This area of Farrer Road and Holland Village has witnessed the introduction of several new projects that established benchmark prices. The 85-unit Wilshire Residences on Farrer Road achieved an average selling price of $2,760 psf when the project was completely sold in May. The project was initially launched for sale in April 2019.
The largest new development in the area is the 638-unit Leedon Green, which is almost fully sold nearly four years after it launched in January 2020. Based on developer sales data, the average selling price is about $2,891 psf. This is slightly higher than the $2,863 psf set by neighbouring Hyll on Holland on Holland Road, a 319-unit development launched in October 2020 and fully sold by August this year.
No new project launches are anticipated in Holland Village and Farrer Road in 2024. Consequently, the buying demand is expected to return to the secondary market.
