As everyone starts the second week of #WFH, we have been particularly inspired to work on finding interesting units.
And results have been fruitful!
It is penthouse galore, mainly because our editors have been dreaming about working from homes with awesome views.

You can also join our free weekly newsletter so you stay up to date on our latest curations weekly.
Here we go, these are the Units Of The Week for the week of 13 April 2020.
Shortlists like this are a useful starting point, but the units that make the list aren't necessarily the ones that make the most sense for your budget, lifestyle or long-term plans.
The harder part comes afterwards: comparing the trade-offs, evaluating the numbers, and deciding which home is actually the best fit for your situation.
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.
1The Cascadia

| Developer | Boonridge Pte Ltd | TOP | 2011 |
Why I like it
When you think of penthouses, what comes to mind is usually massive palatial units in the sky. This one is particularly unique as it is just a 2 bedder, but at 1,680 square feet – it still is quite large.
The stacks at the Cascadia aren’t tall by any means, but with most of Bukit Timah being low lying, views from up top are still pretty amazing. The location is great too, near good schools plus proximity to King Albert Park MRT station.

2The Nautical
$1,600,000
| Project | The Nautical | District | 27 |

| Developer | Hao Yuan Investment Pte Ltd | TOP | 2016 |
Why I like it
We recently covered this development in our dual key condo article – hence it was a kill two birds with one stone type situation. While this penthouse admittedly doesn’t offer the best views what is interesting about it is the practicality of it. Yes you might have guessed.
It is a dual key!
I really like the sloped roof too, it just adds so much more character to the place – definitely a unique option to look out for.

3Southaven 1
$2,500,001
| Project | Southaven 1 | District | 21 |
| Address | Hindhede Walk | Tenure | 99 years |
| Size | 3,046 sqft | $PSF | $820.75 |
| Developer | Ho Bee Land | TOP | 1998 |
Why I like it
While we try as much as possible not to showcase units within the same district, this penthouse unit really caught my eye.
Mainly because it has a really well done roof terrace, with enviable greenery views over Upper Bukit Timah – something that is getting increasingly rare in Singapore.
Plus what makes this extra special is the lift in the unit itself, and a jacuzzi right at the top!

4Bluewaters 2
$2,590,000
| Project | Bluewaters 2 | District | 17 |
| Address | 205 Jalan Loyang Besar | Tenure | 999 year |
| Size | 3,122 sqft | $PSF | $829.60 |
| Developer | Novelty Capital Pte Ltd | TOP | 2011 |
Why I like it
You have to be a real big East sider fan, as this one is located all the way at Pasir Ris. That said, it offers a ton of space with 4 bedrooms that offers sea views.
One thing that I really like about it is the floor to ceiling balcony windows, which opens up to a right angled balcony!

Why I like it
You might be thinking, conservation house again? But it’s just tough to argue against including this one.
1. It’s renovated beautifully
2. It is freehold
3. Super close to Orchard Road
4. Spacious size
5. It’s a CONSERVATION HOUSENeed I say more?

Round-ups like this are a good place to start a shortlist, but the real work begins when you start comparing the final few options, looking beyond the headline criteria to decide which property is the best fit for your own situation.
That’s where many readers ask us to help.
If you’d like a second view on any of the units above (or others we haven’t listed), you can reach out for a one-to-one consultation here.
