SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a 2,852 sq ft, four-bedroom unit at Nassim Mansion was the most profitable resale transaction during the week of June 7 to 14. The fourth-floor apartment was sold for $8.19 million ($2,871 psf) on June 8. It had previously fetched $5.78 million ($2,026 psf) in February 2007. As a result, the seller made a profit of $2.4 million (42%), which translates to an annualised profit of 2.3% over around 15 years.

According to URA caveats, the most profitable resale deal at the condo is for a 7,115 sq ft penthouse unit on the 10th floor that changed hands for $16 million ($2,249 psf) in June 2007.
