SINGAPORE: A new collaboration between Mediacorp, real estate agency PropNex and real estate portal 99.co will see the launch of a virtual property expo next month.
The Singapore Property Show 2020, which runs from Oct 10 to Dec 4, will feature almost 20 newly launched projects. The collaboration was announced at a PropNex virtual convention on Tuesday (Sep 16).
Hosted on 99.co, the virtual property expo will see narrated virtual tours embedded into every project listing in place of physical viewings, said a PropNex press release.
Property buyers can tour multiple showflats "without the health risk and hassle" of site visits, said 99.co CEO Darius Cheung.
"Our technology enables a rich virtual viewing experience that is much more convenient, yet no less informative than physical ones," Mr Cheung added.
