Google AI Overview says:


It's 3 bedroom in the article, so should be 4-room flat. Assuming overview is accurate, even if newest at 1980 makes it 45 years old already. I don't recall we have 39-storey tall HDBs back then? Something don't add up... :unsure:

The view from Alice’s 39th-floor Clementi flat in Singapore. The price index of resale public housing flats in Singapore has been climbing steadily since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Photo: Alice



First-time homeowner Alice*, 29, and her fiancé were so blown away by the view from a 39th-floor public housing flat in Clementi, a neighbourhood in the west of Singapore, they decided within a day that the more than S$1 million (US$780,000) price tag of their new home was worth it.

The three-bedroom, 883 sq ft (82 square metres) flat offered views of the sea and was also within walking distance of the MRT station and the home of Alice’s parents. They negotiated for S$1.018 million – about S$70,000 lower than the seller’s asking price – and sealed the deal last August.

The flat, completed in 2015, would have cost the sellers between S$530,000 and S$650,000 as they bought the flat under the as a build-to-order (BTO) scheme from the government which heavily subsidises the 99-year leasehold BTO housing.

Sad view of Jurong Island is considered blown away.
