HDB executive maisonettes are a rare breed in Singapore’s property market. Essentially two-storey HDB flats, offer their dwellers tons of living space as they typically range from 1,527 sq ft to 1,700 sq ft.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a demand for larger homes as more time was spent at home. While safety management measures have eased considerably, the buying preference for bigger flat types endure. One such flat type that many seek out are these no-longer-in-production executive maisonettes.
So if you’re thinking of buying an executive maisonette or just like to look at pretty executive maisonette designs, then you’ve come to the right place.
