SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The seller of a unit at Leonie Parc View, on Leonie Hill Road, made the top loss of $2.12 million over the period of April 26 to May 5. The 2,013 sq ft unit on the 17th floor was bought for $6.55 million ($3,254 psf) in August 2007 and sold for $4.43 million ($2,200 psf) on May 4.

Located in District 9, Leonie Parc View was completed in 2009 and comprises 44 freehold units. It is a one-minute drive to the upcoming Great World MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, slated for completion in 2021.
