In terms of absolute prices, the most expensive new sale property transaction to have taken place this year was at Marina One Residences, when a 6,469 sq ft penthouse unit sold for $18 million ($2,782 psf) in June.
This was also the most expensive unit to have been sold at the integrated development by M+S, a joint-venture company 60%-owned by Malaysian sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional and 40%-owned by its Singapore counterpart Temasek Holdings.
Based on URA data, the average transacted psf for residential units at the development in 2018 was $2,543.
