Otto Place’s overall take-up rate reaches 91% after its second balloting

The 600-unit EC project has now sold 547 units.

Otto Place EC sold 166 units in its second balloting, data from Huttons and PropNex showed.

Combined with the units sold during its initial launch in July, the 600-unit EC project has now sold 547 units, reflecting an overall take-up rate of 91%.

Mark Yip, CEO, Huttons Asia, noted that with no other new EC project in the West until Senja Close EC in 2027, second-timers saw Otto Place as the last opportunity to upgrade.

“The second-timers usually have a bigger family size and would need a larger space. Hence, the larger units like those with a study were sought after. All the 4-bedroom units were fully sold,” Yip added.

Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex, said that given the 30% second-timer buyer quota at the launch weekend was quickly met, the robust take-up during the second-timers’ sales booking was expected.

Fong believes Otto Place EC performed well “due to the project’s positive locational attributes, dwindling inventory of unsold ECs, and buyers being cognizant of rising EC GLS land costs, which may put upward pressure on the prices of future EC launches.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
