SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Jadescape topped the list of condos that saw new psf-price highs from Dec 15 to 26, 2023. The new high of $2,286 psf came from the sale of a 1,421 sq ft four-bedder for $3.25 million on Dec 15. This beats the previous high of $2,283 psf, which was set when a two-bedroom unit changed hands for $1.75 million in August 2023.
The seller of the four-bedroom unit bought the apartment from the developer in September 2020 for $2.48 million ($1,747 psf). This means that the seller made a profit of about $770,000. The condo saw 60 transactions last year, out of which 13 were resales and the remaining 47 were sub-sales.
Jadescape is a 99-year leasehold condo at the junction of Marymount Road and Shunfu Road in Bishan, District 20. The 1,206-unit development was completed in 2022 and comprises seven residential towers. It has a mix of one- to five-bedroom apartments occupying 527 sq ft to 2,099 sq ft.
