Among the condos and apartments that hit a new peak in terms of psf-price transacted between April 19 and April 26, Newton Suites ranked the highest. This was achieved with the sale of a 1,238 sq ft three-bedroom unit on the 28th floor for $3.05 million on April 22. The price translates to $2,464 psf.

This is 7.8% higher than the apartment’s former record of $2,286 psf that was set in July 2022 when the unit on the 17th floor in the same stack was sold for $2.83 million.

The unit sold on April 22 was previously acquired in December 2016 for $2.35 million or $1,898 psf. This means the seller made a profit of $700,000.

This is the first sales transaction lodged at Newton Suites so far this year. No transactions were recorded for the entirety of 2023 and just two transactions occurred in 2022, recording an average price of $2,238 psf.

The unit sold on April 25 was purchased from the developer in September 2013 for about $852,000 or $2,263 psf. Thus, the seller made a profit of about $38,000.
