The sale of a four-bedroom unit at The Peak was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of April 2 to 9. The 5,522 sq ft apartment changed hands for $8.3 million ($1,503 psf) on April 4. The seller had bought the unit in November 2006 for $4.3 million ($779 psf). This means they reaped a profit of $4 million on the sale, which works out to a capital gain of 93% after owning the unit for nearly 17½ years.
Data compiled by EdgeProp Research indicates the unit is tied for first place in terms of the most profitable resale transactions that have occurred to date at The Peak. The other unit, a four-bedder spanning 5,500 sq ft, also fetched a gain of $4 million when it was sold in September 2013 for $9 million ($1,636 psf).
