The sale of a four-bedroom apartment at Sky@Eleven was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of June 11 to 18. The 2,820 sq ft unit on the 14th floor changed hands for $5.9 million ($2,092 psf) on June 12. The seller bought the unit from the developer for $2.8 million ($994 psf) in March 2007. As a result, they raked in a gain of $3.1 million on the deal, which reflects a capital gain of 111% for the seller after owning the unit for over 17 years.
This is the second most profitable transaction ever recorded at Sky@Eleven, based on caveats lodged. The most profitable transaction belongs to a unit that was sold just two months earlier. A four-bedder measuring 2,713 sq ft had fetched $6.48 million ($2,389 psf) on April 4, with the seller netting a profit of $3.68 million. They had purchased the unit in March 2007 for about $2.8 million ($1,031 psf).

The second most profitable condo resale transaction during the week in review took place at Viz At Holland. A three-bedroom unit spanning 1,927 sq ft was sold for $2.9 million ($1,505 psf) on June 13. The seller acquired the unit from the developer in January 2006 for about $998,000 ($518 psf). Thus, they made a gain of $1.9 million after owning the unit for almost 18½ years. This works out to a capital gain of 191% for the seller.
The transaction yielded the second-highest profit for a resale unit at Viz At Holland. The record profit logged at the development comes from the resale of a five-bedroom, 2,519 sq ft penthouse unit for $4.15 million ($1,648 psf) in March 2023. The unit had last changed hands for $1.95 million ($774 psf) in December 2006, which means the seller walked away with a gain of $2.2 million on the deal.
