Sky Vue achieves new high of $2,366 psf

SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Sky Vue has topped a list of condos that achieved new psf-price highs for the week of Aug 16 to 23. A 1,141 sq ft three-bedroom unit, which changed hands for $2.7 million, set a new record of $2,366 psf, according to a caveat lodged on Aug 22. The 14th-floor unit was resold for $1.7 million ($1,490 psf) in January 2018, resulting in a profit of $1 million for the seller.

This is the first time a unit at Sky Vue has crossed the $2,300 psf threshold. The previous psf-price high at the condo was $2,225. This came from the sale of a similar-sized three-bedder unit for $2.54 million. Based on caveats lodged, the condo has seen 19 resale transactions at an average price of $2,104 psf this year.

The 694-unit Sky Vue, completed in 2016, is located along Bishan Street 15 in District 20. The 99-year leasehold condo comprises two 37-storey towers with one- to three-bedroom units occupying spaces between 484 sq ft and 1,259 sq ft.

The condo is within walking distance of Junction 8 at Bishan Place, which offers a variety of retail amenities. The mall is linked to Bishan MRT Station on the North-South Line and the Circle Line and is directly across from the Bishan Bus Interchange.

Meanwhile, freehold condo The Promont also hit a new high of $2,166 psf during the period in review. A 2,077 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the 17th floor set a new record when it fetched $4.5 million on Aug 16. The seller had purchased the unit for $3.8 million in November 2017. This means they netted a gain of $700,000 on the transaction.

The new high is just 0.2% higher than The Promont’s previous record of $2,161 psf. This follows the resale of a 2,013 sq ft, three-bedder on the 11th floor that changed hands for $4.35 million in April 2022.

On the other hand, freehold boutique condo Liv on Sophia recorded a new low in psf-price during the period in review. A 710 sq ft, two-bedroom apartment was sold for $1.2 million on Aug 22, which translates to $1,689 psf.
