The sale of a three-bedroom-plus-study unit at Martin Place Residences was the most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of April 9 to 16. The 1,722 sq ft unit on the 26th floor fetched $4.78 million ($2,775 psf) on April 11. The seller had bought the unit from the developer for $2.45 million ($1,423 psf) in June 2009, which means they made a profit of $2.33 million. This works out to a capital gain of 95% for the seller after holding the unit for almost 15 years.
The transaction is the second most profitable resale deal that has taken place at the condo. It is just $50,000 short of the record profit of $2.38 million that was reaped by the seller of a 2,002 sq ft unit in June 2022. The seller purchased the unit in June 2009 for $2.72 million ($1,359 psf) and later sold it for $5.1 million ($2,547 psf).
The April 11 transaction also marks a new psf-price high at Martin Place Residences, beating the previous high of $2,613 psf registered in October 2021 with the sale of a 1,722 sq ft unit for $4.5 million.

The second most profitable condo resale transaction during the week in review was the sale of a 1,453 sq ft unit at One Amber. The three-bedroom-plus-study unit changed hands for $3.2 million ($2,202 psf) on April 11. The seller, who purchased the unit from the developer in November 2006 for $1.09 million ($751 psf), netted a gain of $2.11 million (193%) after owning the unit for nearly 17½ years.
This is the third highest gain recorded to date at One Amber. The most profitable transaction was the sale of a 1,701 sq ft unit for $3.75 million ($2,205 psf) last August, with the seller making a profit of $2.43 million (84%) after holding the unit for more than 17 years.
