The Quartz is the quintessential dark horse. It was launched with little fanfare as a heartland condo in 2006 and to many buyers it was seen as too fringe, too new, and the area just a bit too boring at the time. Yet in 2025, it emerged as one of the year’s top performers.
Some aspects of its top performance stems from buyers who enjoyed a degree of first mover advantage, capitalising on the growth in the area: new amenities at nearby Sengkang Grand Mall and the surrounding community hub didn’t exist until 2023. But beyond improvements in the neighbourhood, The Quartz also had hidden advantages we didn’t see till now – from efficient pricing, to larger units in a family-centric area.
Here’s a deeper look at how this leasehold, 625-unit project managed to top the charts:
Past performance is a useful signal, but it's not a forecast. The projects that outperformed over the last cycle aren't guaranteed to do so again, and the reasons they outperformed may no longer apply.
The more useful question is whether a particular property still makes sense at today's price, given your budget, objectives and timeline. That's where many buyers find it helpful to get a second opinion.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
