District 9 is about “old school prestige,” and many Singaporeans have grown up with the sense that owning a condo here is a mark of success. On the other hand, District 7 is an up-and-coming contender; no few Singaporeans will tell you they frequent areas like Bugis more than Orchard these days.

Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
