Is a 99-Year Landed Still Worth It? Melvin Compares It to Luxury Penthouses

Sky-high living or the freedom of a landed home? Which truly delivers more value when both sit on a 99-year lease? That’s the question Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers has been chasing, and this time, the answer might just lie in the East.

As someone constantly on the lookout for homes that offer more than just square footage — homes with potential, presence, and a story—Melvin steps into one of the largest five-bedroom duplex penthouses at Citylife @ Tampines. At over 4,349 square feet, it’s an experience that blurs the line between high-rise living and the lifestyle of a landed property. Some would say: landed in the sky.

Inside, full-height windows, sleek built-ins and layered lighting bring comfort without clutter. The views? Panoramic, peaceful, and here to stay. And with MRT, malls and schools just minutes away, location doesn’t fall short either. For Melvin, it’s never about choosing between lifestyle and practicality—it’s about finding both in one home. Watch to see what he thinks.
