SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Freehold condo Belmond Green on 15D Balmoral Road topped the list of projects that achieved new highs in terms of psf-prices from May 17 to 24. This came about when a 969 sq ft, two-bedroom apartment on the eighth floor of Belmond Green was sold for $2.64 million, or $2,723 psf, based on a caveat lodged on May 17. The price is 2.6% higher than the previous record psf-price of $2,653, which came from the sale of a 1,270 sq ft, three-bedroom unit for $3.37 million on Feb 26.
