SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The most profitable resale transaction during the week of Feb 16 to 23 occurred at the Grange Residences in prime District 10. A 2,852 sq ft, four-bedroom unit there was sold for $7.38 million ($2,587 psf) on Feb 16. The eighth-floor unit had previously fetched $3.48 million ($1,221 psf) in May 2004. This means that the seller made a profit of about $3.9 million (112%) on the sale, translating to an annualised profit of 5% over almost 17 years.
Grange Residences is a freehold condominium on Grange Road. The development is close to luxury residential developments such as 3 Orchard By-The-Park, Cuscaden Reserve and 19 Nassim. The condo is also opposite Tanglin Mall and Camden Medical Centre, and will be next to Orchard Boulevard MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. The station is expected to open later this year.
