The seller of a unit at Urban Resort Condominium in the Cairnhill neighbourhood raked in the highest profit for resales over July 10 to 17. He reaped a 64% profit of $5.4 million from the sale of a 4,715 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the 17th floor. The home was sold for $13.9 million ($2,948 psf) on July 12, and was first purchased in 2016 for $8.5 million ($1,803 psf). The seller therefore made an annualised profit of 23% over 2.4 years. Incidentally, this transaction marks the highest sale price fetched at the development.
The transaction is the second sale this year at Urban Resort Condominium, in District 9. The previous resale happened in January, when a 2,121 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the fifth floor was sold for $4.9 million ($2,311 psf). The seller purchased that unit from the developer in 2013, for $5.335 million ($2,525 psf). He made an 8% loss of $453,500, or an annualised loss of 2% over 4.6 years.

The Tomlinson is a 13-minute walk to Orchard MRT Station, and a five-minute drive to ION Orchard shopping mall. The unit on the eighth floor fetched $5.15 million ($2,195 psf) on July 12. From the sale, the owner raked in a 47% profit of $1.65 million, or an annualised profit of 3% over 12.3 years. It was purchased in 2006 for $3.5 million ($1,492 psf).
