A rundown on The Clement Canopy

The Clement Canopy is a leasehold, 505-unit condo in Clementi (District 5). It was completed in 2019. It consists of 40-storey blocks, where units are all outward facing: the high floor units either overlook the AYE toward West Coast Park (a sea view), or overlook Nan Hua High and the surrounding HDB cluster (a greenery view of Clementi Forest).

To see which views resulted in better gains, we’ll examine price movements based on the different unit sizes, and their relevant views. We’ll begin with two-bedder units in block 18 (Stacks 9 and 12).
