/ EdgeProp Singapore |
SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Among condos that hit a new psf-price high between Dec 29, 2023, and Jan 5, Signature At Lewis topped the list with the resale transaction of a two-bedder on Jan 5. The 980 sq ft unit on the seventh floor changed hands for $2.29 million, which works out to $2,338 psf. Caveats lodged show that the unit was purchased by the seller in December 2020 for $1.65 million ($1,684 psf). Hence, they made a gross gain of about $640,000 on the resale.
This is the second time a unit at Signature At Lewis has fetched a price above $2,000 psf. The first occurrence took place in August 2023, when another 980 sq ft, two-bedroom unit on the 11th floor was sold for $2.14 million or $2,183 psf.

Other amenities nearby include the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Adam Food Centre, and schools such as the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School on Dunearn Road and St Joseph’s Institution on Malcolm Road.
The Myst also saw a new psf-price high during the period in review. This was achieved by the developer sale of a 517 sq ft, onebedroom-plus-study unit on Jan 2 for $1.21 million. The price translates to $2,336 psf for the 20th-floor unit. This beats the previous high set last July for the sale of a 517 sq ft unit on the 19th floor for $1.2 million ($2,323 psf).
