Moreover, this was the 4th try to sell the Tulip Garden. The estate was first sold in 2007 to the group by Bravo Building Construction. Unfortunately, the group canceled the purchase after they were unable to raise the funds. This is was because of the financial crisis.

According to reports, the owners were able to gain $100,000. It is believed that this time the process will be much smoother than the previous times.
According to the managing a director of Colliers International, this is a great opportunity for the redevelopment. Even after having sale deals in the Holland Road zone, the offer of Tulip Garden was attractive to let go. The key component that makes Tulip Garden attractive is its location.
It was reported that every owner of the unit can earn almost $4.3 million to $7.6 million. The prices are dependent on the size of the home they own. Mostly, the size of units varies between 1,701 and 3,412 sq. ft.

According to Yanlord, the Tulip Garden estate can provide nearly 670 residential units. This is possible with the plot ratio is 1.6. This announcement was made after the trading hours in Singapore Exchange.
