Re: Dubai Investment Group takes 10% stake in Sing Holdings
Watch out. Sing Holdings under DIG is going to buy many of the remaining prime district enblocs at never before prices, for example like the enbloc-resistant Yong An Park, Botanic Gardens View, etc. Sing Holdings aka Dubai Investment Group will make them offers that are so high that they can't refuse.
The ex-owners of cheaply enbloc'ed properties like Silver Tower, Casa Rosita, etc already bang balls during the price boom in the past few months because they sold it for such low price. Now they will bang balls even harder.
