Turf City Condo Launches Amid Forest Clearance and VIP Sales Scrutiny
Published 11 July 2026 · Covers news from 10 Jul to 11 Jul
Bukit Timah's Turf City precinct sees its first private condo launch at prices from $2,799 psf, while nearby Maju Forest faces partial clearance for HDB housing and industry practices around VIP sales come under scrutiny.
- Dunearn House is the first condo to launch in Bukit Timah's redeveloped Turf City precinct, with indicative pricing starting from $1.475M and $2,799 psf; notably, there is a reported $1.1M price jump between a 2-bedder and a 3-bedroom unit, a gap that buyers should factor into their budget planning [1].
- Maju Forest, also in the Bukit Timah area, will have approximately two-thirds (15 hectares) cleared by HDB for future public housing; 8 hectares including a nature trail and freshwater stream connecting to Bukit Timah and Central Catchment nature reserves will be retained [2].
- VIP sales practices at condo launches are under scrutiny after reports that agents received first access to units ahead of general buyers, raising fairness concerns for retail purchasers according to The Business Times [7].
- Hazel Park Condominium in the west (Bukit Batok/Choa Chu Kang area) recorded the strongest 2-bedder returns over the past decade among comparable western condos, averaging 49.46% ROI and $529,714 in profit per transaction, attributed to its 999-year tenure, pricing and limited supply in the area [5].
- For buyers seeking space at lower price points, five resale 4-bedroom condos — including Symphony Suites, Kingsford Waterbay, Signature at Yishun, Cascadale, and Bellewoods — are currently listed under $2 million, spanning multiple suburban districts [3].
