A remote site for an Executive Condo located alongside Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5 has drawn in 11 bids for its recent tender. This was more than the predicted 3 to 7 bids that had been predicted by property consultants back in May, when the site saw its launching for Sol Acres.

It has been suggested by analysts that this higher number was down to the continued desire for land of the residential developer. Land is the key raw material that developers require to keep their businesses thriving, regardless of whether there is a dimness to the outlook of the property market.
