In this episode of PropertyBT, host Leslie Yee chats with GuocoLand’s Dora Chng to unpack what’s driving the demand—from MRT-connected launches to forest-fringed retreats.

We explore why the Lentor area is so hot right now, why buyers are paying a premium for that “brand new” feel, and how green living and flex rooms are becoming the new must-haves.
