The great comeback
The weekend of April 1 and 2 marked 2017’s first new residential project launch from Vietnam — RichLane Residences, Mapletree Investments’ maiden condominium project in Ho Chi Minh City. For the largely Singaporean audience, the most riveting fact during the 25-minute presentation by Marc Townsend, managing director of CBRE Vietnam, was that the starting price of US$95,000 (S$132,825) (RM421,610) for a studio in the high-end condo is equivalent to the price of a new Honda Civic in Singapore.
