URA Stops Allowing Landed Homes In Condominiums

Business Times published today with regards to the “loophole” which the developers has Strata houses which does not require Land Dealings Approval Unit (LDAU) approval for foreigners to buy in.

Some projects mentioned which did very well in their primary sales are euHabitat in Jalan Eunos, Thomson Grand at Upper Thomson, Archipelago at Bedok.

These is niche since apart from Sentosa Cove (LDAU still required, but Fastracked), there are no other areas which allows foreign buyers to purchase a landed type property without approval, even for cluster housings.

These creates a unique selling point as well for great future capital gains with its limited number of its kind since it offers flexibility and features of a landed property and yet has great communal facilities (even better than cluster housings since land parcel is bigger and shares the same condominium facilities as the rest of the apartment condos)
