Four-bedroom unit at St Regis Residences incurs $3.2 mil loss


SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The top loss of the week during the week of Dec 29, 2020, to Jan 5, 2021, was incurred by the seller of a four-bedroom unit on the seventh floor at St Regis Residences Singapore in District 10. The 2,594 sq ft unit was bought in December 2007 for $8 million ($3,084 psf) and sold on Jan 5 for $4.8 million ($1,850 psf). The seller therefore saw a 40% loss of $3.2 million, which is annualised at 3.8% over 13 years.

St Regis Residences Singapore is a 173-unit condominium along Tanglin Road. Developed by City Developments, it is located next to The St Regis Singapore hotel and is a short drive to the Orchard Road shopping belt and Tanglin Mall. The 999-year leasehold project was completed in 2008.

The second top loss was also incurred in District 10, at the 60-unit Orange Grove Residences. The seller of a 3,671 sq ft, four-bedroom duplex penthouse on the fifth floor saw a 25% loss of $1.96 million when the unit was sold at $5.95 million ($1,621 psf) on Jan 5. The unit was bought for $7.91 million ($2,155 psf) in February 2007. The loss is annualised at 2% over almost 14 years.

Orange Grove Residences is located along Orange Grove Road off Stevens Road, in a private enclave surrounded by premium hotels such as Mercure Singapore on Stevens, Novotel Singapore on Stevens and Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. It is also within a few minutes by car to Tanglin Mall and Orchard Road.

On the other hand, the top gain of the week was made by the sale of a three-bedroom unit at Pebble Bay at Tanjong Rhu Road in District 15. The 1,894 sq ft unit on the eighth floor was bought in February 2003 for $1.13 million ($595 psf) and changed hands on Jan 5 for $2.61 million ($1,377 psf). The seller therefore earned a 131% profit of $1.48 million, which translates to an annualised profit of 4.8% over almost 18 years.

Pebble Bay, a 99-year leasehold development by CapitaLand, comprises 510 units. Located along the waterfront facing the CBD, it is a 10-minute walk to Stadium MRT Station on the Circle Line. The upcoming Tanjong Rhu MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which is slated to be completed in 2023, will be next to it.

The second most profitable deal was the transaction of a 2,207 sq ft, three-bedroom duplex penthouse at The Calrose. The development is along Yio Chu Kang Road in District 26. The fifth-floor unit was bought in March 2006 for $931,354 ($422 psf) and sold on Jan 5 for $2.03 million ($920 psf). The seller therefore made a 118% profit of $1.1 million, which is annualised at 5.4% over close to 15 years.

The Calrose, a development by MCL Land, comprises 421 units spread across six 5-storey blocks. It was built in 2008 on freehold land. It is a six-minute drive to AMK Hub and nearby schools include Yio Chu Kang Secondary School and Anderson Serangoon Junior College.


The sale of a 1,292 sq ft three-bedroom unit on the fourth floor at Mera Springs in District 8 was the third most profitable deal over the week. The unit, which was bought in August 2006 for $868,224 ($672 psf), changed hands for $1.9 million ($1,471 psf) on Jan 5. The seller made a 119% profit of $1.03 million, which is annualised at 5.6% over 14½ years.

Mera Springs is a freehold condominium along Carlisle Road. Completed in 2008 by MCL Land, it comprises 129 units across 21 floors.
