Union Square Residences

Havelock Road / Clarke Quay, D01 · City Developments (CDL)

Overall score 7.8 out of 10. A rental play in the city; sales picked up only after a slow two years. Good for someone who wants a small unit to rent to city workers. It took two years to reach 80% sold, which shows buyers found it expensive. Families will find little here: schools are thin and it is an entertainment district.
