Having coughed up nearly $151/2 million for his penthouse at The Sail @ Marina Bay, Dr Bhupendra Kumar Modi will plonk down another $2 million to do it up.
That $2 million can buy six four-room HDB flats or a fairly posh condo unit.
The money will go into making it a ‘high-tech’ penthouse with special lights, a home theatre system and even a spot for musicians to jam.
One of the four bedrooms will be for Dr Modi’s own use.
The rest of the apartment will be used for entertaining up to 100 guests, from breakfast to dinner to supper.
‘I am converting it into a sort of 24/7 entertainment place,’ Dr Modi told The Sunday Times.
‘Singapore will be a 24/7 city, so will be my flat. If it’s breakfast, we can have a party by the pool. If it’s the afternoon, we can have a movie in the hall.
‘At night, we can create a disco in some areas. It’s a lifestyle place.’
Its splendid view, location and spaciousness - a total of 5,834 sq ft - are why he bought the unit.
‘I like the layout for the purpose I want. It’s not a family penthouse, it’s more a single’s pad,’ he said.
