DBSS units are built by private developers, characterised by unique external features, although owners are subjected to the same regulations as HDB owners. These units are highly sought after due to their rarity and larger living spaces. This demand for DBSS units, combined with their distinctive characteristics and the larger living spaces they offer, likely contributes to the steep high prices transacted at Natura Loft.
