According to James Koh, executive chairman, CEO and founder of Fragrance Group commented that the land site of Urban Treasure was a huge piece of land and it is freehold. That was why it was called Urban Treasure. He said that the development was a real treasure in that part of Singapore. Because of the big site, you could have experienced the lush landscaping, large swimming pool, wading pool, gymnasium, tennis court and all the other internal facilities of the condo that a small site would not able to provide.

The indicative prices of the condo are from $1830 psf that means the 1-bedroom residential units will start from $880,000 and 2-bedroom apartments price range of about $1.18 million and above.
