Midtown Bay has topped the list of condos that hit a new psf-price high from Jan 12 to 20. This follows the developer sale of a one-bedroom unit on the 22nd floor measuring 484 sq ft for $2.028 million on Jan 19. The price works out to $4,190 psf, marking a new high for the 99-year leasehold apartment located on Beach Road in District 7.
Midtown Bay is part of the Guoco Midtown integrated development in the Beach Road and Bugis area. This 219-unit condominium is one of two residential projects within the development, the other being Midtown Modern, a 588-unit complex situated on Tan Quee Lan Street. Guoco Midtown features residential spaces, a 30-storey Grade A office tower, a business and lifestyle hub and retail spaces. It is connected to the Bugis MRT Interchange Station, serving both the Downtown and EastWest Lines. Construction of the mixed-use development is progressing in phases, with the completion of the office tower, network hub and retail podium in the last year. The residential developments are expected to be finished by the middle of the year.
