/ EdgeProp Singapore |
SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The sale of a unit at Belle Vue Residences in District 9 was the most unprofitable transaction over the week of March 8 to 15. The seller incurred a loss of $2.7 million after a 3,552 sq ft unit on the fifth floor changed hands for $4.7 million ($1,324 psf) on March 9.
The unit was purchased in September 2012 for $7.4 million ($2,083 psf). As a result, the seller suffered a 36% loss over a holding period of 9½ years, or an annualised loss of 5%.
Belle Vue Residences is a low-rise, freehold condominium on Oxley Walk that comprises nine 5-storey blocks with 176 units and 36 private lifts. It was developed by Wing Tai Holdings and completed in 2010.
Located between Orchard Road and River Valley, it is a 15-minute walk from the Dhoby Ghaut Interchange which serves the North-East, North-South and Circle Lines. It is also close to Fort Canning Park, as well as the lifestyle areas around Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay.

Meanwhile, the seller of a unit at Goodwood Residence along Bukit Timah Road made the top gain of $2.21 million over the week. The 3,907 sq ft unit on the first floor was bought for $6.89 million ($1,763 psf) in April 2010 and sold for $9.1 million ($2,329 psf) on March 11. The seller therefore made a 32% profit, or an annualised profit of 2% over nearly 12 years.
The freehold, 210-unit Goodwood Residence was developed by GuocoLand and completed in 2013. Designed by acclaimed architect Woha, the District 10 project is a redevelopment of the former Casa Rosita on Bukit Timah Road, which GuocoLand had purchased for $280 million in 2006.

It was purchased for $9 million ($3,120 psf) in January 2011. The seller therefore made an annualised profit of 2% over 11 years.
Ardmore Park is a freehold luxury development that was completed in 2001. There are 330 four-bedroom units of 2,885 sq ft and six duplex penthouses of 8,740 sq ft.
