Upon the close of the EOI, we received a few offers which fell short of the owner’s expectation. The residence was subsequently withdrawn from the market place.

With the improving office current market in Singapore, we are seeing more investors shift their focus back to the experienced sector. We feel that it is timely to put the home into the current market again to offer buyers another chance to reconsider this exceptional opportunity.
