The twin 36-storey towers of The Arc at Draycott are located on Draycott Drive and Ardmore Park. The freehold project by niche developer BS Capital was completed in 2008 and contains a mix of two- to four-bedroom units as well as penthouses.
A 1,130 sq ft, two-bedroom unit at The Arc at Draycott is on the market for $2.24 million ($1,982 psf). The unit is vacant, according to Linda Ong, a realtor with PropNex Realty, who is marketing the property.
The two most recent deals at The Arc at Draycott this year also involved 1,130 sq ft two-bedroom units: One was on the fifth floor and fetched $2.15 million ($1,902 psf) in March; the other, on the eighth floor of the same tower, was sold in May for $2.25 million ($1,991 psf).
Prices at The Arc at Draycott have fallen to the levels of 2005/06, when the project was launched
The asking price of the 1,130 sq ft two-bedder put up for sale recently is in line with the market, says Ong. Prices have softened since the peak of the market in July 2007, when a 1,270 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the 19th floor was sold for $3,000 psf, or $3.81 million.
Prices have fallen below $2,000 psf since the start of 2015. That year, a two-bedder was sold for $2.2 million ($1,947 psf) in January, and a 1,270 sq ft three-bedder fetched $2.43 million ($1,913 psf) in May, according to caveats lodged. This means prices have fallen to the levels of 2005/06, when the project was launched. Monthly rental rates for two- and three-bedroom units at The Arc at Draycott have averaged $4,717 over the past six months. This means a gross rental yield of 2.6%, based on the latest asking price.
