Will deglobalisation and business uncertainty hurt buying power in Good Class Bungalow properties?  

[SINGAPORE] Owning a detached home in a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) Area is arguably the ultimate status symbol for the super rich in land-scarce Singapore.

Located in leafy residential enclaves, these homes can be great for living and entertaining. They are also good stores of value, enabling owners to potentially enjoy robust capital appreciation.

Recent GCB Area bungalow deals include the purchase by Diona Teh, a daughter of the late tycoon Teh Hong Piow, who founded Malaysia’s Public Bank, of a Tanglin Hill area bungalow for S$93.9 million; and shipping entrepreneur Guo Ningbo’s purchase of a Leedon Park detached home for S$45.8 million.
