Freehold development Amber 45 topped the list of condos that hit a new psf-price peak in the period between Aug 30 and Sept 8. The new high of $2,829 psf came from the sale of a 1,184 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the sixth floor for $3.35 million on Sept 2.
It is the first time a unit at Amber 45 was sold for more than $2,800 psf. The transaction surpasses the previous record of $2,791 psf that was set last December when a 700 sq ft, two-bedroom unit on the 19th floor was sold for about $1.95 million.

According to URA caveats, the seller of the three-bedroom apartment purchased the unit from the developer in May 2018 for about $2.72 million. Thus, the seller made a profit of about $630,000.
Amber 45 has seen four resale transactions so far this year at an average price of $2,723 psf. Last year, the development recorded seven resale transactions at an average price of $2,662 psf. This marks a 2.3% y-o-y increase in average psf price.
