Chart of the Day: See how executive condos worth above $1M skyrocketed since 2010

S$1.3M ECs are hot items.

According to Savills, apart from the priciest S$1.61 million 1 Canberra EC, two sky suites spanning 2,476 sq ft and 2,433 sq ft at The Rainforest were transacted at S$1.58 million (S$637 per sq ft) and S$1.56 million (S$640 per sq ft) respectively in February 2012.

Another 16 ECs from The Tampines Trilliant, Riverpac Residence, Arc at Tampines, Watercolours and Esparina Residences were sold for S$1.3 million and above. These units have all breached the previous record of S$1.1 million paid for a new 2,486-sq ft EC at Pinevale in December 1997.

"The spaciousness offered by the ECs priced above S$1.3 million, often ranging from 1,900 sq ft to 2,700 sq ft, may have been a major attraction. Some were penthouses or sky suites which command unobstructed views, have large roof terraces, spacious balconies, four bedrooms and private Jacuzzis. Others were dual-key units which come with an attached studio and a separate entrance," said Savills.

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.
