The sale of a four-bedroom apartment at Beverly Hill was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of July 9 to 16, based on caveats lodged with URA. The 3,778 sq ft unit on the fifth floor changed hands for $9.15 million ($2,422 psf) on July 15. The seller had bought it in August 1996 for $3.68 million ($974 psf). As a result, they raked in a profit of $5.47 million, which works out to a gain of 149% for the seller after owning it for 28 years.
This is the second most profitable resale transaction ever registered at Beverly Hill. The record belongs to the sale of a duplex penthouse measuring 7,556 sq ft in July 2023. The seller, who purchased it in January 2007 for $11 million ($1,456 psf), sold the apartment for $18 million ($2,382 psf), netting themselves a gain of $7 million (64%) after a holding period of 16½ years.

Besides the unit sold on July 15, only one other unit at Beverly Hill has changed hands to date this year. A 3,778 sq ft apartment on the 11th floor fetched $9.2 million ($2,435 psf) on April 5.
Sommerville Park saw the second most profitable condo resale deal during the week in review. A 1,948 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the second floor was sold for $3.95 million ($2,027 psf) on July 11. It was purchased by the seller for $1.16 million ($595 psf) in April 2006. Hence, they clocked a profit of $2.79 million, having held the unit for more than 18 years. This translates to a capital gain of 241% for the seller.
This is the third-highest gain recorded to date on a resale unit at Sommerville Park. The most profitable resale deal occurred in May 2018, when a strata landed property spanning 3,294 sq ft at the development was sold for $5.05 million ($1,533 psf). The seller, who bought the property in September 2003 for $1.48 million ($449 psf), walked away with a $3.57 million profit.
