Why Are Integrated Developments So Expensive? | A Parktown Residence Study

Video description from @propertylimbrothers

This week, Melvin and Grayce step into the heart of Tampines, where Parktown Residence is set to take over the spot as largest integrated development in Singapore, and the first to be constructed under the GFA Harmonisation Rule. Rising along the pulse of the East, this landmark project brings a seamless fusion of connectivity and convenience, redefining what it means to live, work, and play in a transit-oriented urban hub. Tied directly to Tampines MRT and an extensive bus interchange, Parktown Residence sits at the intersection of effortless mobility and vibrant lifestyle offerings, setting a new benchmark for integrated living.

Integrated developments have long been heralded as a solution to Singapore’s growing emphasis on accessibility, and Parktown Residence is no exception. With residential towers extending above curated retail, dining, and everyday conveniences, residents will find little need for private transport. The development’s well-calibrated mix of function and form ensures that spaces are optimised for both efficiency and comfort. But convenience comes at a premium—properties within these developments command a 7%-19% uplift over comparable standalone residences, a reflection of demand and limited supply.

Yet, the real question is: Are integrated developments the answer to urban congestion? While only a fraction of Singapore’s non-landed housing stock, their role in reducing car dependency and promoting walkability is undeniable. If more of these projects take root in strategic locations, they could significantly redefine the way we navigate around our city-state. Parktown Residence stands at the frontier of this shift, offering a rare convergence of accessibility, investment potential, and the kind of seamless urban living that outlines Singapore’s next phase of real estate.

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!
