SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a four-bedroom unit at Ardmore Park was the most profitable transaction during the week of March 16 to 23. The 2,885 sq ft unit on the sixth floor was sold for $9.5 million ($3,293 psf) on March 16. The apartment had been bought for $4.8 million ($1,664 psf) in August 1996. Thus, the seller made a profit of close to $4.7 million (98%), which translates to an annualised profit of 2.8% over 24½ years.
Ardmore Park is an ultra-luxury condominium in prime District 10. The freehold development features a trio of 30-storey residential blocks and was completed in 2001. The 330-unit development comprises four-bedroom units of 2,885 sq ft, as well as six duplex penthouses of 8,740 sq ft.

The most profitable resale at Ardmore Park was that of one of the penthouses there for $30 million ($3,432 psf) in July 2010. The apartment was previously purchased for $17.29 million ($1,979 psf) in December 2006. As a result, the seller made a record profit of $12.7 million (73%) on the resale, which is an annualised profit of 16% over nearly four years.
Elsewhere, the sale of a 2,271 sq ft unit at Sky @ Eleven was the second most profitable during the week in review. The four-bedroom unit changed hands for $3.99 million ($1,760 psf) on March 22. It was previously transacted for $2.15 million ($950 psf) in March 2007. The seller thus made a profit of $1.84 million (85%) on the resale, which translates to an annualised profit of 4.5% over 14 years.
Sky @ Eleven is a freehold condominium on Thomson Lane in District 11. The 273-unit development was completed in 2010. It has three- and four-bedroom units of 1,851 to 2,820 sq ft, and penthouses of 4,844 to 5,597 sq ft.
Two other deals at the development earlier this year also resulted in a profit. A 2,713 sq ft, four-bedroom unit was sold for $4.5 million ($1,660 psf) on Jan 15 and had been purchased for $2.75 million ($1,015 psf) in April 2007. This resulted in a profit of $1.75 million (63%) and an annualised profit of 3% over nearly 14 years. A 2,820 sq ft unit was also sold for $4.8 million ($1,711 psf) on Feb 3; it was purchased for $4 million ($1,435 psf) in October 2010. The seller made $$778,300 (19%) and an annualised profit of 1.7% over 10 years.
The most unprofitable resale transaction during the week occurred at Silversea condominium in District 15. The 2,530 sq ft, four-bedroom unit was sold for $4.15 million ($1,641 psf) on March 22. The unit previously fetched $5.92 million ($2,340 psf) in November 2011. Thus, the transaction resulted in a loss of $1.77 million (30%), which translates to an annualised loss of 3.7% over more than nine years. This transaction is also the most unprofitable resale at the development so far.

Silversea is a 99-year leasehold development on Marine Parade Road. The 383-unit condo was completed in 2014. It comprises two-bedroom units of 969 to 1,152 sq ft; three-bedroom units of 1,485 to 1,701 sq ft; four-bedroom units of 2,497 to 2,766 sq ft; and penthouses of 3,552 to 4,962 sq ft.
The previous record for unprofitable deals at Silversea was for the sale of a 2,540 sq ft unit, for $3.66 million ($1,443 psf), in May 2017. But the property had been bought for $4.9 million ($1,931 psf) in April 2012. The seller thus made a loss of $1.23 million (24%), which translates to an annualised loss of 5% over five years.
