Substantial risk for this model when everyone else is doing pre-sales? Didn’t Sapphire Paradigm use this model? With a PJ address and next to a mall still can’t finish selling it’s an issue.

This used to be common in Western countries like Australia but these were primarily low rise units. Some of the bigger developers like Meriton operate like this with high rise. But pre-sales became common once the Chinese developers came in.

For landed, they do progressive payments and you can customize a bit.

They wouldn’t do it if it was unprofitable. The market is there. Putting additional pressure on them is probably appropriate.

You sum up the mind set why subsale and capital gain doesn’t work as well as thought while the supply is so high. The only saving grace is if you are in an in-demand location.

300-400 units per acre is common nowadays. Can go up to double for commercial titled land. And this is another tier up. Nuts 🌰.

If it’s affordable housing then it’ll be your 800 sqft +- 3 bed 2 bath. It’s possible if u build without regard to facilities like many Western countries.

It’s all smoke and mirrors. The service apartment model using commercial titled land has up to double the density of residential titled land. I suppose it allows for smaller build ups etc. in Western countries, building residential on commercial blocks doesn’t happen unless there is explicitly a commercial component. But here apa pun commercial title land for the sake of density. It took them so long to regulate it with commercial under HDA.

Anything is possible. Build a warehouse use it as a home. But how it’s labeled on sale is another thing.

Number 1 and 2 is doable but a waste of the title.

I suppose the main point is should 1000 office units in a tower be treated the same as 1000 residential units? Should there be different distinction and guidelines?

There is more legal protection for residential units.
