This is the second time the unit has gone on the block. It was first put up for auction on Sept 26, with a slightly higher opening price of $4.3 million ($1,407 psf). There are only 29 sky villas at the 264-unit waterfront condominium.

Joy Tan, senior director and head of auction and sales at ET&Co, says the property will now be put up for sale via private treaty. She is optimistic about selling the penthouse, as it has drawn lots of enquiries. Tan says the price is reasonable.
The owner, a Singaporean, bought the three-bedroom unit on the 13th floor for $4.89 million ($1,600 psf) in February 2010 as an investment. The property is tenanted, but will be sold with vacant possession.
The sky villa comes with private lift access and the master bedroom has a bathroom en suite. Described by Tan as “bright, breezy and spacious”, the unit has views of the sea as well as the marina from the living area and bedrooms and is “well maintained”.
On the second level of the unit are the roof terrace and private pool, which offer views of the sea, adds Tan.
