SINGAPORE: Barely a week into 2019 and Singapore’s residential home sales market is facing a S$1.1bil (US$811mil) litmus test. Horizon Towers, an older-style building near the popular Orchard Road shopping district, has gone on the market for redevelopment a third time after two failed attempts.

The sellers’ collective has retained its reserve price but other groups of homeowners also seeking so-called en-bloc deals are cutting their asking bids in the hope developers will bite.
