The prices though are very affordable and most of the units are available for pre-selling which means that you can buy the unit even if it is still under construction and with a lower price, of course, as compared to that of a finished one.
The typical available units are studio type, one bedroom, two bedrooms and loft units. The price varies not just as to the type of the unit but also the location, the higher the unit is situated in the building, the higher the price is.
