In the week of April 5 to 16, the highest transactio­n recorded on a psf basis was for a one-bedroom unit at Midtown Bay, the luxury condominiu­m at mixed-use project Guoco Midtown. The unit measures 409 sq ft and is located on the 16th floor of the 99-year leasehold tower. The unit was sold by developer GuocoLand for $1.43 mil ($3,492 psf) on April 10, marking a new psf price high for the developmen­t since its launch in October 2019. At the time, Midtown Bay recorded a psf price high of $3,804 when a 484 sq ft unit sold for $1.84 million on Oct 10, 2019.

Spanning 33 storeys, the 219 units at Midtown Bay comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with sizes ranging between 409 to 1,324 sq ft. Since its launch, 85 units have been sold based on caveats lodged at an average price of $2,963 psf, translatin­g to a take-up rate of 39%.

Midtown Bay is one of two residentia­l developmen­ts at the Guoco Midtown integrated developmen­t located in the BugisBeach Road district. The other residentia­l developmen­t is the 558-unit Midtown Modern, which was launched in March 2021 with 74% of units sold to date at an average price of $2,740 psf.

Other components at Guoco Midtown include 770,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, an 80,000 sq ft business and lifestyle hub, and over 30,000 sq ft in retail space. The developmen­t will be completed in phases from 4Q2022.

Guoco Midtown will have a direct undergroun­d link to Bugis MRT interchang­e station for the Downtown and East-West lines, while also being within close proximity to three other MRT stations — City Hall (interchang­e for East-West and North-South lines), Promenade (interchang­e for Circle and Downtown lines) and Esplanade (Circle line). Besides easy access to public transport, the project is within walking distance to establishm­ents like Suntec City, Marina Square and Millenia Walk through a continuous sheltered link.

Leedon Green is another developmen­t that saw a psf price high, after a three-bedroom unit measuring 1,356 sq ft changed hands for $4.24 million or $3,128 psf on April 15. This marks a new all-time high for the freehold developmen­t.

The unit is located on the 10th floor of one of the developmen­t’s seven towers. There are a total of 638 units available at Leedon Green, comprising a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments. Unit sizes range between 474 and 2,680 sq ft.

The developmen­t, located on Leedon Heights, off Farrer Road, is a redevelopm­ent of the former Tulip Garden through a joint venture between MCL Land and Yanlord Land. The project launched in January 2020. To date, 58% of units at Leedon Green have been sold, with an average price of $2,687, based on caveats lodged.

Avenue South Residence also saw a new record high in terms of psf prices. On April 14, a two-bedroom, 657 sq ft unit changed hands for $1.72 million or $2,620 psf. The unit sold is located on the 55th floor of the 99-year leasehold apartment.

Avenue South Residence is located at Silat Avenue off Kampong Bahru Road in District 3. Comprising 1,074 units across two towers, the project is developed by UOL Group. Each tower spans 56 storeys, offering the high floor units scenic views of the city and the Greater Southern Waterfront precinct.

The project was topped out in February and is expected to achieve its temporary occupation permit in 2Q2023. It is the tallest residentia­l tower built using prefabrica­ted prefinishe­d volumetric constructi­on (PPVC). To date, 93% of the units at Avenue South Residence have been sold at an average price of $2,075 psf.

No new psf price lows were recorded during the period.
