having eco-friendly features; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/river-isles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">River Isles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/watertown\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watertown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/riverparc-residence\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riverparc<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/twin-waterfalls\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twin Waterfalls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/ecopolitan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ecopolitan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026the list goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonetheless, there will always be demand for concept condos, especially among HDB owners looking to upgrade to condos.
