We have pushed out a
series of IT initiatives such
as the new and improved

Let 2015 be a great and successful
year for you, for Huttons and for

We are proud to launch
the first edition of Hutton’s
very own newsletter, The
Huttons Times.
This year, we are happy to
join our nation in celebrat-
ing Singapore’s 50th birth-
day. We are thankful to
our government for the
peace, progress and pros-
perity that we are enjoying.
As a way to give back to
the community, Huttons, a
home-grown real estate
agency, together with our
Associates, have launched
Huttons Hope, an initiative
to provide scholarships,
quality bonding activities,
career exposures and op-
portunities to youths and

We strive to continue our
best to serve you well and
professionally in local and
international projects sales

Huttons Tips! North Park Residences (Integrated Development)
terchange. Further,
Northpoint City also
incorporates the Nee
Soon Central Commu-
nity Club (a first in
Singapore), as well as
sports and recreation-
al amenities. The lim-
ited availability of inte-
grated developments
in Singapore means
that NPR should gen-
erate good value
growth in terms of
Capital Appreciation &
Rental Yield in years
to come.
With its expected
completion in 2019, North Park Residences
together with the North-South expressway as
well as other new developments will change
the face of Yishun and bring more buzz and
activity. Be a part of it!
North Park Residences (NPR) by Frasers
Centerpoint got off to a roaring start as over
5000 excited buyers and investors flocked to
our showflat on its opening weekend. It was a
great start as no project has garnered such a
crowd since TDSR was implemented. North
Park Residences has been the talk of the town
and its much-awaited
opening was widely an-
ticipated by buyers
throughout Singapore.
On preview day (5 Apr),
313 out of 430 units were
snapped up at an aver-
age price of $1300psf, a premium of $200psf
over projects in the same area. By the end of
the first week (12 Apr), 413/600 had been
sold. Prices range from $612000 for a 431sqft
studio to $1.89mil for a 1432sqft 5-bedroom
unit. There are 920 units in total.
The strong interest in this project can be at-
tributed to North Park Residences being a rare
integrated development directly connected to
Northpoint City, the largest shopping mall in
the North with over 500 shops and 850,000sqft
of Retail GFA. It is also connected via an un-
derpass to the Yishun MRT station and the
Yishun Integrated Transport Hub and bus in-

Crown at Robinson is an
80-unit freehold strata com-
mercial project located in the
CBD, Robinson Road, just 2
minutes away from the up-
coming Shenton Way MRT
and 3 minutes stroll to Tan-
jong Pagar MRT. For busi-
ness owners, Crown @ Rob-
inson boasts a great location, a
superb business address, and
close reach to convenient
transport networks within the
CBD. Investors seeking a pie
of the commercial market need
look no further.
Rare & Freehold! At $3500 -
$3800psf, Crown @ Robinson
is a rare freehold opportunity
with potential for rental yield
and capital appreciation. Office
rents are widely expected to
continue rising this year amidst
a tight supply situation, with
occupancy rates in the down-
town area (of around 90%) at its
highest over the past 5 years. Best
of all, there is no ABSD & SSD!
Open for Level Sales! Following
its preview on 20th March, Crown
@ Robinson is now currently open
for level buyers for levels 11-17.
Don’t miss this rare chance for im-
mediate lock-in!

The 797-unit development is a
mere 3 minutes walk from
Bartley MRT and near top
schools such as Maris Stella
High School and Paya Lebar
Methodist Girls’ School.
70% of its units are priced be-
low $1m, with prices starting at
$598000 for one-bedders to
$1.65m for a 3-bedder. This is
one of the last residential de-
velopments in the Bartley area.
Attractive Pricing! Surrounding projects such as Bartley
Residences and Bartley Ridge sold at average prices of
$1,250psf (launched 3 years ago) and $1,263psf (launched
2 years ago) respectively. In comparison, Botanique at Bart-
ley’s selling price is very attractive, which explains its appeal
to both home-seekers and investors. Current supply is also
limited in this vicinity - Bartley Residences is fully sold, while
Bartley Ridge is more than 97% sold.
Botanique at Bartley by UOL Group
garnered strong interest on its preview on
4 April, where it sold more than 50% of
the 300 units released at an average
price of $1290psf. Local buyers and for-
eigners praise its high specs, unit layout,
lush nature living, and realistic pricing.

Singapore’s Founding Father,
Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away on
23rd March 2015, 3.18am at the
Singapore Gen-
eral Hospital. He
is a visionary and
admired leader
who was an in-
spiration not just
to Singaporeans,
but to many
across the world. He dedicated his
life to Singapore, founded and built
it in one generation, to a first world
country that is well envied. With-
out him, we will not have our suc-
cess today.
Huttons associates paid their respects to late
Mr Lee Kuan Yew on 24th March 2015 at the
designated tribute centre at Ang
Mo Kio Central Stage @ Ang Mo
Kio Town Centre. A wreath was
laid on behalf of all in
Huttons as a mark of
respect.
Hundreds of associates
came together for one minute of si-
lence and three bows in respect to
the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
The best way we can honour Mr Lee is to continue living his spirit of Integrity,
Meritocracy, Courage and Learning.
