We all want to be connected. Why else would we spend so long on our phones? But the truth is, accessible property with links to connected infrastructure such as public transport is an increasingly attractive proposition in today’s world.
The houses of the future are likely to be even more focused on the sustainable opportunities of public transport and connected development.
That means options like condos near MRT are a big draw for homebuyers, but also an attractive proposition for developers.
