Marketing agent Edmund Tie & Company said in a statement that the District 11 condominium with 20 maisonette units can be redeveloped into "an upscale resort-like boutique condominium project with about 106 units." If the authorities approve, the site could also be developed into a five-storey serviced apartment project or a healthcare development.

In Q1 and Q2 this year, some new launch condominiums and private homes were introduced and attracted a thousand of future home-buyers. Experts thought that the number of new launch projects will be increased rapidly till the end of 2018 and in 2019.
