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

Video description from @propertylimbrothers

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.

Melvin Lim and Adrian Lim started PropertyLimBrothers with an intention to market each property to its fullest potential for home sellers and to solve the core problem of the conventional brokerage method with the PLB Team Model, with reverse engineering to add immense value to consumers.

From humble beginnings as Singapore prison officers in 2004, co-founders Melvin and Adrian ventured into the real estate industry in 2007 as traditional agents. With the property industry getting increasingly competitive, they knew they had to be different. In 2017, they started the first video home tour in Singapore with a presenter show and tell format, and have never stopped since!

‘Til date, PLB has crafted more than 1,500 videos on our YouTube channel since its formation. In the last 3 years, 720 of them were Home Tour videos. We have also successfully sold 516 properties in the last 24 months and helped 110 Home Buyers purchase their dream homes in the year 2021. We target the right audience, positioning each property in its truest and best form.

Since 2017, we have grown together with our audience, our clients and the real estate market. Our team has grown from a mere two people working in a small office to 105 full-time colleagues working hand-in-hand to provide our PLB 7-man Team Model to our extensive clients through in-house Media Production, Digital Marketing, Social Media, Inside Sales Consulting, Research, Insights, and Client Support.
