A four-bedroom unit at Honolulu Tower is on the market via private treaty and advertised by Knight Frank Singapore. It will be an owner’s sale and the 5,821 sq ft unit has an overview cost of $16.5 million, that translates to $2,834 psf on the floor area.

Tan anticipates the unit will appeal to buyers on the lookout for large-size condos to accomodate household needs, as well as those who plan to send their kids to any one of the neighboring schools.

Based on cautions lodged, resale transactions at Honolulu Tower are irregular. The most recent transaction happened in June 2021, when a four-bedder on the 7th floor was cost $10.8 million ($1,855 psf). Another four-bedroom unit on the 12th floor obtained $9.1 million ($1,563 psf) in July 2019.

A distinctive feature of the property’s design is a garden balcony that covers throughout fifty percent of the unit. This outdoor balcony is reachable from the living-room, private family hall, master bedroom, and among the other bedrooms. All the bedrooms are en suite. The real estate also presents separate living and dining-room, as well as an enclosed cooking area that goes to a backyard and an assistant’s room.

The latest property advancement in the spot is Perfect Ten, a 230-unit project launched for sale in 2021. The luxury project was totally offered last June at a standard cost of around $3,400 psf. Other real estate projects in the neighbourhood consist of Wing On Life Garden on Bukit Timah Roadway, where transaction rates average $2,255 psf, and Palm Spring on Ewe Boon Road, which sees an ordinary cost of $2,284 psf.

It is unusual to see a large-sized apartment such as this on the marketplace nowadays, as recent brand-new launch plans seldom supply units of this size, says Tricia Tan, supervisor of auction and sales at Knight Frank. “This unit feels very much like a ‘bungalow in the sky’ given its roomy design,” she explains, adding that the interest for large-sized luxury units currently surpasses the available resale supply in the marketplace.
