Mr Choo added that KSH would continue to expand its clientele base to include more blue-chip property developers.

Besides the Madison Residences deal, the group’s current residential contracts include three at Sentosa Cove. These include the $121 million The Coast contract and the $65 million Turquoise contract, both from Ho Bee Group.
