Over 300 exec condos sold-to-date for above $1million

The priciest hit $1.61M in August.

Savills reported that Singapore has just seen another record deal being inked. An EC in Yishun, it said was sold for a whopping S$1.61 million in August this year, bagging the record for the highest-priced new EC.

Here's more from Savills:

According to data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), this unit, priced at S$595 per sq ft, is a four-bedroom, double-storey dual-key penthouse at 1 Canberra, sprawling over 2,713- sq ft. The project was launched by MCC Land (Singapore) Private Limited in May this year.

Over 300 new ECs have been transacted above S$1 million thus far, half of which were sold in the first eight months of this year. A growing number of young, affluent buyers seem to be snagging bigger and more luxurious penthouses or sky suites. The rising trend for such luxurious buys could have been triggered by rock-bottom interest rates, rising incomes and many EC buyers escaping unscathed from the latest rounds of property curbs.

The growing number of resale Housing Development Board (HDB) flats being sold at ever-increasing prices has also deepened the pockets of many HDB upgraders who now have more to spend on their next property, which inevitably would be an EC.

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.
