SINGAPORE: A new collaboration between Mediacorp, real estate agency PropNex and real estate portal 99.co will see the launch of a virtual property exhibition next month.
The Singapore Property Show 2020, which runs from October 10 to December 4, will feature nearly 20 recently launched projects. The collaboration was announced at a PropNex virtual convention on Tuesday (September 16).
Hosted on 99.co, the virtual property expo will see narrated virtual tours embedded in each project listing rather than physical tours, according to a PropNex press release.
Property buyers can tour multiple exhibition floors “without the health risk and hassle” of site visits, 99.co CEO Darius Cheung said.
“Our technology enables a rich virtual viewing experience that is much more convenient, but no less informative than physical ones,” Cheung added.

The firm also said that it will conduct weekly webinars for consumers to gain first-hand knowledge and real estate investment strategies from industry players.

More details will be announced closer to the launch of the exhibition.
