SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Among condos that hit a new psf-price high over the period of Nov 14 to 26, Leedon Residence topped the list with the sale of a 2,131 sq ft, three-bedroom apartment on Nov 17. The sale price is $6.2 million, which works out to $2,909 psf. Based on caveats lodged, the eighth-floor unit was purchased by the seller from the developer in October 2012 for $5.25 million ($2,463 psf), which means they netted a gross profit of about $952,000 on the latest transaction.
This marks the first time a unit at Leedon Residence has changed hands for over $2,900 psf. The previous psfprice high at the development was $2,776 psf, from the resale of a unit on Feb 14. The 2,648 sq ft apartment fetched $7.35 million.
