SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The seller of a unit at Camelot By-The-Water, on Tanjong Rhu Road, made the top gain of $1 million over the week of Jan 28 to Feb 4. The 4,801 sq ft unit on the 14th floor was bought for $5.6 million ($1,166 psf) in February 2008 and sold for $6.6 million ($1,375 psf) on Jan 30. The seller therefore made a 18% profit, or an annualised profit of 1% over 12 years.

Located in District 15, Camelot By-The-Water was completed in 2000 and comprises 99 units on a 99-year leasehold. It is a five-minute walk to the upcoming Tanjong Rhu MRT Station on the Thomson East-Coast Line, which is slated for completion in 2023.

The 1,421 sq ft unit on the first floor was purchased for $965,295 ($679 psf) in September 2005 and sold for $1.95 million ($1,372 psf) on Jan 31. This means that the seller made an annualised profit of 5% over 14 years.
