By 5pm today, 3,000 people had visited the Sora sales gallery at Prinsep Street during its opening weekend.
The 440-unit private condominium is located on Yuan Ching Road, Jurong Lake District. It was developed by a consortium led by SingHaiyi that also includes KSH Holdings & Ho Lee Group.
The project fronts Jurong Lake Gardens by 300m.
The turnout was very encouraging commented as prices at Sora start from $1,850 psf, or just under $1 million for a one-bedroom-plus-study unit.
The 99-year leasehold condo has a wide range of units, from one-bedroom-plus-study of 538 sq ft to 1,938 sq ft, five-bedroom.
Sky 360 rooftop terraces offer unobstructed views of Jurong lake gardens. The Sky 360 rooftops cover an area of 27,500 square feet, which is spread over two 12-storey buildings and another pair 20-storey buildings.

The developer has appointed five of the most prominent real estate agencies to act as joint agents.
Rain on Saturday did not deter many potential buyers. The starting price of $1.850 per square foot was attractive to many.
The positive response at the weekend indicates that the demand for new projects in the [Outside Central Region] which are reasonably priced and located in good areas remains strong.
In March, the Lentor Mansion was launched in the OCR. It was 75% fully sold during its launch weekend. As of June 23, it is 81% sold, with an average price per square foot of $2 268.
OCR private condos priced between $2,100 and $2,200 psf are still considered affordable by homebuyers, despite the new launches of executive condominiums (ECs) priced above $1,500 psf.
