This is the second time the property will be put up for auction.

The unit measures 2,012 sq ft, which means the guide price works out to $2,311 psf. It is tenanted until July 1, and will be sold with the existing tenancy, says Ker. It has a private lift lobby which leads directly to the home’s entrance. A foyer opens to a living and dining area that overlooks a balcony with unblocked views of Orchard Road.

It marked the highest psf price achieved for a unit transacted at the development since January 2013, when another 1,819 sq ft unit was sold for $4.3 million ($2,364 psf). The highest psf price recorded at the development was in September 2011, when a penthouse unit measuring 7,686 sq ft was sold for $22.33 million ($2,905 psf).

Ker expects the property to generate interest from prospective buyers as it is within walking distance of the Orchard Road shopping belt and 400m away from Somerset MRT Station on the North-South Line.
