SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a 3,778 sq ft unit at Beverly Hill was the most profitable resale transaction over the week of March 2 to 9. The four-bedroom unit on the eighth floor was sold for $8.16 million ($2,160 psf) on March 3. The unit had been bought for $3.95 million ($1,045 psf) in April 2000. Thus, the seller earned a profit of $4.21 million (107%), which translates to an annualised profit of 3.5% over nearly 21 years.
Beverly Hill is a freehold condominium on Grange Road in prime District 10. It is close to the Orchard Road shopping belt as well as Orchard MRT Station on the North-South Line and Orchard Boulevard MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. The development is close to the Chatsworth Park Good Class Bungalow (GCB) Area and the landed housing neighbourhood along One Tree Hill.
The 86-unit development comprises a single 23-storey residential block and it was completed in 1983. There are only four-bedroom units available in the condo ranging in size from 3,369 sq ft to 3,778 sq ft, apart from two penthouses of 7,556 sq ft.

The first was a 3,778 unit on the 11th floor that changed hands for $8.1 million ($2,144 psf) on Oct 16, but the seller suffered a loss of $520,000 (6%) on this sale as the unit previously changed hands for $8.62 million ($2,282 psf) in July 2007.
The second transaction involved another four-bedder on the eighth floor that fetched $7.7 million ($2,038 psf) when it was sold on Dec 20, 2019. This seller earned a profit of $4.48 million (139%) as the unit had been bought for $3.22 million ($852 psf) in April 1995.
The sale of a 2,228 sq ft unit at Faber Garden Condominium was the second most profitable transaction during the week. The three-bedroom unit fetched $2.5 million ($1,122 psf) when it was sold on March 5. It had been bought for $1.1 million ($494 psf) in October 2000. Thus, the seller walked away with a profit of $1.4 million (127%), which translates to an annualised profit of 4.1% over 20 years.
This is the second resale transaction recorded at Faber Garden Condominium so far this year. It comes shortly after another 1,679 sq ft, three-bedroom unit was sold for $2.52 million ($1,505 psf) on March 1.
Faber Garden Condominium is a freehold development on Angklong Lane, off Upper Thomson Road in District 20. The 233-unit development launched its first collective sale attempt in 2018 with a $1.18 billion price tag but failed to attract any bids.
