Husband and wife, Drs Tan and Leong, medical specialists in their respective fields, saw 75 houses in three months when they were house-hunting in 2021. “It was the peak of the craziness for house buying in 2021,” relates Leong. “We got gazumped twice and were near the end of our tether when we decided to just look at off-plan options because we couldn’t find any house that we liked that was already built.”
Many of the houses they saw were old and in need of refurbishment. “This was in 2021, and in the pandemic times, I wouldn’t dare buy a house that needed a lot of work,” says Leong. Their find after the 75th house was a pair of semi-detached houses at 51 and 51A Vanda Road that were still under construction.
The structure and the roof were up, and the developer, Pinnacle Asset Group, was targeting to complete and obtain temporary occupation permit (TOP) for the houses in March 2022.

Due to Covid, construction was slow and hampered by delays in the delivery of some of the materials. TOP was only obtained nine months later, on Dec 5, 2022. “We felt like we were waiting a long time for the house,” says Leong. “We finally moved in just the week before Christmas.”
The owner of Pinnacle Asset Group, Victor Soh, had initially purchased the property for his daughter in 2017. It was formerly a detached house sitting on a freehold site of 7,246 sq ft and he paid $10.5 million for it.
