Sentosa Cove condo prices down a whopping 36% from 2011 peak

Old developments are hardest hit.

Prices of some prime Sentosa Cove projects have fallen by a whopping 36% from their last peak in 2011, according to a report by Barclays.

Barclays noted that The Berth by the Cove, the oldest Sentosa Cove condo which was completed in 2006, last traded at $1,230psf.

This is down 36% from $1,919psf in recorded in Oct 2011 before the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rules kicked in, which aimed to control speculative property buying among foreigners.

Other projects have fallen by a smaller but still painful 25%, such as The Oceanfront, which was completed in 2010.

The Oceanfront last traded at $1,954psf, down 25% from its peak of $2,605psf in Sep 2011 before the ABSD rules.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
