account for over 50% of market transactions, reflecting a strong demand for premium
housing.

registering the highest price appreciation. The Golf Course Extension Road, in particular,
is expected to retain its status as a premier residential and commercial hub, with a
continued emphasis on luxury living spaces.
Data Centres: Increasing number of internet users, rising cloud adoption and
cloud-based services, influx of OTT and streaming platforms have led to a surge in digital
media consumption and data usage, a growing demand of Data Centres is emerging, creating
