Calypso Garden has the lower entry: from ~$166,964. Bamboo Forest costs more, but compare price per sqm and stage — ask us for a unit-level calculation.
Calypso Garden is completed — move in or rent out immediately, no construction risk. Bamboo Forest is under construction: cheaper entry and instalments, but a horizon to handover.
The right answer depends on your goal: budget, purpose (yield or living), horizon. Message us — we’ll compare specific units of these projects on price per sqm, views and terms, and tell you honestly which to take.
