SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - This week, we look at projects that have hit new highs in terms of psf, and those that have crossed new lows, based on URA Realis data for the week of July 7 to 11.
The Lincoln Residences
A project that has achieved a new high this week was The Lincoln Residences. The 99-unit, 27-storey, freehold condominium block at Surrey Road saw a 1,367 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the ninth floor change hands for $2.72 million, according to a caveat lodged on July 9. This works out to $1,990 psf, which is an all-time-high for the development, which was completed in 2011. The buyer had purchased the unit for $1.5 million ($1,098 psf) from developer Sim Lian Group back in April 2009.
The Lincoln Residences comprises three- and four-bedroom apartments as well as penthouses, with sizes ranging from 1,281 sq ft to 3,337 sq ft. The project was completed in December 2011.
Located in the Newton area in prime District 11, the property is close to the Newton MRT Station, which is an interchange for both the North-South and Downtown Lines. The property is also close to Newton Food Centre, as well as shopping malls such as United Square, Velocity at Novena Square and Square 2, which are also linked to the Novena MRT Station.

The 1,862-unit Normanton Park was considered the best-selling project in 1H2021, having sold 51% of its units to date. The latest transaction was for a 581 sq ft, one-bedroom unit on the 23rd floor of one of the 24-storey blocks, which fetched $1.1 million, according to a caveat lodged on July 11. The unit also hit a new high of $1,899 psf for the development.
Normanton Park, which is developed by Chinese developer Kingsford Huray Development, was launched in January this year, and is the largest project launch of 2021.
