The M is a 522-unit development on Middle Road in the Bugis district. The project was launched over the Feb 22–23 weekend in 2020, shortly before Singapore’s “circuit breaker” measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic kicked in.
However, despite concerns over the virus at the time, the project performed well in its initial sales phase, and more than 360 units (70%) were sold at an average price of $2,450 psf.
