New high for Botanique at Bartley condo as unit fetches $2,407 psf
Botanique at Bartley, located along Upper Paya Lebar Road, topped the list of apartments and condos that scored new psf-price highs from April 14 to 19. A 926 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the 10th floor fetched $2.23 million on April 14, setting a record of $2,407 psf at the 99-year leasehold condo.
The new record narrowly surpasses the previous high of $2,401 psf, which was set just three weeks prior on March 25, when a 958 sq ft three-bedder on the ninth floor changed hands for $2.3 million.

The average resale price of units at the condo, which was completed in 2019, has been steadily climbing over the past few years amid high transaction volume. Based on caveat data tabulated by EdgeProp Singapore, the average transacted price was $1,915 psf in 2024 across 63 resale deals. It has since risen to $2,176 psf this year, based on 10 units that have changed hands in 2026 thus far.
The highest quantum ever recorded at the project was for a 1,130 sq ft three-bedder on the third floor that fetched nearly $2.51 million ($2,220 psf) in February.
Located in District 19, Botanique at Bartley has 797 units spread across nine residential towers. Its mix of one- to three-bedroom units ranges from 495 to 1,356 sq ft each.
The condo is a six-minute walk to Bartley MRT Station along the Circle Line. Within a 2km radius are several schools, including Cedar Primary School, Maris Stella High School (Primary and Secondary), and Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School (Primary and Secondary).
Ranking second for the period in review was a transaction at The Sixth Avenue Residences. This was achieved by a 1,356 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the third floor, with a price tag of $3.2 million ($2,359 psf). It edges out the condo’s former record of $2,323 psf, set by the $2.25 million sale of a 969 sq ft two-bedder in January 2023.
