Praxis project has received warm public welcome since it was launched. The company has marketed 248 apartment units, 195 of which are sold. For office product, the company has sold 41 units out of the total 64 units.

The high public interest has also led to the significantly increased selling price of Praxis units. In a period of six months, the price of an apartment unit has risen 25 to 30 percent, while that of the office space is up 20 to 25 percent.
