More luxury homes sold at big-time losses in 2H14

Properties in Orchard and Sentosa were hardest hit.

More luxury homes were transacted at loss-making prices in the second half of 2014, as an increasing number of affluent owners seek to dispose of their once-attractive trophy properties.

Data from Maybank Kim Eng showed that eight of the top 10 loss-making projects came from the prime
District 9 of Orchard and Sentosa island, which had historically attracted much higher foreign interest than other parts of Singapore.

The highest loss-making transaction was the Turquoise@Sentosa. One unit in this project was sold for $3.9m in July, almost half its original sale price of $7.1m when it was first sold in November 2007. Another unit at the Turquoise was sold for $3.1m.

Other projects that saw loss-making transactions in the second half include Orchard Scotts, Helios Residences, The Oceanfront@Sentosa Cove, The Grange, The Cascadia, The Orchard Residences, and Tanglin Hill Condominium.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
