SINGAPORE (EDGPROP) - The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Nassim Park Residences was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of March 21 to 28. The 4,822 sq ft unit on the first floor changed hands for $22 million ($4,562 psf) on March 27. It was purchased by the seller for $14.74 million ($3,056 psf) in June 2008 from the developer. This means they reaped a profit of $7.26 million or 49.3% over a holding period of nearly 15 years.

This is the most profitable resale transaction recorded at Nassim Park Residences. It beats the previous high established in February when a 4,284 sq ft unit was sold for $20.5 million. The sale marked a new psf-price high for the development at $4,785 psf. The unit, which was acquired in September 2009 for $14 million ($3,268 psf), netted the seller a gain of $6.5 million over 14 years.

Nassim Park Residences is a freehold luxury development by UOL Group, Kheng Leong Co and Tokyo-based investment firm Orix Corp. Located along Nassim Road, the development was completed in 2011. The 100-unit condo has four-bedders and penthouses between 3,175 and 8,073 sq ft.

The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Grange Residences was the second most profitable transaction during the period in review. The 2,583 sq ft unit fetched $8.58 million ($3,321 psf) on March 23. The seller, who had purchased the apartment from the developer for $2.85 million ($1,102 psf) in February 2004, raked in a gain of $5.73 million or 201% over a period of about 19 years.

This is the first unit to change hands at Grange Residences this year and marks a new psf-price high for the development. It beats the previous high recorded in September 2022, which was also when the last transaction at Grange Residences took place. A 2,583 sq ft, four-bedroom unit fetched $8.188 million ($3,170 psf), netting the seller a gain of $4.29 million. The seller bought the unit in May 2005 for $3.9 million ($1,510 psf). Hence, they made a 110% profit over 17 years.
