SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a one-bedroom unit at One Pearl Bank, located in District 3’s Outram area, fetched the highest price on a psf basis recorded between July 12 and 24. The 99-year leasehold unit, which measures 560 sq ft and is located on the 36th floor, was sold by developer CapitaLand on July 13 for $1.66 million, or $2,959 psf.
One Pearl Bank comprises two 39-storey residential towers that are linked at the roofs via sky bridges. There are a total of 774 units comprising a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedders, with sizes ranging from 430 to 2,800 sq ft.
Slated for completion in 2023, One Pearl Bank is a three-minute walk via a sheltered walkway to Outram Park MRT Station, which is an interchange for the East-West, NorthEast and Thomson-East Coast Lines. The condo is also within close proximity of the Singapore General Hospital Campus within the Outram estate.
Based on caveats lodged, 40% of units at One Pearl Bank have been sold to date at an average price of $2,424 psf since the project’s launch in July 2019.
The project is a redevelopment of the former Pearl Bank Apartments, which was considered Singapore’s first high-rise residential building when completed in 1976. It was purchased en bloc by CapitaLand for $728 million in February 2018.
