SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Sky Vue, located on Bishan Street in District 20, has topped the list of condos that reached a new psf-price high during the period of Nov 26 to Dec 5. The development hit a record $2,174 psf with the resale transaction of a 1,141 sq ft apartment on Dec 1 for $2.48 million. The three-bedroom unit on the 24th floor was purchased by the seller from the developer in November 2015 for $1.59 million ($1,394 psf), which means they netted a gross gain of about $890,000 on the sale.

This is the first time a unit at Sky Vue has transacted above $2,100 psf. The condo’s previous psf-price high stood at $2,083, stemming from the sale of a 678 sq ft unit for $1.41 million on Aug 4.
